z/OS Communications Server: IP Messages Volume 1 (EZA)
SC27-3654-00

Message bad form: form

Explanation

While decoding the presentation element for an encoded SNMP message, the SNMP Query Engine was expecting the presentation element to have a form of 1 (constructed). Instead, the SNMP Query Engine request had the indicated form. The SNMP request is discarded.

This message might also appear if VTAM® is closed before the SNMP Query Engine (SNMPQE) task is closed.

System action

Processing continues with the next request.

Operator response

Ensure that the SNMPQE task is closed before VTAM. If the error persists, contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Run traces (either the SNMP Query Engine traces or some form of LAN analyzer traces) to determine whether the encoded stream was in error or if the SNMP Query Engine was in error. If the encoded stream was in error, contact the appropriate support center for the SNMP client or agent that sent the request. If the received encoded request is correct, then the SNMP Query Engine is parsing the request incorrectly. Contact the IBM® Software Support Center.
