Linked Server COMMIT TRANSACTION fail on TRY CATCH - sql-server

Question

i'm working with Linked Server, and this code working fine
BEGIN TRY
INSERT INTO [Dev].[dbo].tb_test (no) SELECT no from [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
DELETE FROM [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT 'fail'
END CATCH
but when i use it with COMMIT TRANSACTION, like this
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO [Dev].[dbo].tb_test (no) SELECT no from [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
DELETE FROM [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
COMMIT
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK
END CATCH
show error
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "MYLINKEDSERVER" returned message
"The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for
remote/network transactions.".
What is wrong?

Answer 1

The solution is to write a stored procedure on remote server with return value, and execute it locally:
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO [Dev].[dbo].tb_test (no)
SELECT no
FROM [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
DECLARE #returnvalue INT
EXEC #returnvalue = [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].sp_update #no
IF #returnvalue = 1
BEGIN
COMMIT
END
ELSE
BEGIN
ROLLBACK
END
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK
END CATCH
The stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_update]
#no NVARCHAR(20)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DELETE FROM mytb
WHERE no = #no
COMMIT
RETURN 1
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK
RETURN 0
END CATCH
END
Hope help someone

Try executing below command on Server on which you are going to do insert operation.
EXEC sp_serveroption #server = 'ReadServerName',#optname = 'remote proc transaction promotion', #optvalue = 'false' ;
Also try executing below code. I have added BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION instead of BEGIN TRANSACTION.
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO [Dev].[dbo].tb_test (no) SELECT no from [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
DELETE FROM [MYLINKEDSERVER].[mydb].[dbo].tb_test
COMMIT
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK
END CATCH

Try this it should work
DECLARE #ServerName SYSNAME
, #Message nvarchar(1000)
, #CMD1 nvarchar(max)
--
DECLARE #Server_List Table
( SrvID SMALLINT
, SrvName SYSNAME )
--
Set NoCount ON
--
-- Load up linked server list
--
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #Server_List (SrvID, SrvName)
SELECT SrvID
, SrvName
FROM [master].[SYS].sysservers
ORDER BY SrvID ASC
END
--
SELECT TOP 1 #ServerName = SrvName
FROM #Server_List
ORDER BY SrvID ASC
--
-- Loop through the Linked Server List
--
WHILE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM #Server_List )
BEGIN
SELECT #Message = 'Server Name is '+ #ServerName
--
RAISERROR (#Message, 10,1) WITH NOWAIT
--
SET #CMD1 = 'EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption #server=N'''
+ #ServerName
+ ''', #optname=N''rpc'', #optvalue=N''true'''
Exec sp_executesql #cmd1
--
SET #CMD1 = 'EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption #server=N'''
+ #ServerName
+ ''', #optname=N''rpc out'', #optvalue=N''true'''
Exec sp_executesql #cmd1
--
set #cmd1 = 'EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption #server = '''
+ #ServerName
+ ''', #optname=N''remote proc transaction promotion'', #optvalue=N''false'''
Exec sp_executesql #stmt=#cmd1,#params=N''
--
DELETE FROM #Server_List WHERE SrvName = #ServerName
--
SELECT TOP 1 #ServerName = SrvName
FROM #Server_List
ORDER BY SrvID ASC
--
END
