This message gives a textual description of the error code in message SNM045I and SNM046I. The following is a list of errors and actions:

Bad value:

A Set request was issued for a variable, but the value specified to set the variable was out of range or had incorrect syntax.

General error:

The agent detected an error other than one of the indicated errors. If this message was received in response to a Get request for one of the enterprise-specific 3172 variables at a VM or MVS™ SNMP agent, the TCP/IP virtual machine console (on VM) or address space output file (on MVS) should have additional error messages.

I⁄O error:

An Input⁄Output error occurred. If this message appeared in response to a PING request, check that the name of the SNMP query engine address space is authorized to use RAW sockets.

Illegal request:

An incorrect request was received. Contact the IBM® software support center.

No error:

The request was completed successfully with no detected errors.

No response:

The SNMP query engine sent a request to an SNMP agent, but no response was received. Check that the route to the specified host is available and that the SNMP agent was started.

No such filter:

An SNMP TRAPSOFF command was issued for a trap filter ID, but the specified trap filter ID does not exist.

No such name:

The SNMP request sent to the agent contained a request for a variable that the SNMP agent does not support.

Out of memory:

The SNMP query engine address space ran out of memory. Restart SQESERV with a larger region size. If the error persists, contact the IBM software support center.

Protocol error:

A protocol error occurred. Contact the IBM software support center.

Read only:

A Set request was issued for a variable, but the SNMP agent did not allow write access to the variable.

Too big:

When the SNMP agent was generating the SNMP response PDU, the total length of all the requested variables and their values was too large for the response PDU. This happens when multiple variables, each with a large value, are requested on the same SNMP request PDU. To recover from this error, break the SNMP request into many smaller requests, and reissue the SNMP commands.

Too many elements:

An SNMP command was issued with more than 10 MIB variables requested. A maximum of 10 variable names and values can be specified in one SNMP command. Issue the variable names using multiple SNMP commands instead of one.

Unknown host:

The SNMP command specified a host name that could not be resolved into an IP address. Check that the host name was entered correctly. Check that the SNMP query engine can reach the domain name server or has access to the HOSTS.INFO data set (whichever is used for name resolution). Check that the host name is specified correctly at the domain name server or in the HOSTS.LOCAL data set.

Unknown variable:

An SNMP command was entered with a MIB variable that was specified in textual form. The variable could not be found in the hlq.MIB@DESC.DATA data set. Check that the variable name was entered correctly. Add the variable to the hlq.MIB@DESC.DATA data set, if necessary.
