COM.CFG Does Not Shrink When Configuration Items are Removed
ID: Q135236
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11
on the following platforms: NT
SYMPTOMS
The file size of the SNA Server configuration file (COM.CFG) does not
decrease when configuration information is removed from the configuration.
The size of the COM.CFG file depends upon the number of SNA servers in the
domain, as well as the number of SNA connections, LUs, LU Pools, and SNA
Server user/groups that are defined in that domain. When the COM.CFG files
gets large, it takes longer for the SNA Server Admin to open the file when
trying to administer an SNA Server domain. This is more readily apparent if
you are trying to administer an SNA Server domain that is on the other side
of a slow WAN link from the system running SNA Server Admin. For this
reason, the COM.CFG file should get smaller as information is removed from
the configuration.
WORKAROUND
To shrink the COM.CFG file after removing information from the
configuration:
- Use SNA Server Admin to open the COM.CFG file for the SNA Server domain
to be modified.
- Make any configuration changes that are needed.
- Save the configuration by selecting Save Configuration from the File
menu in SNA Server Admin.
- Backup the configuration file by selecting Backup from the File menu.
For more information on how to backup and restore the COM.CFG file in
SNA Server Admin, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

- Restore the newly backed up configuration file by selecting Restore from
the File menu.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0,
2.1, and 2.11. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
