ORA-00155 Cannot Perform Work Outside of Global Transaction

Error Code
ORA-00155

Description
Cannot perform work outside of global transaction.

Cause
Possible cause of this error is, the application tried to perform some work on either an Oracle 7.3 server or an Oracle8 server with local transactions disabled while outside of a global transaction.

Action
To fix this error, check if the application is connected to an Oracle 7.3 server. The Transaction monitor must not return a NULL XID on an AX_REG call when the resource manager is Oracle 7.3. If the application is connected to an Oracle8 server, either set nolocal=f in the xa_open string or start a global transaction prior to attempting the work.
