1.6 Applicability Statement

This protocol is applicable to scenarios that require the processing of WS-AtomicTransaction messages, as specified in [WSAT10] and [WSAT11], when one or more of the coordinators involved are implemented as an OleTx transaction manager, as described in [MS-DTCO].

This protocol requires network topologies where the transports protocol described in [MS-CMPO], the multiplexing protocol described in [MS-CMP], and the SOAP protocols [SOAP1.1] and [SOAP1.2-1/2003] create a viable network transport for establishing many short-lived connection exchanges that accomplish specific tasks.<1>
