Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM)Added on:10/2/2008 2:00:40 AM
In Windows Vista Tips Rated by 1 users
- A new piece of Vista is the Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM), which enables Vista to use transactions. Keep in mind that this entire feature is a developer feature. Yes, it protects the end user from pain, but the KTM allows developers to create installation code that requires the completion of the entire transaction because otherwise a rollback process will be kicked off and the entire process will be reversed (called an atomicity or atomic transaction).
- The KTM does this for both NTFS and the Registry. It can retrace the steps that have been completed and undo them on both ends to reverse portions that have completed.
