APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
At this point, I suspect that the "***Error: received unsupported Counter/Gauge attribute size: 1" messages mentioned by the customer are just a downstream side effect of the malformed OIDs that UA is trying to retrieve. The first order of business is to fix the variable instance problem that's causing BESSYSHEALTHTABLE data retrieval to fail.
Local fix
comment out OID causing problem.
Problem summary
For some SNMP OID trees, the OIDs pertaining tablular instances of a SNMP table can cause incorrect parsing by UA SNMP data provider. Typical user experience will be successful processing and display of first N instances of an SNMP table, followed by recurring errors in UA trace log; these errors are due to SNMP data provider attempting to process N +1, N +2, ... instances of the SNMP table, but these N+ instances are not valid OIDs. UA "NoSuchName" trace message of following form will appear in UA trace logs. *****SNMP response error status received - <some_SNMP_OID> <NoSuchName> MIB attribute <some_SNMP_variable_name>
Problem conclusion
The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance vehicle: | interim fix | 6.1.0.7-TIV-ITM-IF0001 Note: Search the IBM technical support web site for maintenance package availability.
