That is, if something goes wrong the TM and RMs involved in the transaction will always attempt to rollback their portion of the transaction (work). It ensures the atomicity (ACID) of a transaction. In phase one, the TM asks all RMs if they are ready and able to commit a transaction. If a RM net, program responds negatively, the RM will automatically rollback any work it performed on behalf of the transaction and discard any knowledge it had of the transaction. In phase two, the TM determines if there are any negative replies, and if so, instructs all RMs to rollback. If all replies are positive, it will instruct the RMs to commit.
