=== Description

The `rollback-transaction` subcommand rolls back the named transaction.

Before you can roll back a transaction, you must do the following:

1. Enable monitoring using the `set` subcommand. For example:
+
[source]
----
asadmin> set clstr1-config.monitoring-service.module-monitoring-levels.transaction-service=HIGH
----
2. Use the `freeze-transaction-service` subcommand to halt in-process
transactions.
3. Look up the active transactions using the `get` subcommand with the
`--monitor` option. For example:
+
[source]
----
asadmin> get --monitor inst1.server.transaction-service.activeids-current
----

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
