The Transaction Integrator Manager Console
Transaction Integrator is administered through the Transaction Integrator (TI) Manager management console. The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a framework for hosting administrative tools called snap-ins. In general, a console can contain tools, folders or other containers, World Wide Web pages, and other administrative items. These items are displayed in the left pane of the console, called a console tree. The MMC provides a single user interface for integrating various Microsoft and third-party management tools. You can create custom consoles combining your choice of the various registered snap-ins; for example, you might put the SNA Manager and Transaction Integrator snap-ins together in a single console.
The TI Manager management console consists of a left pane that displays the console tree and a right pane that displays the properties of the objects in the left pane. The topmost node in the console tree is the Console Root, and as you add snap-ins to the MMC they appear under the Console Root.
When you first open TI Manager, the console root has three major nodes (or snap-ins):
- Transaction Integrator. The Transaction Integrator node is the entry point to the TI Manager administrative tool.
- Component Services. The Component Services node is the entry point to the Component Services administrative tool. The Component Services administrative tool enables you to configure and administer COM components and COM+ applications, including installing and configuring COM+ applications, setting security at the application level, and creating and maintaining COM+ partitions. The Component Services administrative tool is designed both for system administrators and for application developers. For example, developers can configure routine component and application behavior, such as participation in transactions and object pooling.
- Internet Information Services. The Internet Information Services (IIS) node appears in the console only if IIS is installed on the computer. The Internet Information Services node is the entry point to the IIS administrative tool.
The Transaction Integrator node contains two major subnodes:
- Host-Initiated Processing. You can use the Host-Initiated Processing node to view the major elements used in host-initiated processing (HIP) environment.
- Windows-Initiated Processing. You can use the Windows-Initiated Processing node to view the major elements used in Windows-initiated processing (WIP) environment.
