The Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) is essentially a transaction managing and processing system. The Microsoft Transaction Server operates in the middle tier. A transaction is a set of operations that are tracked as a group, and either complete successfully or fail in their operations as a single unit (a property sometimes called atomicity). MTS provides the means to roll back a failed transaction, supporting programmatic methods to monitor and correct for transactions failures.The MTS provides confirmed, asynchronous, transaction-based communication between applications, ensuring completion of an entire set of specified operations. The asynchronous operational model of MTS means that when a transaction is initiated by the client, it does not require an immediate response from the server for the sending application to continue its operations.
