To avoid using the MS SQL Server transaction manager, specify -Dsrv AUTOCOMMIT,1. This option exercises the OpenEdge client's local before-image mechanism to manage transactions. This creates a transaction from each SQL statement that the DataServer issues. OpenEdge emulates the logical transaction on behalf of the application using the local before-image mechanism. This connection technique is useful in multi-database applications.

Note: OpenEdge does not guarantee crash recovery when it uses the local before-image mechanism to emulate transactions.
