DCA ISCA SDLC Link Service Sets Incorrect Registry Entries (163313)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q163313 SYMPTOMS
The symptoms will vary depending on whether this is the first link service
installed. If this is the first link service installed, most of the
registry values will be left empty. Most notably, the DependOnService value
for SNAServr will be missing DCASDLC1, which will cause the SNA Server
service to start without starting the link service. The server will go to
an Active state in SNA Manager, but the connection will not change from
Inactive. If a previous link service is installed, the values will be
entered, but incorrectly. In this case, the connection will go to a Pending
state, but will not establish a connection with the host.
CAUSE
This was caused by an error in the setup file for this link service.
RESOLUTION
A fix has been made to the setup file for this link service.
The current workaround is to use the DCA SDLC link service from SNA Server
2.11 Service Pack 1. To do this, use the following steps:
- In SNA Manager remove the DCASDLC link service.
- Copy files from the 2.11 SP1 compact disc to the SNA 3.0 installation
folder. Copy these files from the <CD>\I386\System\Hwsetup folder of
the compact disc to the <Snaroot>\System\Hwsetup folder on the hard
disk:
Dcasdlc.hlp
Dcasdlc.srl
Dcasdlc.inf
- Create a folder named Dcasdlc in the \<Snaroot>\System\Hwsetup folder
of the hard disk and then copy Dcasync.sys from the
\<CD>\I386\System\Hwsetup\Dcasdlc folder to the
\<Snaroot>\System\Hwsetup\Dcasdlc folder:
- Run the External Link Service tools from the Tools menu in SNA Manager.
- Click Add and select "DCA SDLC link service."
