Undocumented COMTI Methods Are Exposed (220945)

SUMMARY

When a COM Transaction Integrator (COMTI) component has been successfully registered with Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), you can see two additional interface methods when you view the COMTI object methods within the MTS adminstration tool. The two methods are ServerPid() and LastSM(). These methods are not intended to be used by developers and are unsupported.

MORE INFORMATION

The Interface Definition Language (IDL) infomation below depicts the built-in properties that are inherited for all COMTI objects.

/ 
[id(0x7fffffff), propget, hidden]
long ServerPID();

[id(0x7ffffffe), propget, hidden]
long LastSM();

[id(0x7ffffffd), propget, helpstring("Current status of the remote environment")]
BSTR REStatus();

[id(0x7ffffffc), propget, helpstring("Build a new Recordset object")]
IDispatch *NewRecordset(BSTR name);

//[id(0x7ffffffb), propget, helpstring("Explicit selection of the remote RE")]
//BSTR CurrentRE();

[id(0x7ffffffb), propput]
void SelectionHint(BSTR rhs);

//[id(0x7ffffffa), propget, helpstring("Collection of compatible REs")]
//IUnknown *RECollection();

The two undocumented functions have an associated "hidden" attribute and should not be displayed in most object browsers. However, certain object browsers may disregard the attribute and display the properties anyway.
