Configuring trap generation from Adaptive Server

The Sybase subagent allows a Sybase server to generate a trap through a
remote procedure call,

sp_errornotify

. When the remote procedure is called, a

trap is generated containing the values in its parameters.

sp_errornotify

can be

used from within any stored procedure. You may want, for example, to use this
mechanism in the implementation of your

sp_thresholdaction

actions.

To use this:

The Sybase SNMP agent contains an Open Server implementation. Add
an entry for the Sybase SNMP agent to your $SYBASE/interfaces file. Use
the rpcPort value you specified in snmpagent.cfg as its port address. The
name of the server can be any valid server name.

Add the Sybase subagent as a remote server to your Adaptive Server using

sp_addserver

. Use the same name you specified in the interfaces file entry.

You can let the server type default to Adaptive Server.

Enable

cis rpc handling

by running

sp_configure

, or issue the command

set

cis_rpc_handling

prior to the procedure call.

Issue the

sp_errornotify

procedure using this syntax:

...sp_errornotify

servername,errno,serverity,state,username,spid,

engine,msg

servername - The name of the server (@@servername)

errno - The error number (integer)

severity - The error severity (integer)

state - The error state (integer)

username - Adaptive Server user name

spid - Server process id (@@spid)

engine - The engine number (integer)

msg - The text of the error message

The values given are not validated by the SNMP agent, they are simply
converted to variables to the sybRaiseError trap defined in SYBASE-MIB.
