How to Start TI Manager

  • Article

You can start TI (Transaction Integrator) Manager many different ways:

  • Use the Start menu

  • Start Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and then add the appropriate snap-in consoles

  • Double-click a saved MMC configuration file (.msc file)

  • Enter a command line at a command prompt

  • Use the Run command on the Start menu

    You can also start TI Manager from MMC. Then you can save your MMC configuration as an .msc file, so that later you can just double-click the .msc file to start it. This technique can be useful when you are adding other snap-ins to MMC in addition to the TI Manager snap-ins.

To start TI Manager from the Start menu

  • Click Start, point to Programs, point to Host Integration Server, point to Application Integration, and then click TI Manager.

To start TI Manager from MMC

  1. Start MMC by doing one of the following:

    1. Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.

    2. Type mmc at a command prompt, and then press ENTER.

  2. On the Console menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.

  3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, click Add.

  4. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, double-click TI Manager.

  5. In the Specify machine to administer dialog box, click Local computer.

  6. Click Finish.

  7. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, double-click Component Services (or Microsoft Transaction Server).

  8. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, click Close.

  9. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, click OK.

    If you save the configuration as, for example, MyCOMTI.msc, you can run it again later by double-clicking the file name.

Starting TI Manager from the Command Line

You can also start TI Manager from a command line. Include the path and file name of the .msc file when you use the Run command or from a command prompt. Microsoft has included two .msc files (ComtiComPlus.msc and ComtiMTS.msc) for you in the Host Integration Server\System folder. The following procedure is an example.

If you previously added TI Manager to a remote computer, you can use the command line to start TI Manager for the remote computer if you know the name of that computer. However, you must have enabled the following option at the time that you added the console for the remote computer: Allow the selected computer to be changed when launching from the command line. For example, if you created a file named MyOtherCOMTI.msc on another computer in a Windows network, you can run it on your local computer by using the following procedure.

To start a remote TI Manager from the command line

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. Type the following:

    MMC "C:\Program Files\Host Integration Server\System\MyOtherCOMTI.msc" /computer=computername

  3. Click OK.

    Adding the /computer=computername option lets you configure and otherwise manage all your TI environments from a single computer.
