Send an SNMP trap reliably to a NetView host

Generates an SNMP trap and sends it to a specified NetView® host using a TCP/IP connection to the host. If delivery of the SNMP trap fails, a message is posted in the history log of the system.

Requirements
The NetView product must be installed on the specified system.
Result
The specified NetView system receives the SNMP trap. If delivery of the SNMP trap fails, a message is written to the specified system's history log. The failure information can be retrieved from the management server system log using the lsevtacthist command-line command. For more information, see "lsevtacthist command."
Example
If you are using the NetView product to monitor your systems, use this event action to send or reroute specific events from IBM® Systems Director Server to your NetView host. Then, you can view these specific events on your NetView console.
