Hello All, I have a customer running HIS 2004 on Windows 2003 that I need to migrate to a supported platform. I am assuming Windows 2012 R2 and HIS 2013. I am looking for any guidance on how to upgrade from HIS 2004 to HIS 2013, any conversion utilities, known upgrade path, gotchas to look out for?
Best Regards
Hello Technet,
I have the following setup :
I've encouterd a problem while starting the Microsoft SNA manager tool on the secundairy server. When pressing the button for the manager tool it just do's nothing (No errors in eventlog), except for adding an instance of MMC.EXE in task manager. When opening MMC and then add the Snapin "Sna manager", after the selection of the config file locaiton MMC.exe hungs and i am forced to kill it.
I've checked the folder rights, services and their service accounts and so far i can see everything is the same as the primairy HIS server.
Both servers are functioning correctly, all prints are printing as they should. I can change the settings within SNA manager on the primairy server but it just bugs me why sna manager wont work on the secondairy server :(. I guess the config file is currupt or something.
My question is,what is the best practice ? Is it possible to copy the COM.CFG file from the primairy server to the secondairy server and overwrite it without any problems? Or shall i rename the COM.OLD to COM.CFG so that the old config ( 2 days older so it's no problem ) will be the main config file, and should i do this on the primairy server aswell ?
Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
while conducting the SNA server stress test, we found two warning message was logged in the windows event log:-
1. First Warning Message
Event ID: 14 (Critical Buffer Congestion)
Source: SNA IP-DLC Link Service
Cause: The Buffer Manager Monitor detected critical buffer congestion. This condition can occur if the node receives a large, sudden burst of data traffic on several sessions.
Effect: The IP-DLC link service will throttle back session traffic by withholding pacing responses or resetting pacing windows on adaptive-paced sessions until the congestion has reduced.
Action: The condition should clear itself automatically, but if it occurs frequently, it may indicate that the node is routing more sessions than it can handle efficiently with the available buffer storage. Investigate system load.
2. Second Warning Message
Event ID: 15 (Buffer Congestion Relieved)
Source: SNA IP-DLC Link Service
Cause: Buffer congestion relieved.
Effect: The IP-DLC link service will stop throttling back session traffic. If the congestion eases further then the IP-DLC link service will start to increase pacing windows on adaptively paced sessions.
Action: If buffer congestion occurs frequently, it may indicate that the node is routing more sessions than it can handle efficiently with the available buffer storage. Investigate system load.
Any possible way to reproduce this symptoms so that we can write the code to handle this scenario?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hi,
We have his2000 ( win2003) running TN3270 that we want to upgrade to his2009 ( win 2008 )
I try to replace the COM.CFG file and to do backup and restore configuration . the configuration is move but when i click the LU TN3270 the mmc crash on faulting module MFC80.DLL.
How can i migrate the configuration?
Thanks,
Eyal
Hi,
we have numerous TN3270 servers, we have developped a windows service to handle printing via LU0, this service handle thousands of LU0 and works for years it was upgraded thru various versions of HIS
Everything is ok with HIS2010 on 2K8R2, the service handle all the LU0
but we have troubles with HIS2010 CU9, a large majority of LU0 are not activated, no error messages, simply no response to the INIT verb, running the service in debug mode, i.e. slowing the LU0 opening rate solve the trouble but not suitable for production
servers
Is it a known problem ?

