Both the TP process and the DTS daemon must run on the same system. The TP process must be started up under the login context of the machine's principal, which has root privileges. The DTS daemon and the TP process are started independently. However, before starting the TP process, ensure that dced is running on the system. If it is not running, start it. The TP process can always exit without affecting the DTS daemon. DTS dynamically reestablishes communications with the TP process when it creates binding handles.
