SendDCOM

The SendDCOM component uses Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) to create an instance of a ReceiveDCOM.exe or ReceiveDCOM2.dll component on a remote Commerce Server computer. The remote DCOM component creates an MtsTxPipeline or MtsPipeline object, and then uses that object to load and execute the specified pipeline on the business data object.

• Machine Name. Specifies the name of the remote computer on which to create an instance of ReceiveDCOM.exe or ReceiveDCOM2.dll.
• From Field. Specifies the name of the field on the Transport Dictionary from which the SendDCOM component reads the data to be sent. The data stored in the field specified in From Field must be serialized data; it cannot be an object. When the receiving DCOM component is instantiated, it creates a Dictionary object and writes the data in the specified From Field to this remote Transport Dictionary.
• To Field. Specifies the name of the field on the remote Transport Dictionary to which the component writes the data.
• PCF File Name. Specifies the name of the pipeline configuration file on the remote computer.
• Transacted Pipe. If this check box is selected, the remote component creates an instance of the MtsTxPipeline object, which is registered under Microsoft® Transaction Server (MTS) as transactions required. If this check box is not selected, the component creates an instance of the MtsPipeline object, which is registered under MTS as transactions not supported.
• MTS Hosted Receive Component. This check box determines whether the ReceiveDCOM component should run in its own address space (as an executable) or as an in-process server under MTS. If this check box is cleared, the SendDCOM component creates an instance of ReceiveDCOM.exe. If this check box is selected, the SendDCOM component loads the ReceiveDCOM2.dll into MTS, then each subsequent send from SendDCOM creates an instance of the ReceiveDCOM2 object.

  Note  After being created, ReceiveDCOM.exe waits for input from the SendDCOM component. If the SendDCOM component is terminated on the sending computer, the ReceiveDCOM.exe times out after five minutes.
