Resolution

The Workload Automation DE (dSeries) is capable of sending several types of notifications when job is in specific state.  This allows users to get notified about the jobs status and can intervene if any action is needed.

1. Setup the WA Agent to be able to forward and send the traps to SNMP manager. Add the management plugin related parameters in the agentparm.txt. For example;
    
   plugins.start_internal_6=management
   management.snmp.community=<public | private>
   management.snmp.host=<IP/host of SNMP>
   management.snmp.mibfile=<path to  CA WA Agent install>\cybermation.mib>
   management.snmp.port=162
   
   See KD link for more details setting up the plugin and sequence for the management plugin.
   
   
2. Restart WA Agent once the parameters have been added.
   
   
3. In DE side, add the notification to job or application.  
   1. Open the job properties
   2. Select Notifications
   3. Select SNMP and setup New SNMP Trap Notification.
   4. Click Ok, and upload the application again.
