There is a single function. In your case you would call dba.distributed_transaction_commit(dba,dbb)
or try: dba.distributed_transaction_commit(dba,dbb) except: session.flash="distributed transaction failed and rolled back" I have not tried this in some time but when I tried worked fine. postgresql only.
