Enable inter-domain transactions


To manage or participate in transactions that span multiple WebLogic Server domains (that is, all participating domains run on WebLogic Server 9.x, 8.x, 7.x, or 6.x, or a combination of these versions), you must set the security mode for the communication channel and establish domain trust for all participating domains.

To enable inter-domain transactions, perform the following steps for each participating domain:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the Domain Structure tree, select the domain name at the top of the tree.
  3. Select the Security > General tab, then click Advanced to display the advanced configuration options.
  4. In the Security Interoperability Mode drop-down box, select the security mode for the communication channel you will use to make XA calls.

    For more information about these options see Advanced Configuration Options

    For information on how to configure Security Interoperability Mode for participating domains, see Setting Security Interoperability Mode.

  5. If present, clear the Enable Generated Credential check box.
  6. In Credential, enter and verify the new credential that you want to use to enable inter-domain transactions. You must enter the same credential for all domains that participate in transactions that span multiple domains.

    If WebLogic Server 6.x domains participate in the distributed transactions, use the system password from the WebLogic Server 6.x domain.

    For information on domain trust, see Enabling Trust Between WebLogic Server Domains.

  7. Click Save.
  8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

If you have domains running on WebLogic Server 6.1, see Changing the System Password for instructions to set the system password to the same value as the credential specified in domains running on later version of WebLogic Server.
