All components installed in a Sybase EAServer system share the same transaction coordinator.

EAServer 3.0 and later offer a choice of transaction coordinators. You must use DTC as the transaction coordinator if you are including SQL Anywhere in the transactions. This section describes how to configure EAServer 3.0 to use DTC as its transaction coordinator.

The component server in EAServer is named Jaguar.

To configure an EAServer to use the Microsoft DTC transaction model

1. Ensure that your Jaguar server is running.

   On Windows, the Jaguar server commonly runs as a service. To manually start the installed Jaguar server that is included with EAServer 3.0, choose Start » Programs » Sybase » EAServer » EAServer.

2. Start Jaguar Manager.

   From the Windows desktop, choose Start » Programs » Sybase » EAServer » Jaguar Manager.

3. Connect to the Jaguar server from Jaguar Manager.

   From Sybase Central, choose Tools » Connect » Jaguar Manager. In the connection window, enter jagadmin as the User Name, leave the Password field blank, and enter a Host Name of localhost. Click OK to connect.

4. Set the transaction model for the Jaguar server.

   In the left pane, open the Servers folder. In the right pane, right-click the server you want to configure, and choose Server Properties. Click the Transactions tab, and choose Microsoft DTC as the transaction model. Click OK to complete the operation.
