IC88363: INVALID VALUE FOR VARIABLE "IBMADSMSERVERSCRIPT1.1?

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.5 Fix Pack 7 (5.5.7.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Description:
  When an  attempt to modify a mib variable that's used for
  issuing commands through SNMP,  the following error is
  received::
  $ snmpinfo -m set -c private -h 127.0.0.1 \
    ibmAdsmServerScript1.1=QUERY_DB
  invalid value for variable "ibmAdsmServerScript1.1": "QUERY_DB"
  
  - snmpinfo -m get work
  
  $ snmpinfo -m get -c private -h 127.0.0.1 \
    ibmAdsmServerScript1.1
  ibmAdsmServerScript1.1 = ""
  
  The problem is that some definitions in the file adsmserv.mib
  should be defined as DisplayString instead of "OctetString" for
  DataType.
  As an OctetString, data must be entered as such i. e. the
  literal
  "QUERY_DB" must be given as a chain of ASCII codes like this:
  51:55:45:52:5b:5f:44:42. This argument (ASCII code) is accepted
  and processed
  correctly.
  

Local fix

• Changing in the mib file the DataType from OctetString to
  DisplayString will work and the data can be passed as literal
  (i.e. QUERY_DB).
  
  Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager 6.x on all platform
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics (If Applicable)
  Initial Impact: Low
  Additional Keywords:mib invalid value octetstring
  ibmAdsmServerScript1.1
