transaction table (???)

I have an old server here, NT with OWS 3.0.1.1. on it. We are upgrading to iAS 1.0.2. soon...

In the meantime, we now have a conflict on the server, a PL/SQL cartridge application is causing errors - the transaction table is full.

        ORA-02042 too many distributed transactions 
        Cause: the distributed transaction table is full, because too many
distributed transactions are active. 
        Action: increase the init.ora "distributed_transactions" or run
fewer transactions. If you are sure you don't have too many concurrent distributed transactions, this indicates an internal error and support should be notified. Instance shutdown/restart would be a work-around.

The developer hadn't SET TRANSACTION READ ONLY before doing remote queries, but that has been fixed I have been told. Meanwhile I increased the distributed_transactions parameter on the Oracle 7.3.4.5.2. database from the default of 16 to 64. We are still seeing that error.

Where can I see what is in this distributed transactions table? I checked the dba_2pc_ views and they are empty. I also checked the dba_db_links views, but couldn't see anything extraordinary there either.

Any ideas?

I am going to search on Metalink again, in case there is something buried in the old technical notes...
