ISO/IEC 14834:1996 情報技術—分散トランザクション処理—XA仕様 | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.

International Standard ISO/IEC 14834 was prepared by X/Open Company Ltd. (as XO/CAE/91/300) and was adopted, under a special"fast-track procedure", by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of ISO and IEC.

Appendix A forms an integral part of this International Standard. Appendices B to F are for information only.

Introduction

(This introduction is not a normative part of ISO/IEC 14834, Information technology—Distributed Transaction Processing—The XA Specification, but is included for information only.)

This International Standard specifies the bidirectional interface between a transaction manager and resource manager (the XA interface) in an X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) environment. It is based on X/Open CAE Specification, Distributed Transaction Processing: The XA Specification (December 1991). This International Standard is technically identical to the X/Open version. For informative purposes, this International Standard also contains the text of the X/Open DTP Reference Model Version 3 which X/Open has published as a separate Guide.
