The first resource manager is configured to enlist in the atomic transaction and manage a resource related to the side effecting action. The second resource manager is configured to enlist in the atomic transaction and manage the transaction memory. The transaction manager is coupled to the first and second resource managers and manager is configured to receive a vote from the first and second resource managers as to whether to commit the transaction.
