asp, MTS, and credit card transactions
asp, MTS, and credit card transactions
(OP)
I know virtually nothing about MTS.
I have an asp page which uses a third party credit-card processing component (Verisign's PaymentFlowPro). I have the page working OK and it approves or denies credit-card transactions appropriately which is followed by a some database actions on my server.
Suppose that the transaction is approved but an error then occurs in my asp page (or the connection is lost or whatever). I think I understand that if I make this page transactional, MTS will rollback any local database changes. However, if the bank transaction was successful on the remote server and funds were transferred, but then an error occurs in my asp page, how will MTS also rollback the remote changes? There would be no record in my database of an order but the user will get a credit-card bill...
Does this question make sense? Maybe I don't understand what MTS is doing. Can anyone explain this to me?

If the communcation fails then we simply set the status of a SQL Server record to Error.
