SNA EIS Guide:Open(SSCP)Error 0x1009, 0x100B Not Documented

• Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, versions 2.0 and 2.1, 2.11, and 2.11.sp1

SYMPTOMS

Section 5.2.1 of the SNA Server 3270 Emulator Interface Specification (EIS) lists Open(SSCP) errors that SNA Server may return to an emulator when it opens a 3270 session. However, the following Error Code 1 errors are not listed in this section:

   X'1009': The local link service for the connection is active but the
   connection itself is not active. The 3270 emulator should report to the
   user that the connection is not active, or try reposting a new
   Open(SSCP) request.

   X'100B': The connection is in the process of activating as the result of
   another Open(SSCP) client request, manual administrator activation, or
   automatic recovery from a previous connection failure. The 3270 emulator
   should report to the user that the connection is activating, and try
   reposting a new Open(SSCP) request.

These errors were inadvertently omitted from the SNA Server 3270 EIS manual.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server. A future update to the SNA Server Emulator Interface Specification will correct this problem.
