Process order: Saga message handler receives first message containing data items. Message handler uses

  • 0

Process order:

  • Saga message handler receives first message containing data items.
  • Message handler uses business objects that has it’s own database transaction.
  • If items are updated OK, database transaction commits and saga completes.
  • Saga message handler receives second message containing data items.
  • Message handler throws exception trying to open new database transaction as above.

Error message:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.

There’s quite a lot of code covering the above flow but I’m happy to post what will be useful.

    I peeled back the transactions to find that the saga handler was opening another database connection and by default, the connection is enlisted in the DTC. I added “Enlist=false” to the connection string as the exceptions thrown by database need to be caught and dealt accordingly rather than collapsing the distributed transaction. Now it behaves as expected.

    Thanks for your input, I’ll be revisiting the code and taking your comments on-board.
