From version 4 on, {{UBIK}} uses the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC or DTC) to manage database transactions. However, there's the necessity for correct configuration on both the database server as well as the application server to make it work. This article explains how to do that.
{{hint|On Microsoft Azure SQL Database services, MSDTC is not supported - but apparently, it's not needed either (as documented [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/elastic-transactions-overview?view=azuresql here]]). So If you don't face any problems this article can be ignored when working with Azure SQL Database.}}
