Cannot Add the Same Workstation Restrictions to Multiple TN3270 LUs (279335)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
This article was previously published under Q279335 SYMPTOMS
If you add the same workstation name or TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) address to multiple TN3270 LUs in SNA Manager on Host Integration Server (HIS) 2000, you may receive the following error message:
The name or alias has already been used.
This problem does not occur with SNA Server 4.0.
CAUSE
The HIS 2000 management interface incorrectly checks the validity of TN3270 LU restrictions to make sure there are no duplicate entries.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Host Integration Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the

WORKAROUND
If you need to allow a user to have access to a specific set of TN3270 display LUs, the following configuration may resolve the problem:
- Create an LUA (Logical Unit Application) pool.
- Assign the LUA LUs to the LUA pool instead of assigning them to the TN3270 server.
- Assign the LUA pool to the TN3270 server.
- Add the workstation name or TCP/IP address restriction to the LUA pool from the previous step.
If you need to allow multiple users to have access to a specific set of TN3270 display LUs, then a unique LUA pool must be created for each user and the steps outlined here must be repeated for each pool.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1.
