ProcOps SNMP Sessions

When an SNMP (TCP/IP) connection is established to a SE/HMC, ProcOps uses the session parameter: HWMCA_TOLERATE_LOST_EVENTS. This setting makes sure that a session is not terminated by the console application (HWMCA) if the IP stack of the SE/HMC can no longer send events (CI or others) due to a negative send response returned from the ProcOps FP IP stack.

In this case the event is discarded, but the session remains operational. Without this parameter, the session would terminate, the events would be discarded, and the session would have to be restarted. For more information about the session parameters refer to IBM Z® SNMP Application Programming Interfaces.
