Description |
|
Activate at Storage |
Select this check box to indicate that the distributed COM server resides on the same machine as its data. When a DCOM file is activated at storage, its objects are instantiated on the same machine as the data it uses, thereby reducing network traffic. Note that calling applications can override this default behavior with DCOM API functions. |
|
Run as Interactive User |
Select this check box to have the COM server run under the same account as the user currently logged onto the system. This option allows the server to be connected with the interactive desktop. Since COM servers that also run as services are not designed to run as the interactive user, this check box is disabled if you select the Run as a Win32 Service check box. |
|
Run as a Win32 Service |
Select this option if the distributed COM .exe file is intended to run as a service. When this option is selected, you should provide the name of the service and any parameters it takes. Note:If you indicated—in the COM Server Executable panel—that this file runs as a service, the next panel displayed is the Service Executable panel, in which you must enter information about this file’s services. |
|
Service Name |
Enter the name of the service. |
|
Service Parameters |
Enter the parameters you want passed to the service when it is launched. |
