DELETE TRANSACTION
attempted to abort but could not; a
committed
transaction is one that successfully
completed its changes to the database. (More about these and other transaction states
appears in the STATUS TRANSACTIONS command description.) As an example, you
can use a DELETE TRANSACTION command to remove a transaction that was hung
by the backout process because of audit reading errors; in fact, you can only eliminate
this transaction by forcibly removing it.
Usually, you will not manually alter the states of any transactions as the result of a
communications link failure. Transactions in the committed state cause no problems:
they do not hold database locks and they do not retain (pin) audit trail files on disk. The
only reason you might want to consider deleting a transaction from the committed state
is if the child node is destroyed and will never come back online.
