The DbEnv::txn_recover method returns a list of those prepared transactions.</p> <p>The DbEnv::txn_recover method should only be called after the environment has been recovered.</p> <p>Multiple threads of control may call DbEnv::txn_recover, but only one thread of control may resolve each returned transaction, that is, only one thread of control may call <a href="../api_cxx/txn_commit.html">DbTxn::commit</a> or <a href="../api_cxx/txn_abort.html">DbTxn::abort</a> on each returned transaction. Callers of DbEnv::txn_recover must call <a href="../api_cxx/txn_discard.html">DbTxn::discard</a> to discard each transaction they do not resolve.</p> <p>On return from DbEnv::txn_recover, the <b>preplist</b> parameter will be filled in with a list of transactions that must be resolved by the application (committed, aborted or discarded). The <b>preplist</b> parameter is a structure of type DB_PREPLIST; the following DB_PREPLIST fields will be filled in:</p> <br> <b>DB_TXN * txn;</b><ul compact><li>The transaction handle for the transaction.</ul> <b>u_int8_t gid[DB_XIDDATASIZE];</b><ul compact><li>The global transaction ID for the transaction. The global transaction ID is the one specified when the transaction was prepared. The application is responsible for ensuring uniqueness among global transaction IDs.</ul> <br> <p>The DbEnv::txn_recover method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success. </p> <b>Parameters</b> <br> <b>count</b><ul compact><li>The <b>count</b> parameter specifies the number of available entries in the passed-in <b>preplist</b> array. The <b>retp</b> parameter returns the number of entries DbEnv::txn_recover has filled in, in the array.</ul> <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to one of the following values: <br> <b><a name="DB_FIRST">DB_FIRST</a></b><ul compact><li>Begin returning a list of prepared, but not yet resolved transactions. Specifying this flag begins a new pass over all prepared, but not yet completed transactions, regardless of whether they have already been returned in previous calls to DbEnv::txn_recover. Calls to DbEnv::txn_recover from different threads of control should not be intermixed in the same environment.</ul> <b><a name="DB_NEXT">DB_NEXT</a></b><ul compact><li>Continue returning a list of prepared, but not yet resolved transactions, starting where the last call to DbEnv::txn_recover left off.</ul> <br></ul> <b>preplist</b><ul compact><li>The <b>preplist</b> parameter references memory into which the list of transactions to be resolved by the application is copied.</ul> <br> <hr size=1 noshade> <br><b>Class</b> <a href="../api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a>, <a href="../api_cxx/txn_class.html">DbTxn</a> <br><b>See Also</b> <a href="../api_cxx/txn_list.html">Transaction Subsystem and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../api_cxx/api_core.html"><img src="../images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../ref/toc.html"><img src="../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
