VMS Help  —  XGCP
    On OpenVMS Alpha and I64 systems, the XA Gateway Control Program
    utility (XGCP) provides the management interface to the DECdtm
    XA Gateway and creates the transaction logs used by the DECdtm
    XA Gateway. It can also be used to stop and restart the XA
    Gateway server.

    The Gateway allows a DECdtm-compliant resource manager, such as
    RMS Journaling or Oracle Rdb, to be used with an XA-compliant
    transaction manager.

3.1  –  Qualifiers

3.1.1    /GATEWAY_NAME

    This qualifier is required. Specify a gateway name of up to 15
    characters.

    Creates a gateway log named SYS$JOURNAL:name.DDTM$XG_JOURNAL.
    Create a separate Gateway log for each Gateway name under which
    you want your XA applications to run.

3.1.2    /SIZE 

       /SIZE=size

    Specifies the initial size of the log, in blocks. If you omit
