MicroPipe Object

Ee799248.c++_off(en-US,CS.10).gifEe799248.vb_on(en-US,CS.10).gif

Use this object to run a single pipeline component from an Active Server Page (ASP) file without using a pipeline configuration file (.pcf).

ProgID:   Commerce.MicroPipe (Externally creatable)
COM Class Name:   CMicroPipeline
COM Interface Name:   IMicroPipeline
Interface ID Constant:   None
Header File:   None
Type Library Name:   Microsoft Commerce 2000 MicroPipe Type Library
DLL Name:   micropipe.dll
Threading Model:   Both

In C++, use the IMicroPipeline interface to access the properties and methods of the MicroPipe object.

Because this object is primarily intended for use within ASP script, access from C++ will not be common.

The methods of the MicroPipe object are shown in the following table.

Method Description
Execute Runs the component indicated in the SetComponent method.
SetComponent Indicates the pipeline component to load and execute.
SetLogFile Identifies the file in which to log pipeline events.

Remarks

The MicroPipe object does not explicitly use Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). To use transactions, mark the page as transacted or use the standard MtsTxPipline object. Distributed transactions have no meaning in the MicroPipe object because the object contains a single component.

Many pipeline components use configuration information in addition to the Context and Order dictionaries. Two common ways of passing this information to the component are:

  • To create a dictionary and pass the dictionary to the component.

  • To set individual or multiple properties directly.

The first method applies only to pipeline components that implement the IPipelineComponentAdmin interface. The second is common for components written in Microsoft Visual Basic, which usually do not implement the IPipelineComponentAdmin interface.
