SNA LU6.2 Resync TP Service Logs Event 131 and Fails to Start in Host Integration Server 2000 or in Host Integration Server 2004 (311948)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
- Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004
This article was previously published under Q311948 SYMPTOMS
The SNA LU6.2 Resync TP service (Resyncsvc.exe) fails to start on a Host Integration Server (HIS) 2000 or Host Integration Server 2004 server that is operating in client mode when configured to connect to an SNA Server 4.0 system. In addition, the following event will be logged in the Application Event Log on the Host Integration Server system:
Event ID: 131
Source: SNA LU6.2 Resync TP
Description: (131) The Resynchronization Service was unable to initialize interfaces to the WMI Provider.
EXPLANATION
The Resynchronization Service encountered HRESULT
8004100E when trying to obtain SNA configuration information
from the Host Integration Server WMI namespace. The
service is unable to initialize its environment and prepare
for transactions. This may indicate that the primary SNA
configuration server or other SNA server service has become
inactive or unreachable on the network, or that the Host
Integration Server was not installed properly.
The HRESULT listed in the explanation of the Event 131 may vary. The following are common HRESULT errors that may be returned:
- 8004100E - WBEM_E_INVALID_NAMESPACE
- 80040154 - REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG
CAUSE
The SNA LU6.2 Resync TP in Host Integration Server needs to read the Host Integration Server configuration file (COM.cfg) to determine which Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) Logical Units (LUs) are configured for SyncPoint support. The SNA LU6.2 Resync TP is designed to use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to read the Host Integration Server configuration.
SNA Server 4.0 (and earlier) does not support WMI, so the SNA LU6.2 Resync TP is unable to read an SNA Server 4.0 configuration to obtain the APPC LU information that it requires. This results in the Event 131 and the service's failure to start.
This behavior is by design since SNA Server 4.0 and ealier do not support WMI.
STATUS
This behavior is by design because SNA Server 4.0 (and earlier) does not support WMI.
MORE INFORMATION
The SNA LU6.2 Resync TP service works with Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) to perform automatic recovery to a consistent state in the face of failures at any point in a two-phase commit (2PC) transaction.
The SNA LU6.2 Resync TP service is installed by default when an HIS Server is installed. This service is not available when you install either the HIS End-User Client or the HIS Admin Client.
An HIS Server can be installed in client (or "Nodeless") mode if the SNA Service component under "SNA Application Support" is deselected during the installation process. The SNA LU6.2 Resync TP service is still installed when you are installing HIS Server in client mode.
When Host Integration Server is installed in client mode, the SNA Resource Location Wizard will be presented at the end of the installation process to allow the Host Integration Server in client mode to be configured to locate a Host Integration Server or SNA Server. If the Host Integration Server in client mode is configured to connect to an SNA Server 4.0 system, the SNA LU6.2 Resync TP service will fail to start as described previously.
