Pipeline Properties

  • Article

You use the Pipeline Properties dialog box to change the name of the pipeline, specify its transaction compatibility, currency mode, or save notes about the pipeline.

The following properties are available in the Pipeline Properties dialog box:

  • Label. Specifies the name that the Pipeline Editor displays for this pipeline. You can change the name by typing a new name.
  • Transaction Compatibility. Specifies what pipeline object this configuration file can be used with. The options are:
    • Any pipeline. Indicates that this configuration file can be used with an OrderPipeline object, with non-transacted pipeline objects (PooledPipeline, MtsPipeline), or with transacted pipeline objects (PooledTxPipeline, MtsTxPipeline).
    • Requires a transacted pipeline (MtsTxPipeline). Indicates that this configuration file can be used only with a transacted pipeline object (PooledTxPipeline, MtsTxPipeline). Transacted pipeline objects are registered with Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) as transactions required, and hold a transaction that spans all components in the pipeline.
    • Requires a non-transacted pipeline (MtsPipeline). Indicates that this configuration file can be used only with a non-transacted pipeline object (PooledPipeline, MtsPipeline, and OrderPipeline). Non-transacted pipeline objects are registered with MTS as transactions not supported.
  • Currency Mode. Determines how the pipeline handles currency values. The options are:
    • Currency and Integer (compatibility). Allows Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition, Commerce Server 2000, and Commerce Server 2002 components using currency values to be mixed in the pipeline. The Required components at the end of each stage maintain and update two sets of currency values — one set for Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition components and one set for Commerce Server 2002. Mixing Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition components and Commerce Server 2002 in the same stage requires using the MoneyConverter pipeline component.
    • Currency (high-precision). Uses the higher-precision currency type for all components in the pipeline. Requires that all components using monetary values be able to use the high precision currency values. In general, the names of these components end with the suffix "Cy."
  • Supply a currency LCID. Specifies a locale ID (LCID) for currency handling. The default value is zero (0), which uses the default locale ID of the server.
  • Supply the number of decimal places used for currency rounding. Determines how many digits of precision are held by a currency (for example, two digits are held for United States pennies). This value is used for default rounding processing, and to determine the scaling factor used in legacy currency keys. This property is active only if Currency (high precision) is specified for Currency Mode.
  • Description. An area for you to enter comments about this pipeline.
