SYMPTOMS
After you apply SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2), TN3270 users may experience one of the following problems:  The first TN3270 client that connects to an OnDemand connection fails. The connection is brought up, but the client remains in a not responding state, and the LU shows in SSCP state. This only affects the first client; all subsequent clients connect successfully. If the connection is set to Server Startup, everything works fine. If the host uses DDDLUs, TN3270 clients may display the following error message when they start a host session through the SNA Server TN3270 server:

TN3270E Service Message 525

The PU is active for LU .

You may continue to wait, or terminate your session.

After the error message appears, the user may be able to obtain a host session by disconnecting and then reconnecting the session from within the TN3270 emulator.
