TITLE: SAA Maintenance
DOCUMENT ID#: TB.S.317
DATE: April 20, 1992
PRODUCT: Netware for SAA
PRODUCT VERSION: 1.1
SUPERSEDES: PTF 300, PTF 292
SYMPTOMS: 1. "SNA_free: Memory Routine Free ERROR. Attempt to free ptr to
zero"
2. Incorrect values in Netview statistics counters.
3. SDLC link disconnected.
4. SAA server cannot establish SDLC connection.
5. "CNS UNABLE TO READ AGENT CONFIGURATION ERROR CODE 10EH"
ISSUE/PROBLEM
1. When a SNA REQMS 02 or 03 command is sent from the host:
A. If the connection to the host is Token Ring the error message
"SNA_free:Memory Routine Free ERROR is displayed.
B. If the connection is SDLC, incorrect statistics may be sent to the
host.
2. SAA does not acknowledge or respond to a poll bit set on within the SDLC
Information (I) frame. Eventually this results in the host issuing a
disconnect command.
3. The server does not respond to a TEST frame sent by the host may result
in the server hanging.
4. Under certain circumstances, the server may send two UA frames in
response to a SNRM from the host. The host responds with a disconnect
command.
5. The error message "CNS UNABLE TO READ AGENT CONFIGURATION ERROR CODE
10Eh" may appear when the Commexec is loaded automatically via the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file. If Commexec is loaded manually the error does not
occur.
SOLUTION
1. The PTF corrects the problem:
A. With a Token Ring connection the server will no longer hang.
Note: A REQMS request is not valid if the connection to the host is
Token Ring, no statistics will be returned.
B. With a SDLC connection the correct statistics will now be returned.
2. NetWare for SAA will now send a Receiver Ready (RR) with the final bit
set on in response to an Information frame from the host with the poll bit
on.
3. & 4. SDLCPS.NLM has been modified to respond correctly to a TEST frame
and to prevent two UA frames from being sent.
5. DBA.NLM has been modified to correct a timing related problem.
To apply PTF 317
Copy the new DBA.NLM and SDLCPS.NLM over the same named files in the
NetWare for SAA directory. No reconfiguration is necessary
