Patent 9201919 was granted and assigned to Red Hat on December, 2015 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A processing device executing a transaction manager sends prepare messages to a plurality of participants of a two-phase commit distributed transaction. Responsive to receiving commit responses from each of the plurality of participants, the processing device commits the two-phase commit distributed transaction. The processing device then ends the two-phase commit distributed transaction without first sending commit messages to the plurality of participants.
