To disable distributed transaction logging with the Admin Console, go to Configurations > config-name > Transaction Service. Click on Add Property, and specify:
Name: disable-distributed-transaction-logging
Value: true
You can also set this property with asadmin, for example:
asadmin set server1.transaction-service.disable-distributed-transaction-logging=true
Setting this attribute to true disables transaction logging, which can improve performance. Setting it to false (the default), makes the transaction service write transactional activity to transaction logs so that transactions can be recovered. If Recover on Restart is checked, this property is ignored.
Set this property to true only if performance is more important than transaction recovery.
