SYMPTOMSA 5250 emulator that loses the AS/400 session due to a connection outage on a SNA Server gets the following error when you try to reestablish a session with the AS/400:
CAUSEWhen SNA Server is configured to use a default Local APPC LU, the hot backup function for APPC/5250 does not give a Remote LU on a disabled connection a lower priority than a Remote LU on an Inactive connection which causes hot backup to fail. If only one of the connections is "Active" and it fails, the other "On Demand" connections still have a lower priority than the previously Active connection that has since failed. Since this failed connection still has the higher priority, none of the On Demand connections are activated. Therefore, hot backup fails and the 5250 emulator reports the error above. RESOLUTION
Microsoft has updated the following files to correct this problem:
\DCL\S1SRC\SLPRCHLU.CBinaries affected: <snaroot>\SYSTEM\SNASERVR.EXETo work around this problem, SNA Servers that provide hot backup for APPC/5250 sessions can have their AS/400 connections configured for "On Server Startup" activation. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces): S E R V P A C K MORE INFORMATION
If there are two or more SNA Servers in a domain that are configured to
provide Hot Backup for APPC/5250 sessions and those SNA Servers have
connections to an AS/400 that have a status of On Demand when viewed in SNA
Server Admin, the first 5250 emulator to request a session with the AS/400
forces one of these On Demand connections to become Active.
