Transaction Control Manager Service
The Transaction Control Manager is a service that controls and executes
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager transactions contained in a configuration,
but with the additional functionality of the FactoryTalk Live Data control
connector embedded in it. In an edit enabled configuration, the Transaction
Control Manager replaces the separate FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
and control connector services.
Configuration Server
The Configuration Server is a Microsoft Windows 2003/XP/Vista/2008 R2
service that runs continuously to provide a single interface to the
configuration (.dat) files that make up the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration. The Configuration Server simplifies access to configuration
files by filtering all changes to the files and interfacing with other
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager services. A collection of all changes that
affect a configuration are recorded in an audit trail (via either FactoryTalk
Diagnostics or the Configuration Server *.log file).
Since the service is always running, functions such as configuration
diagnostics and remote file browsing are easier. One benefit of the
Configuration Server is consolidated file access. The Configuration Server
is the focal point for all interaction with, and manipulation of, the
configuration files.
