.NET Questions and Solutions

Symptoms
An application exception (trap) may occur on the SNA Server computer when you use the Rumba 5.2 TN5250 client to connect to the TN5250 Service. If you have Dr. Watson (Drwtsn32.exe) configured as the default debugger, a Drwtsn32.log file is created in the [NTROOT] directory. The following events are created in the Application event log of the Event Viewer:

Symptoms
An application exception (trap) occurs in the SNA Server service(SNASERVR.EXE) when used with the Attachmate Extra! 3270 version 4.xemulator.
If you have Dr. Watson (DRWTSN32.EXE) configured as the default debugger,the DRWTSN32.LOG shows an exception similar to the following:

Application exception occurred:
App: snaservr.DBG (pid=147)
When: 8/1/1995 @ 16:39:1.590
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)In addition, SNA Server logs Event 624 in the Windows NT Application Log(as seen in the Event Viewer) when this trap occurs. The following is adetailed description of the Event 624 that is logged when this trap occurs:

Creating dump file C:\SNA\TRACES\SNADUMP.LOG for SNASERVR.EXE
EXPLANATION
A process (SNASERVR.EXE) ended abnormally due to a protection
violation or similar condition and a dump file SNADUMP.LOG has been
created that contains information about the state of the process at
the time of the exception. Register information is contained in your
Windows NT root directory in the file DRWTSN32.LOG.
Resolution
A 3270 emulator has two connections to the SNA Server service. Oneconnection is for SSCP-LU data and the other one is for PLU-SLU (PrimaryLogical Unit – Secondary Logical Unit) data. The SNA Server service trap iscaused because the 3270 emulator is sending a PLU-SLU message on theconnection that is only meant to handle SSCP-LU data. This is behaviorwhich the SNA Server service is not expecting, and it traps when itaccesses its session control block for the SSCP-LU session and treats it asa control block for the PLU-SLU session.

Symptoms
An SNA Server 4.0 system may experience an application exception in theSnaservr.exe file in function SNPUPUTI when a PU PassThrough connection isconfigured to use Format 0 XIDs.
When this occurs, a Drwtsn32.log file is generated in the Windows NTdirectory. The Drwtsn32.log file will contain an entry similar to thefollowing:

Register information is contained in yourWindows NT root directory in the file Drwtsn32.log. NOTE: This can only occur when SNA Server is configured to use PUPassThrough connections and one of these connections is configured to useFormat 0 XIDs in the connection properties under the System Identificationtab.
Resolution
The application exception is caused when SNA Server attempts to forward aFormat 3 XID received on one PU PassThrough connection to its partner PUPassThrough connection that is configured to use Format 0 XIDs.

Symptoms
The SNA Server Manage Agent service (MngAgent.exe) may generate anapplication exception when stopping an LU. When this problemoccurs, theWindows NT Application Event Log contains a message similar to thefollowing:

Symptoms
An SNA Server computer using SNARAS may experience an application exceptionin Rasman.exe in function SnaRasUnbind() after successfully opening andclosing a number of SNARAS connections in succession.
An entry similar to the following will be written to a Drwtsn32.log file inthe Windows NT directory when the application exception occurs:

Application exception occurred:App: exe\rasman.dbg (<process id>)When: <date> @ <time>Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)<data omitted>function: SnaRasUnbind<data omitted>FAULT ->63701c81 8b7604mov esi,[esi+0x4]ds:014bfa0e=????????<data omitted> In one reported instance of this problem, the application exceptionoccurred after 20 to 30 SNA Server SNARAS connections were opened and thenclosed in succession. Each connection was established to download filesfrom a remote system and was closed after the files were downloaded.
Resolution
The application exception is caused when SNARAS attempts to access memorythat has been released.
