IBM manual c configurationfile, IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Adapters Guide

–dStarts the adapter in debug mode. This argument prevents the daemon from forking itself.

–cconfiguration_file

Specifies the location of the configuration file.

If –cis not specified, then the adapter searches

$TECADHOME/etc/tecad_snmp.conf if the environment variable TECADHOME is set, or /etc/Tivoli/tecad/etc/tecad_snmp.conf for the configuration file.

2.Make sure that there are no other processes such as SNMP or ovtrapd already listening on port 162. Use netstat –a grep 162 to see if this port is in use. The first process to start up gets the port and the other processes that follow never receive events from that port.

3.Use snmptrap or the Tivoli Distributed Monitoring wsnmptrap commands to send events to the adapter for testing.

4.Change all /dev/null entries in the .err file to the file name you want. Stop and restart the adapter, send an event through, and then look in the trace file to see what processing was done on the event.
