SLI_BID May Return LUA_CANCELLED/LUA_TERMINATED

ID: Q180703

The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS

If a Win32 SLI application is running on an SNA Server computer and the SNA Server service is stopped, any outstanding SLI_BID requests are returned with the following error:

primary_rc = 0x0021 (LUA_CANCELLED)
secondary_rc = 0x00000080 (LUA_TERMINATED)

The SLI application may not be expecting this particular error code and may not recognize that the SNA Server is no longer available.

Instead, the SLI interface should return:

primary_rc = 0xF003 (LUA_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_ABENDED)

CAUSE

The SNA Server SLI interface is not returning an informative return code.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server versions 3.0 and 4.0 U.S. Service Packs. For information on obtaining these Service Packs, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
