				| Hello MQ inst/support forum users, 
 I have a bank customer using MQ client 8.0.0.8 for .NET (v4.6.01590) based apps as well as several "tighted" bank services and flows (i.e. SwiftLiveService, DCTHealthMonitor, etc) and reported distributed transaction issues (I have no more details but i can find more info if needed).
 There are apps creating many small transactions, other apps monitoring queues all the time and other apps having disitrbuted transactions such as: sql -> sql -> queue.
 
 Customer considers that  MQ client 8.0.0.8 doesn't subscribe to msdtc and ignores it..
 
 The question is whether by upgrading to MQ client 8.0.0.14 the distributed transaction problems will be eliminated..
 
 Pls notice that MQ build EoS defined at April 30th, 2020..
 
 I assume the utlimate goal would be to upgrade MQ client to v9.1.x, but I am wondering which might be the limitations or implications to the apps (i.e. .NET upgrade)..
 
 Any advise will be appreciated
 Cheers Nick.

 Since several apps are involved, developers should be engaged in order to outline the problem precisely.
 Cust. is not able to provide an accurate problem description (symptoms, errors, etc) for the moment, so I assume we can close this thread for now.
 
 Thanks for yout time and response.

				| It is not the client by itself that needs to subscribe to the msdtc. It is the .net code that must use the msdtc
 
 
  or whatever the correct way to do this in .NET is...

 |  And don't forget to set up MSDTC for XA transactions on the MQ Server box.
