The OrderPipleline object is included in Commerce Server 3.0 only for backward compatibility with sites created in Commerce Server 2.0. New sites should be constructed using MtsTxPipeline or MtsPipeline.
The OrderPipeline object creates and executes an order processing pipeline (OPP). The OrderPipeline pipeline is not registered under Microsoft® Transaction Server (MTS).
Commerce Server 3.0 provides three similar objects that execute pipeline configurations. These objects differ in the way they are registered with MTS (see MtsTxPipeline and MtsPipeline Overview).
The OrderPipeline object supports the following methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| LoadPipe | Loads a pipeline configuration (.pcf) file. |
| OrderExecute | Runs the stages in the pipeline. |
| SetLogFile | Identifies the file to which pipeline events are logged. |
