Host Account Cache Database Is Lost When Promoted To Master (171250)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q171250 SYMPTOMS
When a SNA Host Account Cache service configured as Backup is promoted to
Master, the current Host Account Database( <HostSecDir>\HSsystem\DBase.DBS)
will be replaced by a new empty DBase.DBS file. The only Events logged are:
(source = SNA Host Security)<BR/>
- event 1325 - SNA Host Account Cache Stopped.<BR/>
- event 1324 - SNA Host Account Cache Started, Database Synchronized.
CAUSE
The SNA Host Account Cache service, when configured as Backup, is designed
to delete its local copy of the Host Account Database when it is stopped.
When a Backup SNA Host Account Cache service is promoted to Master, it will
stop and restart itself in the new role. During the stopping process, the
local copy of the Dbase.dbs file is deleted and the SNA Host Account Cache
service then restarts successfully but with an empty database.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0
Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
