Using CAPOLY$TRAP

Using CAPOLY$TRAP

CAPOLY$TRAP is equivalent to CATRAP on other CA NSM platforms. To use CAPOLY$TRAP, the following steps are required:

Define a foreign symbol:
```
catrap :== $capoly$bin:capoly$trap
```
Arguments of CAPOLY$TRAP:

Value	Usage	Description
destination-node	destination-node	Target system for the message
enterprise	enterprise	OID for your enterprise
agent-addr	agent-addr	Address of the agent
generic-trap	generic-trap	Trap type
specific-trap	specific-trap	Specific trap type
time-stamp	time-stamp	Time of message
-d	[-d]	Hex dump of packet
-v	[-v]	Verbose output
-t	[-t timeout]	Overrides default timeout, where timeout identifies the new timeout
-r	[-r retries]	Overrides default number of tries, where retries identifies the new number of retries
-p	[-p port]	Identifies the port to use instead of 162, where port identifies the new port
-c	[-c community]	Overrides default community string, where community identifies the new community string

Note: You can make enterprise, agent-addr, and time stamp default by using a null (“”) string.

For example:

catrap hosta 1.3.6.1.4.1.791.2.8.2.2.2  "" 6 2 "" 
1.3.6.1.4.1.791.2.8.2.2.2.1 octetstring “My string A”
1.3.6.1.4.1.791.2.8.2.2.2.1 octetstring “My String B”

Notes:

The enterprise OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.791 is CA OID. You must not use this OID as part of your application. Using CA or another organization's OID might cause management applications that use SNMP traps to behave in an undetermined manner.
If your organization does not have an Enterprise OID, you can obtain one from the Internet Numbers Authority by sending an email to iana@isi.edu.

Configuring Message Timeouts

For Windows

The Registry value MsgTimeout is the lifetime (timeout) in seconds for outgoing CAM messages. It allows you to control message timeout according to your network capabilities. The default value is 10 seconds. The parent Registry key is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\UNIVMS

On OpenVMS

The logical name UNIVMS_MSG_TIMEOUT is the lifetime (timeout) in seconds for outgoing CAM messages. It allows you to control message timeout according to your network capabilities. The default value is 10 seconds. To change the value, edit SYS$STARTUP:CAPOLY$STARTUP.COM. Remove the comment from the line that defines the logical name. Change the value as desired and save the changes.
