Enabling SNMP engine update automation

To create the probe tools for engine update automation, perform the following steps:

  1. After installation, run the following command:

    $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_sql -server server_name -user user_name -password password < mttrapd_create_SnmpActionTools.sql

    This command performs the following tasks:

    • Adds the two columns SNMPAction and SNMPError to alerts.status.
    • Creates the trigger group mttrapd_triggers.
    • Creates the trigger mttrapd_set_engine_correction.
    • Creates the procedure mttrapd_engine_command.
  2. Set the probe property EngineInfoProbeWatch to 1.
  3. Activate the Process Agent (PA).
    Now when the PA receives commands issued from the mttrapd_set_engine_correction ObjectServer trigger, the PA log will contain messages of the following type:
