Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) is configured using the MTS Explorer snap-in, a graphical management tool used to deploy and manage solutions across a network. MTS Explorer provides developers and administrators with a complete view of all the components deployed within a solution.

To open Microsoft Transaction Server snap-in

1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, Microsoft Internet Information Server, Microsoft Transaction Server, and then click Transaction Server Explorer.
2. The Microsoft Transaction Server snap-in opens in Microsoft Management Console.
3. The Microsoft Transaction Server Explorer includes point and click wizards for assembling and configuring a solution from pre-built packages and components. A package is a set of components that perform related application functions.

These wizards include:

• Package Wizard. To create packages.
• Component Wizard. To add components to a package. The wizard either lists all components already registered in the system, or enables the administrator to register new components.
• Add Server Wizard. To .export a package to a remote server, dynamically adding servers to a distributed solution.
• Add Clients Wizard. To add client systems to a distributed solution.
• Configure Wizard. To set the transactional properties of components deployed within a package.
• Security Wizard. To configure the security attributes of components and packages.

The Microsoft Transaction Server Explorer includes the following GUI utilities:

1. Transaction Lists. To list the properties of the running transactions.
2. Transaction Statistics. To track transaction performance.
3. Trace Messages. To view trace messages.

The following is an example of a standard transaction that occurs in the banking industry.

Architecture

The bank application consists of four components:

1. Account. Uses ODBC calls to modify an account record in a single database.
2. MoveMoney. Performs debit, credit, and transfer operations against different bank databases.
3. Receipt. Generates a unique ED number for each bank transaction.
4. UpdateReceipt. Allocates ranges of unique ED numbers for receipts.

Transaction

This is an example of a simple application getting all of the benefits of a sophisticated, high-end server infrastructure—including transactions, location transparency, thread and process management, and database connection pooling—through integration with Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS).

• The client initiates a bank transaction by invoking MoveMoney.
• MoveMoney invokes an Account component for each database that it needs to modify. MoveMoney‘also invokes the Receipt component for each bank transaction.
• MTS makes sure that the work of all these components executes as a single unit (or transaction), even though these are different components that could be written in different languages.
  Each one of these components is built as a simple, single-user ActiveX component, yet executes as “multiuser” through MTS thread and process management services.
• The Account Components access the SQL Server database via MTS ODBC resource dispensers, a mechanism for high-performance database access.
