PU Passthru Connection Fails To Activate During XID Negotiation

ID: Q196193

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0 SP1

SYMPTOMS

PU Passthru connections to a remote end may stay in a pending status and not be able to reactivate.

CAUSE

When you use PU Passthru with Distributed Link Services, a window exists whereby one of the remote ends can send an XID to the Node after the Node has sent it the Open-Station-Request. This caused the Node to reject the Open-Station-Response and Station-Contacted message, and thus fail to activate either of the PU Passthru Connections.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 4.0 Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
