Snaservr.exe Application Exception in SAPUGETI Function (161039)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server 2.0
  • Microsoft SNA Server 2.1
  • Microsoft SNA Server 2.11
  • Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 SP1
This article was previously published under Q161039

SYMPTOMS

You may see an application exception with SNA Server after an update to 3270 (or LUA) LUs on an active server. This application exception occurs when one or more of the updates cannot be immediately enacted (the SNA Server will appear "out-of-date" in the SNA Server Administrator program) and you then attempt to activate/deactivate a connection on the computer running SNA Server.

When this problem occurs, SNA Server generates a Dr. Watson error. The Drwtsn32.log file indicates that an application exception has occurred in Snaservr.exe, in the sapugeti function. In addition, SNA Server may log an Event 624 in the Windows NT Application Event log when the Snaservr.exe application exception occurs.

RESOLUTION

A fix is available to correct this problem.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, and 2.11 SP1.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
