You can use the MTS Explorer Status View and Property View settings to monitor the status and properties of active packages and their components. You can view the status or properties of items in the Explorer by selecting the item and then clicking the Status View or Property View button in the MTS Explorer toolbar.
The Status View lets you see the status of computers, packages, and components in the Explorer. For example, Status View for the Computers folder indicates if Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has been started, while Status View for the Packages Installed folder indicates which package is running. Status View for components in a package allows you to see the componentÆs programmatic identifier (progID), objects activated, and the objects in call. You can use the Status View to quickly see the status of computers and application processes that you are managing.

Note Status View does not display the status of the Utilities and System packages.
Use the Property View to quickly gather information about the properties of packages and components. For example, the property view for components displays the componentÆs ProgID, transaction setting, dynamic-link library (DLL) location, class ID (CLSID), threading model, and security authorization settings. For example, you can use the Property View to quickly view the transaction properties for all components in a package.
