Abstract
A transaction processing system manages an information collection by employing a two-phase transaction commit protocol. Transaction participants are provided a unique identifier for use in communicating with the transaction management facility in a distributed environment. If the participant is lost, a backup participant is created, and provided with the same identifier as the failed participant to carry on with the transaction in place of the failed participant.
