SNMP Notifications

(Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) You can set up SAP Control Center X.X to include a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) plug-in that sends notifications to the configured target when the state of an SAP Mobile Server changes (that is, from running to stopped, or from stopped to running).

SNMP is the standard protocol for managing networks and exchanging messages. If the SNMP plug-in is set up for a SAP Control Center X.X, the plug-in creates notifications in response to predetermined status change events that are detected and signaled by the SAP Mobile Server code. When the plug-in generates a notification, a single copy of the notification is transmitted to each target. The SNMP notification target must be the host name and port of a network monitoring station (NMS) that has the ability to process SNMP notifications; SAP Mobile Platform does not include this functionality. Targets and other notification configuration information are read when the SAP Control Center X.X is initialized; therefore, you must stop and restart the agent when enabling SNMP.
