Oh, btw., the associated Windows error code is 6719, and the english
error message is this:

  The object specified could not be created or opened, because its
  associated TransactionManager is not online.  The TransactionManager
  must be brought fully Online by calling RecoverTransactionManager to
  recover to the end of its LogFile before objects in its Transaction or
  ResourceManager namespaces can be opened.  In addition, errors in
  writing records to its LogFile can cause a TransactionManager to go
  offline.
