Dragging LUs Between Pools of the Same Type Does Not Work (177898)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
  • Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
  • Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP2

This article was previously published under Q177898

SYMPTOMS

When you drag LUs from either an LUA or Downstream LU pool to another pool of the same type, the operation fails, which causes an SNAOLE error to be generated indicating that the
Target record already has an owner.
NOTE: The same behavior can occur when you drag 3270 LUs between 3270 Display LU Pools.

SNA Manager does not allow LUs to be dragged between different pools. However, it does not currently display a useful error message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, and 3.0 SP2.

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, LUs still cannot be dragged within the same pool or from one pool to another. However, instead of the SNAOLE error message, you see a symbol that indicates that you are not allowed to drop the LU in the pool. If you hold the LU over the pool, a pop-up message tells you that the LU is owned by another pool.
