Entity Framework & TransactionScope error

[peha123]

Hello,
I'm connecting to Oracle 11g using EntityFramework. After envolving TransactionScope usage upon existing functional code, I frequently obtain folowing exception:

Message:
"Network error:: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"
ErrorCode:-2147467259
StackTrace:

at System.Data.Mapping.Update.Internal.UpdateTranslator.Update(IEntityStateManager stateManager, IEntityAdapter adapter)

The error occurres after several ObjectContext.SaveChanges() calls, all inside the same ObjectContext and TransactionScope.

Any ideas?
Thanks for advance.

Our implementation of the TransactionScope support has the following limitation (applied to the Direct mode only): we don't support two-phase commit mechanism, only simultaneous commit in several connections is implemented. So a particular table in your database was locked after the first SaveChanges(). And if the consequent SaveChanges() in the boundaries of your TransactionScope will try to affect the locked table, the application will become unstable (the second SaveChanges() will wait releasing the lock made by the first SaveChanges()). If such scenario happens, the application will not respond until CommandTimeout elapsed. Different versions of dotConnect for Oracle have different default value of CommandTimeout: it was 30 seconds in earlier versions, and it is 0 (unlimited) in the latest 5.35.79 version.
