SNA Manage Agent Traps After Saving Configuration Change

Article ID: 173173

Article Last Modified on 6/28/2004

APPLIES TO

Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 4
Microsoft SNA Server 4.0

This article was previously published under Q173173

SYMPTOMS

After you make a configuration change using SNA Manager, the SNA Server Manage Agent process (Mngagent.exe) may encounter an access violation, causing the SNA Server status in Manager to appear as offline. The SNA Server service will continue to run properly, but no status information is displayed for the server.

When this problem occurs, the following <ntroot>\Drwtsn32.log entry is logged:

Application exception occurred:
App: mngagent.dbg (<process ID>)
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

CAUSE

This problem is rare. An uninitialized variable leads to a Manage Agent access violation in CAgtPxyRecExchange::SendModifyUse.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem:

Manually restart the SNA Manage Agent (Mngagent.exe) on the SNA Server computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
