Mark Wilkinson thought "Open Transact ... sounds ominous..."

Open Transact is the feature which allows database and file IDs
to be passed into Transact/iX from other languages or third party
packages.  This allows the  Transact program to use the same
databases and files used by the calling programs.  The IDs are
shared so both programs can share current record numbers,
entries, paths, etc.
