FIX: The SnaBase service unexpectedly stops when you are running a CPI-C application on a Host Integration Server-based system


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

On a Microsoft Host Integration Server-based system, the SnaBase service unexpectedly stops when a Common Programming Interface for Communications (CPI-C) application is started. This problem occurs if the Host Integration Server configuration includes more than 454 CPI-C Symbolic Destination Names.

When this problem occurs, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

snabase.exe - Application Error

The instruction at Memory Address 1 referenced memory at Memory Address 2.

The memory could not be "read".

Cause

Host Integration Server includes some conflicting CPI-C Symbolic Destination Name limits. The Host Integration Server management utilities let you create 481 CPI-C Symbolic Destination Names. However, this number exceeds the limits in other areas of the product. Therefore, you experience the problem that is mentioned in the "Symptom" section when you run a CPI-C application that has more than 454 CPI-C Symbolic Destination Names defined in the Host Integration Server configuration.
