• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The LU Name for an existing 3270 Print Session is not updated after it is changed in SNA Server Manager.

MORE INFORMATION

To reproduce this problem, follow these steps:

1. Open SNA Server Manager.



2. Create a new 3270 Print Session using an existing printer LU name (LU03).



3. Save the changes in SNA Server Manger.



4. Change the LU Name of 3270 Print Session that you created in Step 2 (LU03 -> LU05).



5. Save the changes in SNA Server Manger.



6. The 3270 Print Session properties will show the original LU Name (LU03).

RESOLUTION

The current workaround is to delete the 3270 Print Session and recreate it using the new LU Name.
