IBM DFT Link Service Not Integrated In SNA Server Manager

 Last reviewed: April 14, 1997
Article ID: Q164589
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

In SNA Server Manager, if you click Link Service on the Insert menu to add the IBM DFT Link Service, you receive the following message: 

   Link Service Error

   This link service cannot be configured using the SNA Server Manager.
   To configure this link service, run the External Link Services tool
   from the Tools Menu.

CAUSE

The IBM DFT Link Service was not written so that it could be fully integrated into the SNA Server Manager program when SNA Server 3.0 was released.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use the External Link Services tool to install the IBM DFT Link Service.

The IBM DFT Link Service has been updated so that it is now fully integrated into SNA Server Manager so that it can be added using the Insert -> Link Service option with Manager. The updated files are: 

   <snaroot>\setup\server\snafile.stf
   <snaroot>\setup\server\snafile.inf
   <snaroot>\system\hwsetup\ibmdft\ibmdfcfg.dll

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
