XFOR: Linkage 3.2 PROFS Connector Repeatedly Restarts Itself

ID: Q189789


The information in this article applies to:
  • LinkAge Message Exchange, version 3.2


SYMPTOMS

The Linkage Message Exchange 3.2 Exchange-OfficeVision/VM Connector may repeatedly halt outbound (to PROFs) message processing and restart itself.

Additionally, events similar to the following may be logged in the Exchange Connectivity Manager's Log Browser:


   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31200 Microsoft Exchange has returned the condition
   80070057
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31201 Microsoft package ID: Win32
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31203 Extended NT Information: The parameter is
   incorrect
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31055 Exchange/MAPI unable to generate valid address,
   connection may be down
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31200 Microsoft Exchange has returned the condition
   80070057
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31201 Microsoft package ID: Win32
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31203 Extended NT Information: The parameter is
   incorrect
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31056 Unable to create valid proxy address
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31051 Unable to complete mapping of Exchange address
   to proxy address
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 31013 Attempting automatic LinkAge Exchange Interface
   restart to clear temporary resource problem
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 00514 A RESTART request has been received
   LME-PROFS-MEXOUT: 00505 LME-PROFS-MEXOUT is ending, last return code as
   {A shutdown request was made} 


CAUSE

The Lsmexout.exe process of the Exchange-OfficeVision/VM Connector encounters only spaces (0x20) in the PR_DISPLAY_NAME property of a target recipient address when it attempts to send a message over to PROFS. This is interpreted as an RPC error, causing the process to terminate. The terminated process is automatically restarted and the same message is processed, resulting in this looping terminate and restart behavior.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Linkage Message Exchange Connector for PROFS version 3.2. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next service pack that contains this fix.
