Douglas, thanks for the quick response. I installed the IX82898 APAR and it
fixed the
problem.
In response to the performance improvement, I updated my snmpCollect
configuration,
resumed
collections, and was able to see data in minutes rather than hours. Nice work!
I must
say the level of support I receive from Tivoli (Walt and Arthur of level3 in
particular) has been outstanding. Kudos!
