SNA MngAgent Trap in Function CManage: GetNotify

ID: Q188238


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0S P3, 4.0, and 4.0 SP1


SYMPTOMS

The SNA Server Manage Agent service (MngAgent.exe) may generate an application exception error when APPC sessions are not properly cleaned up. When this problem occurs, the Windows NT Application Event Log will contain a message similar to the following:


   Event ID: 624
   Source: SNA Server
   Description: Creating dump file C:\SNA\traces\snadump.log for
   mngagent.exe 


If Drwtsn32.exe is the default debugger on the computer running Windows NT Server and SNA Server, an entry similar to the following will be included in the drwtsn32.log in the Windows NT directory:


   Application exception occurred:
      App: exe\mngagent.dbg (pid=<process ID #>)
      When: <date> @ <time>
      Exception number: c0000005 (access violation) 


CAUSE

Partner APPC sessions are not being cleaned up properly when SNA Server receives notification from a client to close an APPC session. This eventually leads to the application exception error.
