InvalidResponseHandling

Remarks

Prior to DataMiner 9.6.3, when SLSNMPManager detected an infinite loop when polling a table, it always considered the response valid.

From DataMiner 9.6.3 onwards, in case of an infinite loop, the response will be rejected by default. To override this default behavior, InfiniteLoop can be configured.

If you want SLSNMPManager to accept a response in case of an infinite loop, set InfiniteLoop to "Success". This tag can only be used for table parameters.

Note

Regardless of the InvalidResponseHandling setting, when an infinite loop is detected, a message will be logged in the element's log file (type ERROR, level 0).

Feature introduced in DataMiner 9.6.3 (RN 20419).
