Global Transaction Status Table

Taking the db mode as an example, global_table is the global transaction table of Seata. You can determine which state the global transaction is in by observing the status field in the global_table.

StatusCodeRemark
Global transaction begins (Begin)1This status can accept new branch transaction registration
Global transaction committing (Committing)2This status can change at any time
Global transaction commit retry (CommitRetry)3Retry commit after resolving commit exceptions
Global transaction rolling back (Rollbacking)4Rolling back global transaction in progress
Global transaction rollback retrying (RollbackRetry)5Retry transaction rollback after resolving global rollback exceptions

For better understanding, below are additional descriptions for individual states:

Global Transaction Timeout Rollbacking (TimeoutRollbacking)

How does it occur?

  1. When a seata global transaction is unable to complete business logic during execution.
  2. A scheduled task in TC (specifically used to find timed out global transactions) discovers that the global transaction has not completed rollback, it will change this global transaction to Global Transaction Timeout Rollbacking (TimeoutRollbacking) and start rollback, until the global_table data is deleted after rollback is completed.

Recommendation: When you find a global transaction in this state, investigate why the business cannot complete within the specified time. If it is indeed unable to complete, the global transaction timeout should be extended. (If everything is normal, please check if the tc cluster's time zone is consistent with the database. If not, please make it consistent).
