Pooling Of Local APPC LUs Not Functioning Properly

• Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Clients fail to obtain a 5250 session when configured to use the default pool of Local APPC LUs if all of the sessions on the last Local APPC LU are in use.

CAUSE

SNA Server fails to provide a session from the next LU in the default outgoing Local APPC LU Pool. SNA Server will provide sessions starting with the last LU in the pool. When this LU has reached its session limit, it should start providing sessions from the next LU on the list.

RESOLUTION

A fix was made to the SNA Server service to resolve this problem. Obtain the hotfix mentioned below.

The updated files are:

Wappc32.dll
Snaservr.exe
Trcservr.exe
