If an RUI application is configured to open several instances of pooled LUA sessions, SNA Server may receive a duplicate USSMSG10 (that is, VTAM Signon or "banner") or USSMSG7 (VTAM error) screen on the SSCP-LU session under certain timing conditions. This duplicate screen is then passed to the RUI application during normal session cleanup. Receiving the additional SSCP-LU message may cause problems for the application because it was not expecting to receive this information twice. The actual symptoms experienced are application-specific because it depends on how the application is designed. CAUSE
While rapidly deactivating and activating a dependent session, the SNA Server may receive the host's USSMSG10 or USSMSG7 screen (intended for the previous user) after SNA Server has sent a NOTIFY(SLU Enabled) message to activate the session for the new user, along with another USSMSG10 screen for the new session activation. Because SNA Server actually receives two SSCP-LU messages from the host, the 3270 or LUA application receives both messages. RESOLUTIONTo 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: Q215838 How to Obtain the Latest SNA Server Version 4.0 Service Pack STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP3, 3.0 SP4, 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2. This problem was first corrected in SNA Server version 4.0 Service Pack 3. MORE INFORMATION
SNA Server returns an LU to its pool for subsequent session requests after it receives a NOTIFY(SLU Disabled) +RSP from the host in response to the NOTIFY(SLU Disabled) that it sent to inform the host that the session has been terminated by the application.
