Using Property Sheets in the MTS Explorer

Package and component property sheets allow you to change the configuration of MTS packages. For example, if you would like to change the transaction property for a component, you can modify the component property sheet for transaction settings. Before you re-configure a specific property setting, review the Creating MTS Packages and Installing MTS Packages topics for descriptions and procedures on setting different properties in the MTS Explorer.

Packages can be locked against modification or deletion of the package and its components. If a package has been locked during installation or deployment, you will have to unlock the package before modifying component properties. For more information about locking, see Locking Your MTS Package .

To configure package and application properties using property pages

Right-click the item whose properties you want to set. You can also select the item in the left pane of the MTS Explorer and choose Properties from the Action menu.
Modify the appropriate property sheet and click either OK or Apply.
Refresh all components of My Computer by selecting the My Computer icon and choosing Refresh all components from the Action menu. You can also refresh individual packages by selecting the Packages Installed folder and clicking the Refresh icon on the MTS toolbar in the right pane of the MTS Explorer.

Note If you change the activation level of your package, you have to shut down that package process before the change will take effect. You can shut down the package process by right-clicking the package and choosing the Shut down option.
