WS-AtomicTransaction Configuration Utility (wsatConfig.exe)

The WS-AtomicTransaction Configuration Utility is used to configure basic WS-AtomicTransaction support settings.

Syntax

wsatConfig [Options]  

Remarks

This command-line tool can be used to configure basic WS-AT settings in a local machine only. If you have to configure settings on both local and remote machines, you should use the MMC snap-in as described in Configuring WS-Atomic Transaction Support.

The command-line tool can be found in the Windows SDK installation location:

%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\wsatConfig.exe

The following table shows the options that can be used with WS-AtomicTransaction Configuration Utility (wsatConfig.exe).

Note

When you set an SSL certificate for a selected port, you overwrite the original SSL certificate associated with that port if one exists.

-accountsCerts:<thumb>|"Issuer\SubjectName",> Specifies a comma-separated list of certificates that can participate in WS-AtomicTransaction. The certificates are indicated by thumbprint or by the Issuer\SubjectName pair. Use {EMPTY} for subject name if it is empty.
