SNA Server APPC Returns AP_BAD_PARTNER_LU_ALIAS in Error (170422)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
This article was previously published under Q170422 SYMPTOMS
If an APPC (or CPIC) application attempts to allocate a conversation
using a Local APPC LU alias that is owned by an SNA Server that is not
running, SNA Server incorrectly returns the following error to the
APPC application:
primary_rc = AP_PARAMETER_CHECK (0x0001)
secondary_rc = AP_BAD_PARTNER_LU_ALIAS (0x0000015B)
APPC should return primary_rc = AP_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_NOT_LOADED (0xF004),
to indicate that the server is not running, instead of indicating that
the partner LU alias is invalid.
CAUSE
This problem was introduced in SNA Server 3.0 as part of the new support
for dynamic APPC LU partnering, where the wrong initial return code was
being set.
RESOLUTION
An update to SNA Server 3.0 (post SP1) is available to correct this problem.
The updated module is SNASERVR.EXE.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0
and 3.0 SP1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack,
