Distributed Transaction Error Fisrt Time Only

[electric]

I get a distributed transaction error the first time I call my MTS components after that they create just fine. Does anyone has any idea or have seen this before?

Does the DTC is active? You can know it by right-click the computer in MTS explorer.

Hope this helps you!

Yes the DTC is active. The error is very strange because it just happens the first time the onbject is called after that it works fine.

Is the MSDTC service started properly and authenticated properly when you use it the first time?

What do you mean by authenticated properly?

could it be a time-out ? its been quite a well known problem that MTS is slow in serving its very first component activation.

we've worked around this by:
1. lengthening the time-out in MTS and IIS
2. unsetting the time-out for idling components
3. have a refresh meta definition in our IIS ASP that activates the MTS component every 2 minutes

hope its useful
