SNA Server Manager Traps When Assigning 5000 Pools to a User

• Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

An application exception in SNA Server Manager (Snaexp.exe) occurs when 5000 LU pools are assigned to one user. A Drwtsn32.log is generated in the Windows NT directory when the application exception occurs.

CAUSE

The addition of the 4,329th LU pool to a user record in SNA Server version 3.0 causes the user record's length to grow beyond 64 KB, causing the application exception to occur when the configuration is being written.

RESOLUTION

The limit on the number of pools that may be assigned to a user has been set at 4000.

To resolve this problem, obtain the hotfix mentioned below. The following file has been updated:

<Snaroot>\System\Snacfg.dll
