STATUS_INDOUBT_TRANSACTIONS_EXIST

The resource manager still has unresolved transaction outcomes

STATUS_INDOUBT_TRANSACTIONS_EXIST means the requested operation would be unsafe while one or more transactions remain in doubt. An in-doubt transaction is one for which the resource manager cannot yet determine the final commit or rollback outcome.

In this state, maintenance, cleanup, snapshot, or resource-manager operations can be rejected because proceeding could make recovery impossible or expose inconsistent file-system state.

What to check

Transaction-manager recovery and resource-manager recovery events for the affected volume.
Distributed Transaction Coordinator involvement if the transaction spans multiple stores or computers.
Whether the log file and TxF metadata are available for recovery.
Whether the operation is safe only after in-doubt transactions are resolved.

Useful distinction

This is different from a simple active transaction. The issue is uncertainty about the transaction outcome, which is especially important during recovery.
