DMOD Does Not Recreate I/O Threads If Reinitialized

• Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0 SP1
  on the following platforms: NT

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to connect to backup sponsors or backup domains, DMOD does not recreate the I/O Worker threads when it reinitializes, so SnaBase fails to connect to the backup sponsor.

CAUSE

When SnaBase switches from the primary domain to the backup domain, it shuts down the DMOD and then reinitializes it. This shutdown terminates the I/O threads but the reinitialization does not recreate them.

RESOLUTION

DMOD has been modified so that it will recreate the I/O threads when reinitialized.

STATUS
