SYMPTOMS
If multiple Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000, Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1), or Host Integration Server 2004 servers send BIND requests to a remote system at the same time, the remote system may reject the BIND requests by sending a BIND –RSP with IBM Sense Code 0x083B0001.

You may receive the following message in the application event log when this problem occurs:

Event ID: 18 Source: SNA Server Description: APPC session activation failure: BIND negative response or UNBIND request received

Sense data  = 083B0001 Connection  = ConnectionName LU alias    = LUName PLU alias   = PLUAlias Mode name   = ModeName Note This problem only occurs when the Host Integration Server 2000, Host Integration Server 2000 SP1, or Host Integration Server 2004 servers are sending extended BIND requests to the remote system.



CAUSE
An extended BIND request includes a Fully Qualified PCID control vector. The vector must be unique across the SNA network. The Fully Qualified PCID control vector includes an 8-byte PCID value that also must be unique in the SNA network. Host Integration Server 2000 generates the 8-byte PCID value by using the local system time. If multiple Host Integration Server 2000, Host Integration Server 2000 SP1, or Host Integration Server 2004 servers send BIND requests to a remote system at the same time, the 8-byte PCID value may be duplicated. The remote system detects the duplicate PCID values and rejects the BIND requests with a BIND –RSP that includes IBM Sense Code 0x083B0001.
