SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Exchange Connector for SNADS stops responding and messages back up
in the Readyout folder in the private information store and in the Dia2mex.in
folder. No errors are reported and CPU utilization does not increase. The
following processes are logged in the Connectivity Manager Process Manager:

  "LME-SNADS-MEXIN","RUNNING"
  "Transfer to Exchange for SNADS","Idle"
  "LME-SNADS-MEXOUT","RUNNING"
  "Transfer from Exchange for SNADS","Idle"
  "LME-SNADS-DIAMEX","RUNNING"
  "SNADS To Exchange Transform","Creating Outbound Exchange Msg"
  "LME-SNADS-OUT","RUNNING"
  "Outbound SNADS server","Idle"
  "LME-SNADS-IN","RUNNING"
  "Inbound SNADS server","Read"
  "LME-SNADS-MEXDIA","RUNNING"
  "Exchange To SNADS Transform","Reading

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur if the correlation tables have been corrupted.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, rename the SNADS (SNADS*.*) and the CT2 files (CT2*.*)
that are located in the <Exchroot>\Connect\Exchconn\Tables folder. Do not
rename the CT2 file that does not have an extension.
