SYMPTOMS

The following is an excerpt from the System log: 
   Event ID: 624
   Source: SNA Server
   Creating dump file C:\SNA\traces\snadump.log for SNABASE.EXE

   EXPLANATION
   A process (SNABASE.EXE) ended abnormally due to a protection
   violation or similar condition and a dump file
   COMDUMPSNABASE.EXE.DMP has been created that contains
   information about the state of the process at the time of the
   exception. Register information is contained in your Windows
   NT root directory in the file DRWTSN32.LOG.

CAUSE

SNA Server logs the Event 624 explanation text incorrectly.

RESOLUTION

An update to SNA Server 2.11 corrects the dump file name forming problem. With this update applied, the correct name is now logged:
  • For Windows NT:

    SNADUMP.LOG

  • For OS/2 clients:

    COMDUMP?.DMP
