Incoming SDLC PU Passthrough Connection Fails (309151)

- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0

This article was previously published under Q309151 SYMPTOMS
When an incoming SDLC PU Passthrough connection uses a Format 1 XID,
the passthrough connection fails to activate. This behavior occurs even
though traces show that the XID is passed to the upstream system and a
response is received. No Set Normal Response Mode (SNRM) command is
sent from the Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 or Microsoft Host Integration
Server 2000 system.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because SNA Server 4.0 and Host Integration Server
2000 incorrectly treat the incoming Format 1 XID as a Format 3 XID,
which causes the server to assume the secondary link station role, even
though it should take the primary link station role.
