The transaction options object contains transaction attribute information such as the time-out for the transaction and the name of the transactions. The transaction options object is passed as a parameter to the ITransactionDispenser::BeginTransaction method when creating a new transaction. The transaction attributes contained in the transaction options object are inherited by the newly created transaction object.
| Origin: | An application program or resource manager creates a transaction options object by calling the ITransactionDispenser::GetOptionsObject method. This is typically done during program initialization. |
| Occurrences: | One instance of the transaction options object is present for each call to the ITransactionDispenser::GetOptionsObject method. Typically an application program or resource manager will create one or two transaction options objects. However, a program may create as many transaction options objects as it chooses. |
| Duration: | The transaction options object normally exists for the life of the program. It should be released at the completion of the program. |
| Interfaces: | IUnknown ITransactionOptions |
