Transaction Tab (Component)

[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]

The Transaction tab determines how a component supports transactions.

• Requires a transaction  — This indicates that the component's objects must execute within the scope of a transaction. When a new object is created, its object context inherits the transaction from the context of the client. If the client does not have a transaction, MTS automatically creates a new transaction for the object.
• Requires a new transaction  — This indicates that the component's objects must execute within their own transactions. When a new object is created, MTS automatically creates a new transaction for the object, regardless of whether its client has a transaction.
• Supports transactions  — This indicates that the component's objects can execute within the scope of their client's transactions. When a new object is created, its object context inherits the transaction from the context of the client. If the client does not have a transaction, the new context is also created without one.
• Does not support transactions  — This indicates that the component's objects should not run within the scope of transactions. When a new object is created, its object context is created without a transaction, regardless of whether the client has a transaction.
