SUMMARY

The SNA Server Windows 3.x client software includes support for the IBM-compatible Enhanced PC Support APPC API interface, through a Microsoft version of Ehnappc.dll. Both IBM-compatible and NetSoft-compatible versions of Ehnappc.dll are shipped with SNA Server. The IBM-compatible version is installed with the SNA Server Windows 3.x client, though the NetSoft- compatible version must be manually copied from the SNA Server compact disc, located in <cdrom>\Clients\Win3x\Ehnns\Ehnappc.dll.

The SNA Server Ehnappc.dll interface communicates over the SNA Server Windows APPC (Winappc.dll) interface, and maps return codes as defined by the Windows PC Support APPC API. This article describes SNA Server return codes that are returned by the SNA Server Ehnappc.dll interface, along with the cause of the error.

MORE INFORMATION

The following is a list of Enhanced PC Support error codes and corresponding SNA Server WINAPPC error codes, as returned by the SNA Server Ehnappc.dll interface. To troubleshoot the specific cause of the problem, SNA Server Windows 3.x client APPC, LU6.2 and internal traces should be captured. For instructions, see the following Knowledge Base article:

0x37 (EHNAPPC_ALLOCERRSECNOTVALID)
   primary_rc   = 0003 (AP_ALLOCATION_ERROR)
   secondary_rc = 080F6051 (AP_SECURITY_NOT_VALID)

   primary_rc   = 0003 (AP_ALLOCATION_ERROR)
   secondary_rc = 10086034 (AP_CONVERSATION_TYPE_MISMATCH)

or
   primary_rc = 0007 (AP_DEALLOC_ABEND_SVC)
				
or
   primary_rc = 0008 (AP_DEALLOC_ABEND_TIMER)
				
The conversation has been deallocated for one of the following reasons:
  • the partner TP issued MC_DEALLOCATE with an ABEND type.
  • the partner TP has failed abnormally, causing the partner LU to send an MC_DEALLOCATE request.
  • the SNA client software's LAN session to the SNA Server was lost, causing APPC to return this error to the local TP.
Check the Windows NT application event log for an error. If Event 38 is logged with a qualifier of 0005, then the client-server LAN session may have been lost.

0x47 (EHNAPPC_INSUFFICIENTMEMORY)

SNA Server does not return this error.

  • The SNA Server service has failed abnormally.
  • The SNA client running on the local machine has failed abnormally.
or
   primary_rc = F004  (AP_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_NOT_LOADED)
