This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. James, as much as I appreciate your input, this was not a request for help. Thats why I opened a PMR. It doesn't really matter to me whether the mib loader supports an underscore character or not. It produces a cryptic error message resulting in lots of extra work. So I opened it with support. Thats why I pay them! It was Paul Stroud who tried the removal of the underscores. He's turned it over to backend support because he couldn't make it work either. I can't tell you the error because I didn't see it. He just said it caused additional errors when he tried it. I posted it here only as FYI for those who need to load mibs. Dont' worry, I still heed the words of the jedi mib master. -----Original Message----- From: James Shanks [mailto:jshanks@us.ibm.com] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 12:43 PM To: IBM NetView Discussion Subject: RE: [NV-L] MIB Browser and Loader for NV 7.1 -- some MIBs won't load Scott - I cannot help you if you don't explain the details.

The old code (xnmloadmib) did not enforce ASN.1 encoding standards. The new code does. And underscores are not valid for an identifier in a MIB. (Perkins and Ellis, Understanding SNMP MIBs, Prentice-Hall, 1997, p.61). Just change the underscores to hyphens and it will load fine. And it will make no difference when you query the agent because this is done by OID not the identifier.

I like the mibloader.sh - good stuff (A little slower than xnmloadmib but nothing obnoxious) *** T1S2R3V4 *** Electronic creation by customer via Tivoli Customer Support Web Site *** Please contact customer by Electronic *** *** Userid: bars02 *** Email Address: scott_barr@csgsystems.com *** Fax Number: 402-431-7413 *** 24 Hour Phone Number: *** Problem Details . Abstract: TivWeb: Unable to load mibs for web console . System Type: Sun System Model: Sunblade 100 Other related devices: . Operating System: Solaris 2.3+ Product Group: NetView for UNIX Fileset or Version: v7.1 . Environment: . Problem Description: Greetings, we are attempting to load MIBs for the Dell Openmanage connection for Tivoli NetView v1.3 The MIBs all load properly under xnmloadmib but most of them cannot be loaded on the web console due to the following typical error: ======================================================================= # mibloader.sh --load symmib.mib --commit Loading Files ........................................................................ .............................................. Parsing the loaded MIBs together with MIBs selected for loading. Processing File: symmib.mib ibm.nways.jdm.mib.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 2, column 7. Encountered: "_" (95), after : "" Errors were encountered parsing MIBs. The changes will not be committed. ======================================================================= Top Section of MIB attempting to be loaded: -- MIB generated by mibgen version 1.0 SYMMIB_MIB-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS enterprises FROM RFC1155-SMI InternationalDisplayString FROM HOST-RESOURCES-MIB OBJECT-TYPE FROM RFC-1212 Counter,Gauge, DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB Dmi_Date,Dmi_Integer64, dmiEventDateTime,dmiCompId,dmiEventSeverity, dmiEventStateKey,dmiEventAssociatedGroup, dmiEventSystem,dmiEventSubSystem FROM DMTF-DMI; ======================================================================= Notice the error message points out line 2, column 7 which, has no data in it. (Line 2 is blank) Please advise on how to get these MIBs load. The mibs can be found at: http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/download/index.asp?fileid=R34408 This file is a tar of traps and mibs for NetView AIX (we are running on Solaris) Action Taken: Sending to incoming product queue. am1108tiv Action Taken: Spoke with Customer Rep and he has several Dell mibs that are loading fine through the normal NetView mibloader GUI. But fail when using the mibloader.sh script. From some testing here it appears there is a problem with parsing the "_" character. I am not 100% sure of this. I will continue to look into this. . Action Plan: Researching. Action Taken: Attempted to get more information about the error from logging. No additional useful information was gained from there. I have both the mib file and mibloader log with debug turned on, but cannot reach dfs at this time. If you pick up this call, let me know and I'll send you the information via email. . Action Plan: Passing to the backend for further diagnosis. James,
as much as I appreciate your input, this was not a request for help. Thats why I
opened a PMR. It doesn't really matter to me whether the mib loader supports an
underscore character or not. It produces a cryptic error message resulting in
lots of extra work. So I opened it with support. Thats why I pay
them!
It was
Paul Stroud who tried the removal of the underscores. He's turned it over to
backend support because he couldn't make it work either. I can't tell you the
error because I didn't see it. He just said it caused additional errors when he
tried it. I posted it here only as FYI for those who need to load
mibs.
Dont'
worry, I still heed the words of the jedi mib master.
