This chapter describes Oracle8i database integration with Microsoft Transaction Server. This integration enables developers to:
Microsoft Transaction Server is a proprietary COM-based transaction processing system that runs on an Internet or network server. Microsoft Transaction Server is used to deploy and manage application and database transaction requests on behalf of a client computer. Microsoft Transaction Server:
Microsoft Transaction Server is a component of the three-tiered,
server-centric architecture model. This enables the presentation, business
logic, and data elements of applications to be clearly separated onto different
computers connected in a network.
See Microsoft's documentation for additional Microsoft Transaction
Server information.
Without any special integration, you can deploy a COM component in Microsoft Transaction Server that connects to an Oracle8i database. However, if you want either of the following:
you need to install Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server. Once this product is installed, you create a special Windows NT service (referred to as an Oracle Service for MTS) for each Oracle8i database to which your COM component connects. Use the Oracle Manager for MTS Services snap-in located in the Microsoft Management Console Explorer to create and manage these services. The Oracle Service for MTS:
The COM component can be created using the Oracle Call Interface
(OCI), Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O), or Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
Additional application program interfaces (APIs) may be integrated in the
future. For a given Oracle8i database, you only need one Oracle
Service for MTS on the network.

Oracle8i database integration:
