Configure transaction settings

To set transaction settings, do the following:

1. Expand the Manage server properties category in the navigation area of the Web administration tool, and then select the Transactions tab in the right pane.
2. Select the Enable transaction processing check box to enable transaction processing. If Enable transaction processing is disabled, all other options on this panel 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, specify 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, specify 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, specify 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 OK.
7. If you have enabled transaction support, restart the server for the changes to take effect. If you were modifying only the settings, the server does not need to be restarted.
