SYMPTOMS
========

After you apply SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2), TN3270 users may experience
one of the following problems:

- The first TN3270 client that connects to an OnDemand connection fails. The
  connection is brought up, but the client remains in a not responding state,
  and the LU shows in SSCP state. This only affects the first client; all
  subsequent clients connect successfully. If the connection is set to Server
  Startup, everything works fine.

- If the host uses DDDLUs, TN3270 clients may display the following error
  message when they start a host session through the SNA Server TN3270 server:

  TN3270E Service Message 525

  The PU is active for LU <LU name>.

  You may continue to wait, or terminate your session.

  After the error message appears, the user may be able to obtain a host session
  by disconnecting and then reconnecting the session from within the TN3270
  emulator.
