Error Line Number Returned By Snacfg.exe May Be Incorrect, Other Enhancements

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

SYMPTOMS

When using the offline administrative tool Snacfg.exe to import a script file that contains more than 65,535 lines into a Com.cfg file, if an error occurs, the line number displayed may be incorrect.

CAUSE

The internal counter used by Snacfg.exe was defined as a short, limiting it to 65,535. This has been changed to a long value, which will allow the counter value to be extended to 2,147,483,647.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server version 4.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server versions 4.0, 4.0SP1, 4.0SP2. This problem was first corrected in SNA Server version 4.0 Service Pack 3.

MORE INFORMATION

In addition to correcting the line number problem, a new /count parameter was added to Snacfg so that the number of objects in a Com.cfg file can be counted using the tool. Also, performance enhancements were done at this time to improve the performance of Snacfg.exe when parsing large configurations.
