APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When executing the "trapdest add" command the agent locks while trying to resolve the supplied name via DNS. This can cause an unacceptable delay if the name is invalid as we have to wait for a DNS timeout.
Local fix
Problem summary
When you execute the SSM console commands, "trapdest add <host>..." or "trapdest addtarget <name> <host>...." it attempts to resolve the <host> using DNS. This will cause unacceptable delays if the host is invalid as it blocks waiting for the DNS to timeout. The agent appears to hang during this period will not respond to any get/set request until the DNS has timed out.
Problem conclusion
Fixed so that the SSM console commands "trapdest add <host>.." and "trapdest addtarget <name> <host>..." will immediately return and execute the DNS request in the background. If <host> doesn't resolve and isn't an IP address the SSM will print out the error message "Invalid host name or IP address: <host>". Note: That this could appear several commands later( after the DNS timeout period has elapsed). Accessing the agent via other means no longer hangs.
