IV68690: NCO_P_SYNTAX NEEDS TO CHECK FOR PROBE-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS

Direct links to fixes

APAR status

Closed as new function.

Error description

nco_p_syntax fails to parse rules containing probe-specific
functions, such as those from the SNMP probe (snmpget, snmpset,
...)

The syntax probe needs new function to learn about
probe-specific functions so that it is able to parse them

Local fix

Problem conclusion

Added new function to allow nco_p_syntax to identify and
validate probe-specific rules functions.  This requires a fix to
nco_p_syntax, as well as a fix to the SNMP probe, nco_p_mttrapd.

Temporary fix
