X/Open standard interface

In addition to the standard ODBC functions, the Informix® ODBC Driver also supports the additional functions.

The following functions are supported by Informix® ODBC Driver
_fninfx_xa_switch
Function for acquiring the xa_switch structure defined by Enterprise Records Manager
IFMX_SQLGetXaHenv
Function for obtaining the environment handle associated with an XA Connection
IFMX_SQLGetXaHdbc
Function for obtaining the database handle associated with an XA Connection
xa_open
Function takes an xa_info parameter. The Informix® ODBC Driver uses this xa_info to establish a XA connection
The format of xa_info is as follows:
<appilcationtoken>|<DSN name>

The application token is a unique number the application generates for each xa_open request. It must use the same application token as parameter to IFMX_SQLGetXaHenv and IFMX_SQLGetXaHdbc to get the associated environment and database handles.
