APPC Printserver Sessions Inactive with System 36 or AS/36 Host (170589)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
This article was previously published under Q170589 SYMPTOMS
APPC print sessions defined on an SNA 3.0 Server stay in an inactive status
and do not change to available status if the host is either a System/36 or
an AS/36.
CAUSE
The PIP data sent in an APPC print session Attach contains a 2-byte field
called "Reported System ID," which specifies which type of source system
the SNA Print Server is trying to emulate. By default, SNA Server sends
0x0510 to indicate that an AS/400 is being emulated. To communicate with
either an S/36 or an AS/36 Host, SNA Server must send 0x0500.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and
3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
