SNA Server Unable to Reconnect to Distributed Link Service (158212)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 SP1
This article was previously published under Q158212 SYMPTOMS
SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1 allows a SNA Server to communicate through
an SNA Server link service residing on a different server (referred to as
the Distributed Link Service feature). However, SNA Server will be unable
to reopen a connection through the "distributed" link service under the
following conditions:
- If the LAN session between the SNA Server and the "remoted" link
service is lost.
- If the computer running SNA Server is powered off without gracefully
shutting down the server.
CAUSE
The SNA Server link service interface (SNALINK.DLL) was not passing "lost
locality" messages to the link service. This caused the link service to
fail to end, and to fail to accept a new connection from an SNA Server.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server
version 2.11 Service Pack 1.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
