How to Configure the Scriptor Component

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This topic describes how to configure the Scriptor component. You use the Scriptor component to insert code modules into a pipeline. The script run by the Scriptor component can be stored internally, as part of a pipeline configuration file (.pcf), or externally, in a separate file called by the component when it runs.

You can write a general-purpose script that can behave differently depending on the parameters that are passed to it. Save the script itself in a file, and then configure the Scriptor component to pass the parameters.

The Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) context is not available to a Scriptor component or to any components called by a Scriptor, that is, context.SetComplete and context.SetAbort are not available to scripts hosted by the Scriptor component.
