3.3.4.1 Parameters to Modify

Three parameters in the INTERFACES section are particularly related to distributed transaction processing (DTP): FACTORYROUTING, AUTOTRAN, and TRANTIME.

The following table describes the parameters in the INTERFACES section.

Table 3-4 Parameters Specified in the INTERFACES Section

Parameter	Meaning
FACTORYROUTING = criterion-name	Specifies the name of the routing criteria to be used for factory-based routing for this Oracle Tuxedo CORBA interface. You must specify a FACTORYROUTING parameter for interfaces requesting factory-based routing.
AUTOTRAN	Determines whether a transaction should be started automatically if a message received by this interface is not already in transaction mode. The default is N. Use of this parameter should be coordinated with the programmers that code the interface for your application so that it matches the setting of the transaction policy option in the application’s ICF file.
TRANTIME	Specifies a timeout value, in seconds, for transactions automatically started in this interface. The default is 30 seconds. Required only if AUTOTRAN=Y and a timeout value other than the default is required.
LOAD = number	Specifies an arbitrary number between 1 and 100 that represents the relative load that the CORBA interface is expected to impose on the system. The numbering scheme is relative to the LOAD numbers assigned to other CORBA interfaces used by this application. The default is 50. This number is used by the Oracle Tuxedo system to select the best server to which to route the request
