      Trace Analysis: WTRN0063E An illegal attempt to commit a one phase capable resource with existing two phase capable reso
      IBM developerWorks Oct
      It amazes me that the smallest configuration missteps can cause the biggest problems in an environment. The good thing is most of the time small changes are easy to fix. In this blog, I am going to teach you how to understand and resolve the infamous WTRN0063E. Thus, you'll go from zero to hero next time this exception is thrown in the SystemOut.log file. You'll be able to explain the issue and resolution to the application developer, the System Admin, and your manager with ease and without opening a PMR (Problem Record) with IBM.
