Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Install Actions

The SNMP attributes file (QUSRSYS/QATOSCFG) gets cleared at first touch after installing release 7.2 over a pre-7.1 release (there is no problem installing 7.2 over 7.1). PTF SI57890 has been created to address the problem, however, one of following actions must still be taken:
  • Make sure that the SNMP server is not going to be auto-started by either TCP/IP, startup-program, or an SNMP-based application. After the upgrade, load and apply PTF SI57890. Then the SNMP server can be started and/or changed to auto-start in the future using the Change SNMP Attributes (CHGSNMPA) command.
  • Backup the QUSRSYS/QATOSCFG file prior to the install, perform the install to 7.2, end the SNMP server, load and apply PTF SI57890, restore the file from backup, and then start the SNMP server.
