6148.0. "Problem exporting private MIB variables (DEC)" by ISIDRO::LUISGON () Wed Oct 26 1994 11:29

    I am trying to export some data from some SNMP entities to RDB.
    
    I export some private MIB variables of FDDI concentrators and bridges:
    
    counters for entries in those table:
    
    SNMP * dec ema decMIBextension elanext ebridge ebrInterfaces ebrIfTable
    SNMP * dec ema decMIBextension elanext ebridge ebrInterfaces ebrIffddiTable
    SNMP * dec ema decMIBextension elanext ebridge ebrInterfaces ebrIfethTable
    
    The export works, but I only get one table created:
    
    SQL> show tables
    User tables in schema with filename
    MCCENDESA_DISK:[MCCENDESA.MCCEXPORT]MCC_EXPORT.RDB
         MCC_BRIDGE
         MCC_BRIDGE_LINE
         MCC_BRIDGE_LINE_REP01
         MCC_NODE4
         MCC_NODE4_CIRCUIT
         MCC_NODE4_LINE
         MCC_SNMP
         MCC_SNMP_FDDI_FDDIM_FDDIM_FDDIM
         MCC_SNM_DEC_EMA_DEC_EL_EB_EB_EB        <<<<
         MCC_TRANSLAN
         MCC_TRANSLAN_LINE
    
    This table corresponds to the first "export". I have been looking at
    the log files of the export batch processess, and everything seems to
    be OK ("Exporting completed" for all of them)
    
    A shot in the dark: Since the 31 name for the table is automatically
    generated from the entity name, and in the three cases it is quite
    similar, could this be a bug ?
        
    We are stuck in a customer project because of that, so any help would
    be greatly appreciated
    
    Regards

Well, I'd call it a feature ;-)  There is not much that could be done
about it aside from changing the 'name translator' routine to a more
intelligent algorithm - which might break on other name constructs. You
should escalate the problem so that engineering is aware of it.

    Well, a little too late for a reply, but thanks a lot anyway
    
    BTW, as a workaround what I did was to export each partition to a
    different RDB, and in this case the export is OK. Obviously this
    complicates a bit the reports, but not too much