Hi - I need some advise about moving HIS 2006 server from 2003 32bit server to a 2008 32bit server on a VMware environment
We have VMware cloned our current 2 HIS 2006 servers and upgraded the clone to 2008 standard server
I'd like to rename the new cloned host names back to the original HIS servers once we power them off, but to do so I will need to delete the Active Directory object for it to be recreated when renaming the clones... Since HIS creates various AD objects, I'm not sure whether this process will break anything or if there are any references to GUIDs that may break as well
Current HIS:
serverA & serverB in subdomain 'production'
Cloned HIS:
serverAclone & serverBclone in subdomain 'production'
serverAclone will be renamed to serverA
serverBclone will be renamed to serverB
I'm hoping the above will be fine as currently the clones will not start up the SNABase or SNAserver as it see's the original servers as still being active.
Thank you.
Hi all, we're having problems with the Allocate verb when opening a connection.
Current setup is Windows 2008 Server R2 / HIS 2013
We're accesing via APPC from a 32 bits application.
We create an ALLOCATE message, send it through APPC() which returns primary_rc != AP_OK
Then we call GetAppcReturnCode() and get the following message: "Allocate verb has completed with primary return code Unsuccessful"
Is there any way to get further info on that? or some documentation? I've been searching online but can't seem to find anything related, looks like it's a problem with this client's specific installation.
Thanks!
I have taken over a project for a company where they use HIS 2009 to connect a .Net application (website) to a government mainframe computer (IBM). This communication is through tn3270 emulation and involves screen scraping the resulting IBM screens that are returned (take data at specific rows and columns off the terminal emulation screens). The .Net application uses HIS functionality (SessionConnectionDisplay ...), to communicate with the IBM.
The government wants to stop using SNA for price reasons, and perform this 3270 communication using TCP\IP solely. I can use a standalone terminal emulation application (VistaTN) to connect to the IBM just fine right now, using new LUs that were given to me.
But for the Web application that uses HIS and .Net, I'm not seeing that I can create a raw TCP\IP connection without going through SNA. Questions.
1. Can HIS communicate with this IBM through TCP\IP alone, and not require the IBM side to support SNA?
2. If so, what do I need to change (install) on the HIS computer to accomplish this? I'm seeing snadlc1 as the sole link service the system has. Is there another service that's strictly TCP\IP based?
3. This raw TCP\IP connection must use SSL3. Is that going to be a problem?
4. This is probably not going to help, but I am able to make a connection through the .Net app using the new LUs that were given to me by the government IBM people. But I can see that when my app connects, the connection shows up under an old (SNA based) LU, and not the new LU that I know I connected with. For example, if I connect with an LU of RMA2MVPR (the new LU we're supposed to use), the terminal says I connected with RNA2MVPR (the old LU that is going away). I found this odd, and maybe this isn't helpful.
The main question is can HIS meet my needs (connect without SNA and be SSL3). But if it can, any help setting this up (installing or configuring something) would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Jon Fernandez
I am having trouble getting my .NET application communicate with HIS 2010.
With HIS 2013 I used a myapp.exe.config file to indicate the Remote Environment name, the local and remote LU names, and that TI object name.
HIS 2010 seems to be much different. It doesn't recognize my configuration file. I tried creating a dynamic RE with the clientcontext, but that's failing too.
What am I missing?
Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to connect to multiple CICS regions from BizTalk Server where in the request XML I will receive CICS region as a parameter, Based on that I need to route the message to the respective CICS region. How can I create a connection to multiple CICS regions in TI and at BizTalk send port using single Hostapplication (and .net client library).
Right now we are using HIS 2010 , using transaction integrator and window initiated processing we are able to connect CICS region but only one region at at time.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Due to this program my computer is running very hot. It takes most of the CPU usage. It automatically starts running in few min as soon as I start my computer.
Please provide solution as soon as possible. I can not do my work properly.
Best Regards,
In a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013 I opened SNA Manager. Then, I expand theLocal APPC LU node to view the status of the active Local Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) Logical Units (LUs). I notice that the SNA Manager isnot updating the status for an active Local APPC LU under the following column: "User Name", "Client" and "Exe Name". Below is an example of what we are receiving:
Partner LU Mode User Name Client More Limit Exe Name
Remote1 QPCSUPP <not in user> n/a 64 n/a
Remote2 QPCSUPP <not in user> n/a 64 n/a
Remote3 QPCSUPP <not in user> n/a 64 n/a
Does anyone have any sample C# code for interacting with APPC? Specifically, I am trying to make calls to the WinAsyncAPPC method. I am a newbie at this trying to help out some of my BizTalk coworkers. Any help is appreciated.
I tried Zpanel on my laptop and it change the path of Mysql on Xampp server and refused start after deleting the Zpanel.
And Mysql is still retaining the Zpanel Mysql path and have refused to start. I don't know what to do. I have a lot to complete before Friday. Please HELP!
I'm new to this forum, I took several dayswith this issue and can't find nothingin the documentation, so I write in this forumif someone can help me.
We have installed HIS 2013 (Server Component) on a new Windows Server 2012 R2
I've import the WIP Definitions from the old HIS2006 server.
With the old TIManager tool, I defined a TI object (TI metadata file) to the WIP environment.
E.g: We specified the following settings:
HIS 2004.Net Objects:
TCP_LinkELM_NET.CedarBank.1
Hosted by: Default Web Site/TIServices (ASP .NET worker process)IIS virtual directory /Service:Remoting only
Remote Environment: CIC1Test
This process created a WIP Objects in my Virtual directory:TCP_LinkELM_NET.CedarBank_Proxy.dll
After, I added the reference of the new object generated (TCP_LinkELM_NET.CedarBank_Proxy.dll) in my development environment, in another server where I have installed HIS Client components and features
Now, with the new TIConfigurationTool, when I add a WIP object I can’t define Environment Characteristics for the .NET Object to define the IIS Virtual Directory in which Transaction Integrator should run.
Therefore I cannot refer to the new WIP object from my application.
If testing directly from the HIS Server, all my connection to CICS works OK, but if testing from my development environment,throws this error:
The type initializer for 'Microsoft.HostIntegration.TI.TBGen' threw an exception.
{"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.HostIntegration.TI.PerformanceCounters, Version=9.0.1000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. “}
Could you please let me how do I getnow theWIPobjectwiththeEnvironment Characteristicsneeded to connect to the remote Mainframe?
Thank you,
Belen
Hi All,
We got a documentation from third party and created an application in HIS 2010 using the following steps:
To access the TI Manager click Start, point toAll Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems 2.0, and then clickTI Manager
On the Create an Application Screen
Now we have to create the same thing in Host Integration 2013 but there is no Transaction Integrator in 2013 instead there is Transaction Configuration Tool.
I do not have any knowledge of HIS.Can somebody please explain how to create the similar HIP in 2013?
I couldn't find the same steps in Transaction Configuration Tool of HIS 2013 in fact I didn't find the Computer node and there is no "Application Deployment Wizard".
Please help.
Thanks,

Hello,
In my project I need to select the RemoteEnvironment.
First I'm trying to follow the WcfService solution provided by Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013 SDK v1.0, but doesn't work the ClientContext class when I want to change the RemoteEnvironment. These lines are added to the program.cs class, but does not work, the result is the same in both cases, just take the remoteEnvironment Name that isDefault = "true" in app.config file:
ClientContext clientContext = newClientContext();
clientContext.RemoteEnvironment = "ELM Link RE 1";
accountBalance = proxy.GetBalance("Kim Akers", "123456");
clientContext.RemoteEnvironment = "ELM Link RE 2 ";
accountBalance = proxy.GetBalance("Kim Akers", "123456");
I would appreciate any help,

Hi. I am looking to upgrade some old SNA boxes to new H/W and HIS 2013.
When upgrading to HIS 2013, do I need to ensure that all SNA clients are upgraded also or is HIS 2013 compatible with earlier SNA clients?
Many thanks.
