SNA Server 3.0 Appears to Ignore APPC Mode Priority Setting

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1

SYMPTOMS

When you run APPC applications which use APPC modes, the applications still seem to be handled with the same priority regardless of whether the High Priority check box is selected.

CAUSE

The SNA Server 3.0 Manager program saves the APPC mode parameter incorrectly, which causes the High Priority parameter to be ignored by SNA Server.

RESOLUTION

There is no workaround for this problem. A hotfix to SNA Server 3.0 (post SP1) is available to correct this problem. The updated module is Snacfg.dll.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
