DOCUMENT:Q137482 13-JUN-2001 [sna] TITLE :LUA Program Receives Host Sign-On Screen Twice and then Hangs PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER:WINDOWS:2.0,2.1,2.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, on platform(s): - the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you start your LUA program, the SSCP Welcome message screen appears twice, and the LUA program seems to hang. CAUSE ===== Under certain timing conditions, when an LUA session is closed (with an SLI_CLOSE statement) and immediately reopened (with an SLI_OPEN statement) over a fast link, SNA Server may incorrectly resend the host SSCP welcome message a second time to the LUA program. As a result the LUA program may hang. The following message flow causes this problem: LUA Program SNA Server Host ----------------------------------------------------- <- UNBIND UNBIND +RSP -> NOTIFY(SLU disabled) -> SLI_CLOSE -> SLI_OPEN -> <- SSCP welcome message <- SLI_OPEN(SSCP welcome message) <- NOTIFY +RSP NOTIFY(SLU enabled) -> <- SSCP welcome message SLI_RECEIVE -> <- SLI_RECEIVE (SSCP welcome message) <- NOTIFY +RSP RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, upgrade to SNA Server version 2.11 and install the updated file SNASERVR.EXE. To work around this problem, you can put a small delay in the application between the SLI_CLOSE completing and issuing the new SLI_OPEN command. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack.
