SNMP Agent MIB Reference
INTEGER { dipin(1) | signal(2) | ignore(3) }
Default notification detection method used by the system for unsolicited messages sent to client processes. This default value can be overridden on a per-client basis using the appropriate tpinit
(3) flag value. Note that once unsolicited messages are detected, they are made available to the application through the application defined unsolicited message handling routine identified through the tpsetunsol
(3) function.
The value dipin(1)
specifies that dip-in-based notification detection should be used, which means that the system only detects notification messages on behalf of a client process while within ATMI calls. The point of detection within any particular ATMI call is not defined by the system, and dip-in detection does not interrupt blocking system calls. dipin(1)
is the default notification detection method.
The value signal(2)
specifies that signal-based notification detection should be used, which means that the system sends a signal to the target client process after the notification message has been made available. The system installs a signal catching routine on behalf of clients that select this method of notification.
Note: Run-time modifications to this object do not affect active clients. All signaling of client processes is done by administrative system processes and not by application processes. Therefore, only clients running with the same UNIX system user identifier can be notified by use of the signal(2)
method.
