The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
An attempt to reestablish a disconnected session may fail unless the connection
is stopped and restarted.
CAUSE
=====
SNA Server does not correlate Host SSCP responses to the original SSCP request
if the response is unexpected.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server version
4.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q215838 How to Obtain the Latest SNA Server Version 4.0 Service Pack
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server, versions
4.0, 4.0SP1, 4.0SP2. This problem was first corrected in SNA Server version 4.0
Service Pack 3.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The symptoms described above can only be seen when the Host is sending an
unexpected response.
In the case reported, the message flow looks as follows:
Host SNA Server
===================================
ACTLU RQD ->
<- ACTLU +RSP
<- NOTIFY SLU enabled
INITSELF -RSP ->
with sense code 0857 0002, SSCP - PLU session not active
NOTIFY +RSP ->
The message flow shows that the Host is sending an INITSELF -RSP in error, which
is unexpected as a Response to a NOTIFY Request. However, SNA Server treats this
unexpected Response as a Response to its NOTIFY Request. At this point, the Host
and the SNA Server are not synchronized any more as far as this session is
concerned.
Additional query words: reconnect hangs correlator sequence
