If you want to disable the GTXn background processes, then you must set GLOBAL_TXN_PROCESSES to 0 in your parameter file. Setting this parameter to 0 will disable the XA support on an Oracle RAC database. Error ORA-55712 will be returned if you try to run XA transactions on an Oracle RAC database with this parameter set to zer0. You can change the setting to a nonzero value at run time to turn on the support for XA.
GLOBAL_TXN_PROCESSES is useful for systems that process global (XA) transactions heavily. You do not need to specify a value for this parameter since Oracle Database automatically determines the number of processes and autotunes them, as necessary. GTXn background processes are only seen in an Oracle RAC environment.
