------------------------------ MODULE TwoPhase ------------------------------
(***************************************************************************)
(* This specification is discussed in "Two-Phase Commit", Lecture 6 of the *)
(* TLA+ Video Course. It describes the Two-Phase Commit protocol, in *)
(* which a transaction manager (TM) coordinates the resource managers *)
(* (RMs) to implement the Transaction Commit specification of module *)
(* TCommit. In this specification, RMs spontaneously issue Prepared *)
(* messages. We ignore the Prepare messages that the TM can send to the *)
(* RMs. *)
(* *)
(* For simplicity, we also eliminate Abort messages sent by an RM when it *)
(* decides to abort. Such a message would cause the TM to abort the *)
(* transaction, an event represented here by the TM spontaneously deciding *)
(* to abort. *)
(***************************************************************************)
CONSTANT RM \* The set of resource managers
VARIABLES
rmState, \* rmState[r] is the state of resource manager r.
tmState, \* The state of the transaction manager.
tmPrepared, \* The set of RMs from which the TM has received "Prepared"
\* messages.
msgs
(***********************************************************************)
(* In the protocol, processes communicate with one another by sending *)
(* messages. For simplicity, we represent message passing with the *)
(* variable msgs whose value is the set of all messages that have been *)
(* sent. A message is sent by adding it to the set msgs. An action *)
(* that, in an implementation, would be enabled by the receipt of a *)
(* certain message is here enabled by the presence of that message in *)
(* msgs. For simplicity, messages are never removed from msgs. This *)
(* allows a single message to be received by multiple receivers. *)
(* Receipt of the same message twice is therefore allowed; but in this *)
(* particular protocol, that's not a problem. *)
(***********************************************************************)
Messages ==
(*************************************************************************)
(* The set of all possible messages. Messages of type "Prepared" are *)
(* sent from the RM indicated by the message's rm field to the TM. *)
(* Messages of type "Commit" and "Abort" are broadcast by the TM, to be *)
(* received by all RMs. The set msgs contains just a single copy of *)
(* such a message. *)
