SYMPTOMS

SNA Server 2.11 and 3.0 fail to dynamically activate an LU (through the host dynamic definition of dependent LUs) after the connection has been active for five minutes. After five minutes, the SNA Server stops sending NMVTs to request activation, and rejects client 3270 session activation requests (that is, Open(SSCP) requests) with the following error:
No free LU in LU Pool.

CAUSE

After five minutes, SNA Server no longer attempts to activate dynamically defined 3270 LUs.
