SYMPTOMS

1. SNA Server Did Not Support the Local LU Syncpoint Option
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   SNACFG does not support "Use Client/Server Encryption" flag for Local APPC LUs.
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem. The syntax is:

   SNACFG [#configpath] User <username> /add /syncpoint: yes | no

   It also works with /print.



2. "Use Client/Server Encryption" Not Supported Using /Print Option
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   The following command does not display the "Use Client/Server Encryption" flag for users or user groups:

   SNACFG [#configpath] User <username> /Print

   
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem.



3. Session Level Security Settings Not Supported
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   SNACFG does not support the APPCRLU session-level security options.
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem. The following is the syntax:

   SNACFG APPCRLU /SECURITY:{ None,text | Hex,text | Char,text }

   It also works with /print.



4. MaxSendRU is Displayed Three Times When Using Mode Option
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   The following command will display the MaxSendRU value three times in error:

   c:> snacfg mode <modename> /print

   
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem.



5. Deleting User Without DomainName May Delete Wrong User
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   Snacfg.exe allows the deletion of users without specifying the domainname. The following command deletes the first user named Fred that it finds:

   c:> snacfg user Fred /delete

   
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem.



6. SNACFG Connection Command Problems
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   When using the connection option of SNACFG, you have the following results:
   
   
   • The XID parameter is not output by /PRINT.
   
   
   
   • If a connection is set to use XID0, restoring the config via SNACFG will set it to XID3.
   
   
   
   • The remote end parameter is not preserved. The /PRINT converts peer to host. After restoring the config, downstream is converted to peer.
   
   
   
   
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem.



7. SNACFG Doesn't Support Different LOCAL Network Name and Control Point Name for Each Connection
   
   SYMPTOMS
   
   SNACFG doesn't support different LOCAL Network Name and Control Point Name for each connection.
   
   RESOLUTION
   
   A fix is available to correct this problem.
   
   The following command allows a Local Network Name and Control Point Name to be added for each connection:

   c:> snacfg [#configpath] connection <connectionname> /netname /cpname
