  • Systems and methods for enlisting single phase commit resources in a two phase commit transaction
    Patent number: 10048983
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enlisting single phase commit resources in a two phase commit transaction. An exemplary method includes accessing a global transaction having a plurality of processes requiring single phase commit (1PC) resource and a two phase commit (2PC) resource, initializing a 1PC resource manager for the 1PC resource with a first process of the plurality of processes, wherein the first process requires the 1PC resource, preparing a 2PC resource manager for the 2PC resource with a second process of the plurality of processes, wherein the second process requires the 2PC resource, generating a unique identifier for the 1PC resource, transmitting the unique identifier to the 1PC resource manager, and instructing the 1PC resource manager to commit the first process to the 1PC resource, wherein committing the first process to the 1PC resource comprises recording the unique identifier to the 1PC resource.
