Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The error code ERROR_TRANSACTION_NOT_REQUESTED with the numeric value 6703 and hexadecimal representation 0x1A2F indicates that a caller has attempted to retrieve a response from an API, but this response is not expected because the Transaction Manager (TM) did not issue the corresponding request.
Error Details
This error typically occurs in scenarios where a transactional operation was initiated by the TM and the caller expects a response upon completion. However, if the TM has not issued such a request or the request was completed without generating a response, calling the API to retrieve this response will result in this error.
Usage Context
This error is relevant in environments where transactional operations are managed by the Transaction Manager (TM). The TM ensures that transactions are atomic and consistent across multiple resources. When a transaction is initiated, the caller expects certain responses or outcomes based on the operation's completion status.
Developer Interpretation
Developers should interpret this error as an indication that the expected response was not generated by the TM. This could be due to various reasons such as incorrect usage context, invalid parameters, or the transaction being completed without generating a response. Developers must ensure that their operations are correctly aligned with the expectations set by the Transaction Manager.
Related Errors

- ERROR_TRANSACTION_ABORTED: Occurs when a transaction is aborted before completion.
- ERROR_TRANSACTION_NOT_JOINED: The caller attempted to join an unjoined transaction.
