| Platform SDK: Transaction Server |
[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]
The Options tab is used to set the computer's transaction timeout property and replication information.
The transaction timeout value is measured in seconds and indicates the maximum time period that transactions started on this computer can remain active. Transactions that remain active beyond the specified time are automatically aborted by the system. The default value is 60 seconds. You can disable transaction timeouts by specifying the value 0; this setting is particularly useful when debugging MTS applications.
Use the Replication section of the Options tab to provide replication information for your MTS computer. In the Replication share box, enter the name of your Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) virtual server name to ensure failover support. You cannot replicate an MTS catalog on a Windows 98 computer.
You can also specify a computer that you want your client executables to access. Enter the name of the physical server for your clients to access in the Remote server name box before you generate the application executable. If this string is blank or empty, the physical computer name of the exporting computer will be used. If you put the name of the remote server as the string, the application executable generated by the MTS Explorer will point to that remote server name.
