Safe next steps
- For 6722 (ERROR_TRANSACTION_OBJECT_EXPIRED), record the transaction, resource manager and application operation that failed or remained pending.
- Review the service or application transaction logs and ask the responsible administrator or vendor to verify the intended state.
- Do not assume a hardware drive failure or delete transaction logs based on the code alone.
After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
