Module 4: Managing Transactions and State iii Instructor Notes This module describes transactions and related concepts and issues. Students learn to activate and deactivate components by using Just In Time (JIT) Activation and As Soon As Possible (ASAP) deactivation. They will learn to use the Shared Property Manager (SPM) to manage state. This module also covers best programming practices to increase application scalability and efficiency. After completing this module, students will be able to: ! Use the context object to retrieve information about a COM+ component. ! Add transaction support for COM+ components by using the Component Services tool. ! Enable JIT Activation for COM+ components. ! Create COM+ components that support and manage distributed transactions. ! Use the SPM to manage the application data referred to as state. ! Describe some of the best practices when managing transactions and state. In the first two labs, students will learn how to use the context object services to retrieve information about the context object and to manage transactions. In the third lab, students will use the Shared Property Manager to store state in the middle tier of the Purchase Order Online application. Materials and Preparation This section provides you with the required materials and preparation tasks that are needed to teach this module.

Lab 4.1: Using Context Object Services ! Lab 4.2: Managing Transactions ! Lab 4.3: Storing State in the Middle Tier Preparation Tasks To prepare for this module, you should: ! Read all of the materials for this module. ! Complete the labs. ! Read the instructor notes and the margin notes for the module. Presentation: 135 Minutes Lab: 90 Minutes iv Module 4: Managing Transactions and State Module Strategy Use the following strategy to present this module: ! COM+ Context Discuss the concept of an object’s context and how each COM+ object is created with an associated context. For components that do not use COM+ services, the context is largely ignored. However, for components running inside COM+ applications, contexts are the foundation on which COM+ services are provided. The context object information is exposed through several interfaces on the ObjectContext object. ! Just In Time Activation Discuss how JIT Activation is used to create an object when a COM+ component is instantiated. JIT Activation helps make COM+ solutions scalable by activating objects as they are required and by preventing idle objects from consuming valuable resources on the server. ! Managing Transactions Discuss how transactions can be managed automatically by using COM+ services. Describe the purpose of transactions in an enterprise solution. Transactions are required to maintain data integrity and to synchronize updates to data in multiple data sources. ! Programming COM+ Transactions Explain that sometimes developers need to control transactions programmatically even though they can be managed declaratively through COM+ services. The main reason for programming COM+ transactions is to gain a greater degree of control over the process. For example, a component may enforce a business rule that causes a transaction to abort if certain conditions arise, such as a balance transfer exceeding a specified maximum amount. Discuss the context object interfaces and how they are used to program COM+ transactions. ! Managing State Discuss that state refers to the data used within the business processes of an application. When building enterprise solutions, managing state is a major design concern. Explain that components can be stateful or stateless, and discuss the implications on component design resulting from state. ! Using the Shared Property Manager Discuss how the SPM is a resource dispenser provided by COM+ to store transient shared data in a COM+ application. The SPM allows you to retain global data between component activations and share it among all component instances in the COM+ application process. ! Best Practices Summarize all the best practices taught in the module. Module 4: Managing Transactions and State v Demonstration This section provides demonstration procedures that will not fit in the margin notes or that are not appropriate for the student notes. Using the ObjectControl Interface ! Explain the demonstration scenario • The demonstration scenario is based on the Northwind database. A COM+ application is used to discontinue products that are no longer available. The client application calls a component named Traders, which invokes its DiscontinueProduct method. The Traders component calls a component named EventLog, invoking its LogEvent method to record the name of the user discontinuing the product. Next, Traders calls a component named Product, which invokes its Discontinue method to update the Products table. If an error occurs, Traders calls a component named ErrorLog, invoking its LogError method to record the error information and the ActivityID of the COM+ activity. ! Run the test client 1. Run the NwindClient.exe client application from the <install folder>\Democode\Mod04\NorthwindClient folder. 2. Enter a number below 100 and click Discontinue. A message will confirm the discontinued product. 3. Enter a number over 200 and click Discontinue. An error message will be displayed. ! Examine the database 1. Start Enterprise Manager from the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 program group. 2. Expand the nodes in the Tree pane to view the tables in the Northwind database. 3. View the contents of the EventLog table and note the name of the user recorded there by the Traders component. 4. View the contents of the ErrorLog table and note the ActivityID recorded there by the Traders component. ! Examine the component code 1. Open Northwind.vbp in the <install folder>\Democode\Mod04\NorthwindComponent folder. 2. Display the code for the Traders class and examine the DiscontinueProduct method. 3. Under the comment Declare Object Context variable, add the following variable declaration: Dim objCtx As COMSVCSLib.ObjectContext vi Module 4: Managing Transactions and State 4. Under the comment Get a reference to the Object Context, add the following code: Set objCtx = COMSVCSLib.GetObjectContext 5. Point out the following line of code: strUser = "Graeme" 'Get name from ISecurityProperty 6. Change this line to the following: strUser = objCtx.Security.GetOriginalCallerName 7. Point out the following line of code in the error handler: strActivity = "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" 8. Change the code to: strActivity = objCtx.ContextInfo.GetActivityID 9. Save and recompile the component (you may need to shut down the Northwind COM+ application) and close Microsoft Visual Basic. ! Run the test client 1. Run the NwindClient.exe client application from the <install folder>\Democode\Mod04\NorthwindClient folder. 2. Enter a number below 100 and click Discontinue. A message will confirm the discontinued product. 3. Enter a number over 200 and click Discontinue. An error message will be displayed. ! Examine the database 1. Start Enterprise Manager from the SQL Server 7.0 program group. 2. Expand the nodes in the Tree pane to view the tables in the Northwind database. 3. View the contents of the EventLog table and note the name of the user recorded there by the Traders component. 4. View the contents of the ErrorLog table and note the ActivityID recorded there by the Traders component. Managing Transactions ! To prepare for the demonstration ! Ensure the SetupDemos.cmd file has been executed as previously described. ! Run the test client 1. Run the NwindClient.exe client application from the <install folder>\Democode\Mod04\NorthwindClient folder. 2. Enter a number below 100 and click Discontinue. A message will confirm the discontinued product. 3. Enter a number over 200 and click Discontinue. An error message will be displayed. Module 4: Managing Transactions and State vii ! Examine the database 1. Start Enterprise Manager from the SQL Server 7.0 program group. 2. Expand the nodes in the Tree pane to view the tables in the Northwind database. 3. View the contents of the EventLog table and note that events have been recorded for product updates that did not take place. Explain that the reason is that the business process is not atomic. ! Configure the COM+ components 1. Open the Component Services administration tool and display the properties of the components in the Northwind application. 2. Point out that the Traders component does not support transactions. Change its Transaction support attribute to Required. 3. Ask students to explain why the Transaction support property of the ErrorLog component is set to Requires New. 4. Shut down the Northwind application and close Component Services. ! Add code to commit or abort the transaction 1. Open Northwind.vbp in the <install folder>\Democode\Mod04\NorthwindComponent folder. 2. Display the code for the Traders class and examine the DiscontinueProduct method. 3. Add the following line of code under the comment Commit Transaction: objCtx.SetComplete 4. Add the following line of code under the comment Abort Transaction: objCtx.SetAbort 5. Save and recompile the project and close Visual Basic. ! Run the test client 1. Run the NwindClient.exe client application from the <install folder>\Democode\Mod04\NorthwindClient folder. 2. Enter a number below 100 and click Discontinue.
