SNMPTRAP.DEST search order

The search order for accessing SNMPTRAP.DEST is as follows. The first file found in the search order is used.

  1. The name of a z/OS® UNIX file or an MVS™ data set specified by the SNMPTRAP_DEST environment variable
  2. /etc/snmptrap.dest z/OS UNIX file
  3. The data set specified on SNMPTRAP DD statement in the agent procedure
  4. jobname.SNMPTRAP.DEST, where jobname is the name of the job used to start the SNMP agent
  5. SYS1.TCPPARMS(SNMPTRAP)
  6. hlq.SNMPTRAP.DEST, where hlq either defaults to TCPIP or is specified on the DATASETPREFIX statement in the TCPIP.DATA file being used

Verify that there is no SNMPD.CONF file. If an SNMPD.CONF file is found, the SNMPTRAP.DEST file is not used.
