About Resource Dispensers
• MTS (Microsoft transaction server) provides resource dispensers to recycle valuable system resources in a similar fashion to the way it recycle objects.
• For example on an ODBC connection. An ODBC resource dispenser recycles database connections.
• When an ODBC database connection is no longer required MTS just deactivates connection rather than close it. When a component requires an ODBC database connection, MTS will first try to assign a connection from its pool of deactivated connections. A new one is only established only when pool is empty.
