Dependent LU6.2 Bind Rejected with Sense Code 0835

 Last reviewed: February 3, 1998
Article ID: Q177899
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and Service Pack 2 (SP2)

SYMPTOMS

SNA Server 3.0 (including SP1 or SP2) may reject a dependent APPC LU Bind that is sent by the host. This causes a session activation error and the following entry is made to the Microsoft Windows NT event log: 

   Event: 17
   Description: APPC session activation failure: BIND negative response
   sent
   Sense Data = 083500xx
NOTE: The xx bytes in the sense code point to the hexadecimal offset within the host bind request of the parameter that SNA Server is rejecting. In this case, the xx may point to a PLU name which may not be prepended with the network name.

CAUSE

The host system starts an LU6.2 dependent session by sending a BIND to SNA Server. If the Primary LU Name (PLU) sent in the BIND request is not preceded by the network name, then SNA Server fails to properly match against the remote APPC LU names configured in SNA Server. This causes SNA Server to reject the BIND if no network name is specified in the PLU name sent by the host system.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, and 3.0 SP2. This problem does not occur with SNA Server 4.0. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression- tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
