SYMPTOMS
IP-DLC connections that are defined under an SNA Server service (Snaservr.exe) may stay in a pending state after you restart the SNA Server service. This problem only occurs when a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 server is configured to use multiple SNA Server services and multiple IP-DLC link services.
For example, you may experience this problem when the Host Integration Server 2004 configuration resembles the configuration in the following table.
| SNA Server service | Host or peer connection | IP-DLC link service |
|---|---|---|
| SNA Service | Connection1 | SNAIP1 |
| SNA Service 02 | Connection2 | SNAIP2 |
In this example, if the second SNA Server service (SNA Service 02) is restarted, Connection2 stays in a pending state and does not move to an active state when you view the connection in SNA Manager. Therefore, users cannot use Connection2 to establish any host sessions.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the IP-DLC link service does not stop when it receives a notification that an SNA Server service has stopped on a Host Integration Server 2004 server that has multiple SNA Server services installed.
