LocalLU for Invoking TPs is Documented Incorrectly in CPI-C SDK Online Help (274185)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0

  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP2
  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP3

SYMPTOMS

The SNA Server 4.0 CPI-C Programmer's Guide online Help incorrectly documents the "LocalLU" registry parameter for both the SNA Server Microsoft Windows NT client and SNA Server Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98 client. The Windows NT client and Windows 9x client are documented as follows:

Location in Windows NT registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNABase \Parameters TPname:REG_SZ:localLUalias

Location in Windows 9x registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNABase \Parameters TPname:REG_SZ:localLUalias

However, the correct syntax for the SNA Server Microsoft Windows NT client is as follows:

Location in Windows NT registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNABase\Parameters \Client <exename>:REG_SZ:localLUalias

Note that EXENAME is the CPI-C program name (Win32 executable name). For example, to force the APING sample program to use a Local LU alias of "LOCAL", the registry setting should be specified as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters \Client APING:REG_SZ:LOCAL

Location in Windows 9x registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SnaBase\Parameters \Client <exename>:REG_SZ:localLUalias
