Hello All,
I want create a alert mechanism for the system which I am working.Basically if any data inconsistency issues found, it should create a alert.
In some of the forums I came to know about SNMP traps.I got below code to raise SNMP trap,
ADDRESS TNG "SNMPTRAP HOST(HostName|*) [COMMUNITY(CommunityName)]
GTRAP(GenericTrapNum)
STRAP(SpecificTrapNum)
DATA(RexxVar)"
I want to know that whether I can execute the above code from REXX module. Is any other way to execute SNMP trap from mainframe?.Anyone has sample code for SNMPTRAP, I am confused with value for parameters,
GTRAP(GenericTrapNum)
STRAP(SpecificTrapNum)
Regards,
Bipin Peter |

| Does your site have the z/OS Communications Server SNMP agent running on your LPAR? If not, what do you expect to trap? Configuring the SNMP agent is a task for your site support group, so if it is not running (or to find out if it is running), contact your site support group. |

| @ Robert : - Is any way we can verify whether SNMP agent is running on LAPR without contacting site support group? |

for what reason people asking on forums are afraid to contact their support ???
if the requirement has been approved by management, no reason to be afraid to ask |

From my experience: 80%-90% of responding messages from support usually include only two to three recommendations:
- Please provide us with all screenshots
- (optional) Upgrade to the latest version
- Reboot

| There is NO way to determine whether or not it is running without contacting your site support group. The default name is OSNMPD but this can be changed by the site support group. SNMP is considered to be part of the Communications Server by IBM, so it starts as part of the TCP/IP start up. And if it does not currently start up, then to get it running requires changing TCP/IP parameters -- a task almost always limited to the site support group. Furthermore, there are some security implications to SNMP that must be considered for the site, so attempting to set up SNMP without involving your site support group is a risky activity that may lead to management action up to and including termination of the employee. |

"Rebooting" a mainframe is a non-trivial procedure. Much easier to do with a toy computer, of course, but I doubt that rebooting his workstation is going to do diddly for the TS's problem. Likewise, he won't have the authority to upgrade SNMP. |
