== freeze-transaction-service

Freezes the transaction subsystem

[[sthref1193]]

=== Synopsis

[source]
----
asadmin [asadmin-options] freeze-transaction-service [--help]
[--target target]
----

[[sthref1194]]

=== Description

The `freeze-transaction-service` subcommand freezes the transaction
subsystem, preventing the transaction manager from starting, completing,
or changing the state of all in-flight transactions. Invoke this command
before rolling back any in-flight transactions. Invoking this subcommand
on an already frozen transaction subsystem has no effect. Restarting the
server unfreezes the transaction subsystem. This subcommand is supported
in remote mode only.
