Using Web Administration

If you have not done so already, click Server administration in the Web Administration navigation area and then click Manage server properties in the expanded list. Next, click the Transactions tab.

1. 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.
2. 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 oftransactions is 2,147,483,647. The default setting is 20 transactions.
3. 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 per transaction is 500. The smaller the number, the better the performance. The default is 5 operations.
4. Under Timeout between prepare and commit, select either Seconds or Unlimited. If you select Seconds, you must specify in the field the maximum number of seconds allowed between a prepare and commit transaction operation.
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 ofseconds 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.
