SNA Manager Fails to Display Status for Dependent APPC LUs

SYMPTOMS
SNA Server Manager fails to display the User Name and Client for an APPC or
CPIC application that is using a dependent LU6.2 session. Instead, the
status information displays as:
User Name: <Not In Use>
Client: <n/a>
CAUSE
The problem with the dependent LU occurs because the session is created
before there is an internal user record. Normally, internal user records
are created first. When Manage is notified of an APPC session, it matches
the data with an existing user record. In this case it fails to find a
match.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server 3.0 and 3.0
Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, Manage periodically refreshes the APPC
session data so that after the user record is created, Manage gets the new
APPC session info, and is able to match it with the user record.
