SmartMIB Configuration returns error when clicking on 
'Create Database': Login failed for user 'sa'. 
Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.
 
This is an enhancement request to support default installations 
of MSDE or SQLServer or have the MSDE setup as part of the 
SmartMIB install and have SmartMIB generate a random 
“sa” password
Conditions
 

Default install of SQL server

Change the login mode to mixed instead of windows:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\SQLSErver\LoginMode=2

ONLY 5 concurrent Report sessions at a time; when

the user attempts to open the 6th session, nothing

happens!

SMDN531a

 

SmartMIB Database Backup excludes the essential system

components like the SOSL management scripts

Priority

 

Moderate

Component

 

Database Backup Engine (DBE)

Symptom 
SmartMIB Database Backup Engine component doesn’t perform
a backup On the SOSL management scripts residing in the 
\usr\scripts directory
Conditions 
 

During all backup operations – Immediate and scheduled

Workaround 

SOSL management scripts are not stored into the database.

Scripts are not meant to be modified very often. As new

scripts could be modified and new proprietary Reports could be

added; the administrator needs to manually perform a backup

of the contents of the \usr\scripts directory (and any other

similar directory like \usr\Reports)

 

 

Traps Receiver Package:


SMDN525a

 

Indexed Trap varbinds are not translated/formatted correctly

Priority

 

Moderate

Component

 

Traps

Symptom 
Indexed Trap varbinds are not translated correctly due to the 
index integer numbers that are associated with the varbind! 
This means that a version 1 trap will never be formatted 
(identified correctly) in the display
Conditions 
 

 

Workaround 
The network administrator should force network devices to 
send traps using SNMP version 2.

SMDN526a

 

SmartMIB service fails to start the Trap-Listener process

Priority

 

Severe

Component

 

Traps

Symptom 
On some occasions; after the installation is completed, the 
SmartMIB server fails to jump start the Trap-Listener process. 
This could be verified by checking the Traps viewer list
Conditions 
 

 

Workaround 
Start the Trap-Listener process manually by double clicking 
on the process exe file located under ROOTDIR\usr\

 

SMDN528a

 

SmartMIB service TrapListener process show as Not

Responding by the operating Systems Task Manager

Priority

 

Cosmetic

Component

 

Traps

Symptom 
SmartMIB service TrapListener process show as Not 
Responding by the operating System’s Task Manager
Conditions 
 

During normal operations

Workaround 

We would like to draw attention to the TrapListener

normal behaviour:

 

1. Once the TrapListener is started and have been seen in

the Task Manager it will be set to a sleep state if no trap is

captured within a defined timeout.

 

2. TrapListener is then set to the active (running) state 

whenever it starts updating the traps journal.

 

As for the "Not Responding" state; it should ignored.

Priority

Starting or rebooting the host server. The reason for 
this is  when the SQL Server Service is not started

Workaround 
Manually start the SmartMIB service from Start à Program à Startup
