The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.11

SYMPTOMS

Applications using the SNA Server AFTP API do not close when there are no more active connections open to it.

CAUSE

The AFTP API library does not call WinCPICCleanup() when all the applications using it terminate. However, it does call WinCPICStartup() when an application first calls it.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has updated the files, AFTP.EXE and AFTPAPI.DLL, to correct this problem.

The library is now changed to call WinCPICCleanup() when an application has no more AFTP connections open to it.

A change has also been made to the AFTP client application to prevent it from opening a new connection every time it closes one.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
