SYMPTOMS

The 3270 Applet does not support multiple connections to the SNA Server computer to gain access to the mainframe on the same workstation.

WORKAROUND

Another 3270 emulator that supports the Microsoft SNA Server connection (3270 SNA Server Client) must be used to support multiple instances connecting to the mainframe.

MORE INFORMATION

The 3270 Applet supports mainframe multi-session managers such as TPX and Supersession because they are host initiated and controlled multi-sessions.
