SYMPTOMS
If the SNA LU6.2 Resync service does not successfully ALLOCATE a conversation with one Remote logical unit (LU), requests for all Remote LUs that require syncpoint (2PC) may not succeed.
In the application event log of the system that is running the SNA Server service, an Event ID 18 generally appears. This EventID 18 indicates a BIND failure, and is followed by an Event ID 110. This Event ID 110 is logged in the application event log of the system that is running the SNA LU6.2 Resync Service, and will be similar to the following:
(110) The Resynchronization Service failed to allocate a conversation with the Remote LU.
EXPLANATION:
The Resynchronization Service could not communicate with the remote logical unit (host LU) REMLU1 to prepare for transactions with it from local LU LOCAL1.
In SNA Application API traces, all APPC calls that are made by the SNA LU6.2 Resync service after the ALLOCATE error do not succeed and have a primary return code of 0xf003 (AP_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_ABENDED).
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the APPC library is incorrectly issuing a CLOSE_TP message when an ALLOCATE request does not succeed due to a BIND failure. After the CLOSE_TP request has been issued, the connection with the SNA Server service is lost and all further APPC calls are unsuccessful and have the primary return code of 0xf003 (AP_COMM_SUBSYSTEM_ABENDED).

MORE INFORMATION
If COMTI is the application that requires a syncpoint (2PC) conversation, an Event ID 102 is logged each time that COMTI tries to ALLOCATE a conversation after the SNA LU6.2 Resync service enters the failed state.
The event 102 will be similar to the following:
(102) COM Transaction Integrator reported the following exception to the client:
Component: Component.Interface.1
Method: Method1
Exception description: (1227) COM Transaction Integrator was unable to enlist on the DTC transaction (HRESULT=0x8004d10d). If HRESULT is 8004d10E or 8004d10F, retry the request. If HRESULT is 8004d110, the transaction recovery has failed. Use the DTC Admin Console to manually resolve any pending transactions. For all other HRESULTs, start the COM Transaction Integrator Resynchronization Service. If COMTI Resynchronization Service is already active, contact Microsoft customer support.
