I'm having a WHOLE lot of fun trying to track down
the source of some ORA-2049 (timeout: distributed
transaction waiting for lock) in a purchased app=20
called Matrix.  I have a number of questions I'm hoping=20
someone can answer.

Now, according to Metalink, this occurs when a session is=20
waiting on a TX enqueue that another session is holding AND
the waiting session is performing a distributed operation
via a DB link.

Also, according to Metalink (in a different document), TX
enqueues are taken on particular slots in particular rollback
segments.


If a new connection does, as it's first statment, a read across
a DB link, is a TX enqueue aquired immediately on a local rollback=20
segment (as I think it is?)

Why would two transactions need the same TX enqueue? Is it because
they are attempting to update the same row locally (which I have been=20
unable to prove or disprove yet)?  Is it because they are=20
both going after the same rows remotely?  Is it a lack of available =
slots
in the rollback segments (ie, not enough rollback segments)?

None of these scenerios seem very likely in this case, but I'm=20
grasping at straws here.
