COMTI can parse a TP's source code, create COM interfaces and methods (with appropriate OLE data types), and register a component with an MTS package. After the component is under the umbrella of MTS, it can be used throughout a distributed environment. In addition, the Component Builder can specify transactional and mainframe region properties, too.

It's important to note, however, that although the Component Builder is an essential tool for developing mainframe components for COMTI, all its features can be carried out manually using standard COM tools such as the MIDL compiler, OLE View, and ...
