This article was previously published under Q183554



SYMPTOMS
When you provide a connect string that contains a data source name for which there is no actual data source, the resulting error message indicates an SNA Server LU alias name is incorrect, for example:

Microsoft SNA OLE DB Provider (ODB)

-2147467259 (0x80004005)

Invalid partner LU alias.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, either correct the data source name as used in the connect string, or provide a correct data source with the name used in the connect string.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for AS/400 and VSAM version 1.00, included with SNA Server version 4.0.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
