COM\COM+ question

  • I just hope that someone in the DMO section is familiar with this issue.

    Our programmers wrote a COM module to access a database. Whenever they need to install an updated version of the COM module they have to stop the server, install the Com object, and restart the server. Not good for a production server. Does COM+ have the same limitation?

  • Yes, it is the registry entries that cause this. And once the file is in use the OS won't let it go until process using it stops. I have not seen any COM product that doesn't use the registry.

  • Is the COM module running in a sql job? If so try stoping the Sql Server Agent, upgrade the COM module then re-start Sql Server Agent
