Increasing the Transaction Timeout Parameter on Windows 2000

If transaction requests are timing out before completing, the transaction timeout parameter may be set too low. Increase the transaction timeout parameter to ensure that transactions have enough time to complete.

To increase the transaction timeout parameter on Windows 2000:

  1. Go to the Windows 2000 computer on which Microsoft Transaction Server is installed.

  2. Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Component Services.

    The Microsoft Management Console appears.

  3. Double-click Console Root in the Microsoft Management Console Explorer window.

  4. Double-click Microsoft Transaction Server.

  5. Double-click Computers.

  6. Right-click My Computer.

    A menu appears with several options.

  7. Choose Properties.

    The My Computer Properties dialog box appears.

  8. Choose the Options tab.

  9. Enter a value in the Transaction Timeout field and click OK.

    The transaction timeout value is increased. For most environments, 60 seconds may be enough. However, if the transaction is competing with numerous concurrent transactions, this value may be too low.
