User Able to Open Display Session If Associated Printer in Use (172637)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q172637 SYMPTOMS
When you are using the Associated Printers function in SNA Manager to
assign a particular Printer Session to a particular Display LU and a user
disconnects the display session while keeping the Associated Printer
session active, a new user can connect to this display session. The new
user is unable to get a printer session because it is already in use.
CAUSE
SNA Server is not checking to see whether the associated printer LU is in
use by another user.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and
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
(without the spaces):
MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, SNA Server does not allow a user to obtain a display
LU if it has an associated printer session that already in use by another
user.
NOTE: The user who has the printer session open will still be able to
reopen the associated 3270 display session. This problem only affects the
case where another user was being allowed to open a display session when
its associated printer is already open.
