The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, on platform(s):
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you are using a third party 5250 print emulation product over SNA Server and
the print emulator is stopped, or the client-server LAN session is lost, the
AS/400 printer LU session is not cleaned up properly. As a result, 5250 print
emulation product cannot reconnect to the AS/400 printing device.
CAUSE
=====
When the 5250 print emulator is stopped, a Deallocate(ABEND) negative response
is generated. If the LU6.2 session is in a receive state, the response cannot be
sent (according to LU6.2 protocol).
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem in SNA Server version 2.1, install the SNA Server 2.1
SNA Server service update (NODEUP.ZIP) located on the following electronic
services:
- On the Internet, the file is located on the Microsoft anonymous ftp server
(ftp.microsoft.com). To download NODEUP.ZIP, change to the following
directory:
\bussys\winnt\sna-unsup-ed\fixes\nodeup
The NODEUP.ZIP file must be uncompressed using PKZIP 2.04g or later, using the
following command:
pkunzip -d nodeup.zip
A README file is included and describes how to install the update.
There is no update available for SNA Server 2.0.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in SNA Server 2.11.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If the application ends or the SNA Server client-server LAN session is lost, SNA
Server (with the SNA Server 2.1 SNA Server service update installed) treats this
condition as though the transaction program (TP) issued a TP_ENDED(HARD). The
session unbinds immediately instead of trying to deallocate the conversation.
