SYMPTOMS
========

1. SNA Server Did Not Support the Local LU Syncpoint Option

  SYMPTOMS

  SNACFG does not support "Use Client/Server Encryption" flag for Local APPC
  LUs.

  RESOLUTION

  A fix is available to correct this problem. The syntax is:

  SNACFG [#configpath] User <username> /add /syncpoint: yes | no

  It also works with /print.


2. "Use Client/Server Encryption" Not Supported Using /Print Option

  SYMPTOMS

  The following command does not display the "Use Client/Server Encryption" flag
  for users or user groups:

  SNACFG [#configpath] User <username> /Print

  RESOLUTION A fix is available to correct this problem.


3. Session Level Security Settings Not Supported

  SYMPTOMS

  SNACFG does not support the APPCRLU session-level security options.

  RESOLUTION

  A fix is available to correct this problem. The following is the syntax:

  SNACFG APPCRLU /SECURITY:{ None,text | Hex,text | Char,text }

  It also works with /print.


4. MaxSendRU is Displayed Three Times When Using Mode Option

  SYMPTOMS

  The following command will display the MaxSendRU value three times in error:

  c:> snacfg mode <modename> /print

  RESOLUTION A fix is available to correct this problem.


5. Deleting User Without DomainName May Delete Wrong User

  SYMPTOMS

  Snacfg.exe allows the deletion of users without specifying the domainname. The
  following command deletes the first user named Fred that it finds:

  c:> snacfg user Fred /delete

  RESOLUTION A fix is available to correct this problem.


6. SNACFG Connection Command Problems

  SYMPTOMS

  When using the connection option of SNACFG, you have the following results:

   - The XID parameter is not output by /PRINT.

   - If a connection is set to use XID0, restoring the config via SNACFG will
     set it to XID3.

   - The remote end parameter is not preserved. The /PRINT converts peer to
     host. After restoring the config, downstream is converted to peer.

  RESOLUTION A fix is available to correct this problem.


7. SNACFG Doesn't Support Different LOCAL Network Name and Control Point Name
  for Each Connection

  SYMPTOMS

  SNACFG doesn't support different LOCAL Network Name and Control Point Name for
  each connection.

  RESOLUTION

  A fix is available to correct this problem.

  The following command allows a Local Network Name and Control Point Name to be
  added for each connection:

  c:> snacfg [#configpath] connection <connectionname> /netname
  /cpname
