APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
TCP4016 message indicated that a SNMP ColdStart trap had been
generated. However, none of the usual conditions that would
generate a ColdStart trap appear to have been met. The SNMP
server had not been ended and restarted during this period of
time.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE65860 :
-----------------------------
The method that was used to calculate the "system up time" also
known as sysUpTime was being done in a way that could lose
timestamp information and cause the agent to reset some of it's
information.  This reset would cause the coldStart trap and
MSGTCP4016 to be sent. The method used to calculate sysUpTime
has been changed to fix the calculation error, and it will no
longer reset any agent information.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE65860 :
--------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions


None.

=================================================

Before applying or removing this PTF, the SNMP server must be ended
using the command:  ENDTCPSVR *SNMP

After applying or removing this PTF, the SNMP server must be restarted
using the command:  STRTCPSVR *SNMP

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI50641 :
=================================================

SNMP should be ended prior to applying the PTF using the ENDTCPSVR
*SNMP command.

After applying the PTF, SNMP can be restarted using the STRTCPSVR *SNMP
command.

Any third party SNMP manager or agent jobs must also be ended and
restarted after applying this PTF.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI49918 :
=================================================

Before applying or removing this ptf
endtcpsvr *SNMP
After applying or removing this ptf
strtcpsvr *SNMP

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI49375 :
=================================================

The SNMP server must be ended before applying or removing this PTF
using the command ENDTCPSVR *SNMP.  After the PTF is applied or
removed, the SNMP server should be restarted using the command
STRTCPSVR *SNMP.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI46051 :
=================================================

The SNMP server must be ended with the ENDTCPSVR *SNMP command before
applying the PTF.  After applying the PTF, restart the SNMP server with
the STRTCPSVR *SNMP command.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI40847 :
=================================================

Before Applying/Removing PTF:
endtcpsvr *SNMP
endtrpmgr

After Applying/removing PTF
strtcpsvr *SMTP

If trap manager used:
strtrpmgr

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI43886 :
=================================================

SNMP and the trap manager should be ended prior to applying the PTF
using the ENDTCPSVR *SNMP and ENDTRPMGR commands.

After applying the PTF, SNMP and the trap manager can be restarted
using the STRTCPSVR *SNMP and STRTRPMGR commands.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI43043 :
=================================================

The SNMP server must be ended and restarted in order for this fix to
take effect.  In addition, trap manager applications should also be
ended and restarted.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI38048 :
=================================================

To change the way the SNMP manager performs time synchronization as
part of the authentication process, do the following:

1.  End the SNMP server:  ENDTCPSVR *SNMP

2.  Add the system wide environment variable QIBM_SNMPV3_AUTH:

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_SNMPV3_AUTH) VALUE('0') LEVEL(*SYS)

3.  Restart the SNMP server:  STRTCPSVR *SNMP

Note:  A value '0' as shown in the example is the default server
setting.  A value of '1' bypasses certain time synchronization checks
during authentication.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI37920 :
=================================================

Before applying this PTF, the SNMP server should be ended using the
following command:

ENDTCPSVR *SNMP

After applying this PTF. the SNMP server should be started using the
following command:

STRTCPSVR *SNMP
