Starting and Stopping the Trap Multiplexer
If you omit the -k startup parameter, the subagent tries to establish lost
connections every 15 minutes.
To change the time interval after the Trap Multiplexer is started, set the value of
ztmxProcKeepAliveTimer in the ztmxProcess group.
-o
causes the Trap Multiplexer to write a formatted trace of its activities to the
terminal or to a Spooler destination. By default, trace information is sent to the
terminal from which the Trap Multiplexer was started. To send the information
to a Spooler destination, specify the destination as a TACL RUN option:
RUN SNMPTMUX /NAME $ZTMX, OUT $S.#OUT, NOWAIT/ -o
Spooler information is formatted as a C language-compatible file (file code
180), which you can convert to an edit file (file code 101) or use directly from
any utility program.
If you want a second copy of the log file, you can also use the -l startup
parameter.
Use of this startup parameter slows Trap Multiplexer processing time because
a high volume of trace information is produced. In addition, the Trap
Multiplexer might miss some traps.
-l log-file
causes the Trap Multiplexer to write a formatted trace of its activities to a C
language-compatible disk file (file code 180), which you can convert to an edit
file (file code 101) or use directly from any utility program.
If you want a second copy of the log file, you can also use the -o startup
parameter.
Use of this startup parameter slows Trap Multiplexer processing time because
a high volume of trace information is produced. In addition, the Trap
Multiplexer might miss some traps.
-x
enables Trap Multiplexer to run independently of the SNMP agent. This option
has priority over the -a start-up option. If you specify both options, the -a
option is ignored.
Using this option suppresses the access to the MIBs maintained by Trap
Multiplexer and allows it to receive only the traps.
To stop the Trap Multiplexer process, provide its name in the TACL STOP command:
STOP $ZTMX
