Agent MIB Files

Agent Technology for z/OS no longer supplies the MIB files for most of the z/OS-based agents. Each agent installation provides the MIB file for the agent installed. We recommend that you copy these files into the CCS MIBLIB when the agent is installed by using the AWADDMIB sample in CCS CAW0JCL library. The AWADDMIB sample adds the new agent MIB into the SMP/E environment as a ++USERMOD, which allows you to use the standard Agent Technology 'install_mibs' script whenever the Agent Technology Object Store is cleared and rebuilt.

Use a unique USERMOD name for each Agent MIB. Ensure that the REWORK date is accurate. Thus, the SMP/E environment for AT reflects the latest MIB for each Agent.

To work outside of SMP/E to install the agent MIB, edit the $AGENTWORKS_DIR/services/tools/install_mibs script to point to the agent MIBLIB as the source of the MIB to load into the aws_sadmin store.
