Fault Isolation

Process isolation limits the effects of a crash to the single application that caused it. In addition to protecting your server from the crash, the application can be configured to restart automatically. In the case of a fatal error, the application’s process is automatically terminated. Because the application is running in the Component Services system process, all transactions in progress are aborted. The Windows® Event Log stores a record of the event, and Component Services restarts the application. The only ones affected by the failure are clients with outstanding requests to that specific application.
