The information in this article applies to:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The SNA Server 4.0 CPI-C Programmer's Guide online Help incorrectly documents
the "LocalLU" registry parameter for both the SNA Server Microsoft Windows NT
client and SNA Server Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98 client. The
Windows NT client and Windows 9x client are documented as follows:

  Location in Windows NT registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNABase \Parameters
  TPname:REG_SZ:localLUalias

  Location in Windows 9x registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNABase \Parameters
  TPname:REG_SZ:localLUalias

However, the correct syntax for the SNA Server Microsoft Windows NT client is as
follows:

  Location in Windows NT registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNABase\Parameters
  \Client <exename>:REG_SZ:localLUalias

Note that EXENAME is the CPI-C program name (Win32 executable name). For example,
to force the APING sample program to use a Local LU alias of "LOCAL", the
registry setting should be specified as follows:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SnaBase\Parameters
  \Client APING:REG_SZ:LOCAL

Location in Windows 9x registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SnaBase\Parameters \Client
  <exename>:REG_SZ:localLUalias

RESOLUTION
==========
