{% raw %}
Article: Q148603
Product(s): Microsoft SNA Server
Version(s): WINDOWS:2.0,2.1,2.11,2.11 SP1
Operating System(s):
Keyword(s): kbnetwork
Last Modified: 13-JUN-2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, 2.11 SP1, on platform(s):
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If the SNA Server connection (supporting the APPC LU's being requested) does not
start for any reason, the SNA Server returns an invalid sense code in the
SENSE_DATA field. However, if the remote system receives an actual SNA sense
code during the LU6.2 session activation, SNA Server returns the correct sense
code in the [MC_]ALLOCATE response.
CAUSE
=====
If a connection fails, the SNA Server service returns the value of an
uninitialized variable to the APPC interface, instead of a valid sense code.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, apply the fix mentioned below.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0, 2.1,
2.11, and 2.11 Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest
Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the
