Event Information According to Microsoft :

This event is logged when the XA Transaction Manager called the "GetXaSwitch" function in the XA resource manager DLL.

Resolution :

Check XA registry keys

An error condition may have resulted from a problem with a registry key for an X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing Standard (XA) provider. Check whether the registry keys are appropriate for your XA provider, and then restart the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC) service.

The XA specification requires that xa_open be called on any thread that attempts to perform an xa_* operation, such as xa_prepare. The MSDTC XA implementation does not do this. Instead, the MSDTC implementation of XA uses a thread pool to process the XA operations. Currently, there is no guarantee that the xa_open is done on the same thread that does an xa_prepare or other xa_* operation.

To enforce the XA specification requirement for an xa_open call on every thread, add the XAMultiThreaded registry key.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators , or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
