MariaDB Error 1398: Invalid XA Transaction Arguments
Description
This error, XAER_INVAL, indicates that an XA (eXtended Architecture) transaction command was issued with invalid arguments or that the command itself is not supported. It typically occurs in distributed transaction environments when the transaction manager attempts to interact with MariaDB using incorrect syntax, an unknown transaction identifier (XID), or an unsupported XA function.
