NetWare Transaction Tracking System (TTS) Not Detected

 Last reviewed: March 21, 1997
Article ID: Q135621
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

On your computer running Windows NT, when you start a database client program that connects to a database on a Novell NetWare server, the program generates a warning message that the Novell NetWare server's Transactional Tracking System (TTS) is not active, even though it is.

If you use your database application despite the warning, the index tables in the server's database are destroyed.

This problem occurs if you run Windows NT Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) and the database client program uses NetWare APIs to detect whether TTS is available.

CAUSE

CSNW does not correctly interpret the status information returned by the NetWare server when it checks for the presence of TTS.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 

3.51.    This problem has been corrected in Windows NT 4.0 and the latest
  U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base without the spaces):
