Tips to find SNMP MIB attributes for GETRAW queries

The ISQCCMD common command GETRAW is a fast low-level programming interface to retrieve CPC and CPC image (LPAR) information from the SE or HMC console. It uses an active ProcOps SNMP connection and returns the data as a sequence of hexadecimal values. Refer to the Operator's Commands manual or the SA z/OS online help for detailed information about ISQCCMD, the GETRAW common command, and the supported parameters.

Use the following information to find the object attribute information to set up your queries. It is recommended that you have a basic understanding of SNMP MIB variables and object IDs.

Member INGEI007 in the SA z/OS sample library illustrates with several ISQCCMD GETRAW calls how this programming interface can be used with REXX. Various attributes are retrieved in the samples.

The IBM Z CPC and CPC image MIB variables with their object IDs and suffixes are all documented in the IBM Z SNMP Application Programming Interfaces (SB10-7171-xx) publication, available from IBM Resource Link.
