• ITXCQ - ITX00061124
  TR / TR
  Circumvention: Edit the snmpagent.sh script and locate the
  section of this script that has the following content (near the
  bottom of the file):
  
  # For debugging purposes uncomment the one of the next two lines
  and comment the following one
  #        $JAVA $SNMPAGENT_LOG_PROP_FILE_DEFINE -DINFO_ALL
    com.ibm.snmpagent.websphere.dtx.core.DstxSNMPA
  #        $JAVA $SNMPAGENT_LOG_PROP_FILE_DEFINE -DINFO_MISC
    com.ibm.snmpagent.websphere.dtx.core.DstxSNMPA
         $JAVA $SNMPAGENT_LOG_PROP_FILE_DEFINE -DINFO_ADAPTOR_SNMP
  
  Edit these three (3) $JAVA entries to be
  
  #        $JAVA $SNMPAGENT_LOG_PROP_FILE_DEFINE -DINFO_ALL
    com.ibm.websphere.dtx.snmpagent.core.DstxSNMPA
  #        $JAVA $SNMPAGENT_LOG_PROP_FILE_DEFINE -DINFO_MISC
    com.ibm.websphere.dtx.snmpagent.core.DstxSNMPA
         $JAVA $SNMPAGENT_LOG_PROP_FILE_DEFINE -DINFO_ADAPTOR_SNMP
    com.ibm.websphere.dtx.snmpagent.core.DstxSNMPA
