RECO—the Recoverer process

The Recoverer process is used by the Oracle distributed transaction facility to recover from failures involving distributed transactions by:

  • Connecting to other databases involved in the distributed transaction

  • Removing rows corresponding to any in-doubt transaction from each database’s transaction table

If a database is not available when RECO attempts to connect, it automatically attempts to connect again after waiting a predetermined interval.
