How Is MTS Represented On A Server? 1

[Skittle]

Is MTS a program I need to run on my server all the time ( i.e. s strt---programs and run ) or is it embedded in dll's and called when required by ASP, VB etc?

Also, how can I tell if it is installed?

Hi Skittle,

MTS uses a Windows explorer style interface. It most commonly comes as part of the Windows NT option pack. You can check if it is installed by: Start menu->Programs->Administrator tools(I think!)->Windows NT options pack->MTS Explorer. I believe that it also comes as part of IIS.
I think that it comes with some IIS packages already installed so check these out to get an idea of what is happening.

Generally, MTS should be run on a server. A COM dll can be dragged and dropped into a new package that you have set up. Each interface exposed by your COM dll will then be shown as a separate component within the package.
You can then set the security and transaction properties for your package or individual components if required.

HTH, Andy

OK thanks.

I seems to have MTS functionality for ASP when using the
objectcontext.setabort or objectcontext.setcomplete with SQL Server.

Hopwever I do not have the eplorer style interface.
I am running XP Pro with IIS.
