Locking Your MTS Package

After you have developed, installed, or deployed your application, consider locking your package so component configuration cannot be modified. You can lock your package before exporting a server application to another MTS computer that is maintained by a system or Web administrator, or before you distribute a server application to customers.

You can lock your package against:

• Changes

This setting ensures that administrators cannot modify package configuration without disabling the lock.

• Deletions

This setting ensures that administrators cannot delete a package without disabling the lock.

To lock your package

1. Once you have finished configuring your package, select the Advanced tab in the package property sheets.
2. In the Permissions section of the Advanced property sheet, select either the Disable deletion option (which prohibits users from deleting the package) or the Disable changes option (which blocks users from making any changes to the package properties.

You can unlock a package by clearing the Advanced property sheet check-boxes.
