Specify transaction settings

Directory Server supports transactions, which allows a group of LDAP directory operations to be treated as one unit. For more information, see Transactions.

To configure your servers transaction settings, follow these steps:

1. Expand the Manage server properties category in the navigation area of the Web Administration Tool, select the Transactions tab.
2. Select the Enable transaction processing check box to enable transaction processing. If Enable transaction processing is disabled, all other options on this panel, such as Maximum number of operations per transaction and Pending time limit, are ignored by the server.
3. Set the Maximum number of transactions. Click either the Transactions or the Unlimited radio button. If you select Transactions, you need to specify in the field the maximum number of transactions. The maximum number of transactions is 2,147,483,647. The default setting is 20 transactions.
4. Set the Maximum number of operations per transaction. Click either the Operations or the Unlimited radio button. If you select Operations, you need to specify in the field the maximum number of operations allowed for each transaction. The maximum number of operations is 2,147,483,647. The smaller the number, the better the performance. The default is 5 operations.
5. Set the Pending time limit. This selection sets the maximum timeout value of a pending transaction in seconds. Click either the Seconds or the Unlimited radio button. If you select Seconds, you need to specify in the field the maximum number of seconds allowed for each transaction. The maximum number of seconds is 2,147,483,647. Transactions left uncompleted for longer than this time are cancelled (rolled back). The default is 300 seconds.
6. When you are finished, click Apply to save your changes without exiting, or click OK to apply your changes and exit, or click Cancel to exit this panel without making any changes.
7. If you have enabled transaction support, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect. If you were modifying only the settings, the server does not need to be restarted.
