3.1.1.3.4 FreeTipConnection Operation

The FreeTipConnection operation is called when a TIP transaction manager facet no longer requires the TIP connection. The input parameter for this MUST be a TIP connection object. The TIP connection manager MUST perform the following actions:

  • If the TIP connection object's Enlistment field references an enlistment object, clear the enlistment object's TIP Connection field.

  • If the TIP connection manager initiated the TCP connection corresponding to the TIP connection, it SHOULD reuse it as specified in [RFC2371] section 4.
