I'm trying to make a request to a function in a SAP RFC server hosted at 10.123.231.123 with user myuser, password mypass, sysnr 00, client 076, language E. The name of the function is My_Function_Nm with params: string Alternative, string Date, string Name.
I use the command line:
/usr/sap/nwrfcsdk/bin/startrfc -h 10.123.231.123 -s 00 -u myuser -p mypass -c 076 -l en -F My_Function_Nm
But it always shows me the help instructions.
I guess I'm not specifying the -E pathname=edifile, and it's because i don't know how to create a EDI File to include the parameters values to the specified function. Maybe someone can help me on how to create this file and how to correctly invoke startrfc to consume from this function?
Thanks in advance.
If you actually check the help text the problem shows, you should find the following passages:
RFC connection options:
[...]
-2 SNA mode on.
You must set this if you want to connect to R/2.
[...]
-3 R/3 mode on.
You must set this if you want to connect to R/3.
Apparently you forgot to specify -3...
You should use sapnwrfc.ini which will store your connection parameters, and it should be places in the same directory as client program.
Sample file for your app should be following:
DEST=TST1
ASHOST=10.123.231.123
USER=myuser
PASSWD=mypass
SYSNR=076
RFC_TRACE=0
Documentation on using this file is here.
For calling the function you must create Bash-script, but better to use Python script.

i try to monitor values with nagios over snmp from my two audiocodes SBCs (M500L).
For these i download two MIBs "AC-ALARM-MIB" + "IP-MIB_rfc4293" from https://github.com/librenms/librenms/tree/master/mibs/audiocodes rename it to .txt at the end and upload it to my ubuntu server in path /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.
Then i try to use the following command in command line.
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u xxxxxx -a SHA -A xxxxx -x AES -X xxxxx 123.456.789.100 AcAlarm:acActiveAlarmName
and i get the following output
AcAlarm::acActiveAlarmName = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
I try to find out the OID from these in MIB Browser - seems like it is " .1.3.6.1.4.1.5003.11.1.1.1.1.5". When i use these OID i get same output.
Anyone has an idea?
SNMP treats all values as being entries in some database. OIDs are used to identify entries in this conceptual database. MIB files allow an SNMP manager to translate OIDs into a human-readable string, with an accompanying textual description.
The issue here is not that the MIB files are bad, or the OIDs are wrong, the problem is that, either the devices that hold this (imaginary) database do not support the entries you are trying to access, or that your user is not authorized to access those entries. A simple way to find out what OIDs are supported would be to do a full walk of the database, using something like snmpwalk <hostname> 1.3.6.1
I've been trying to make one list of my local servers containing the credentials to automate process on my side. Here's the file I have right now:
head hosts-only.txt
192.168.2.101
192.168.2.102
192.168.2.103
192.168.2.105
192.168.2.107
head user-only.txt
admin
tomcat
oracle
head pass-only.txt
123456
secret
secure
ofc, password are not real below, just using them as an example. Now, what I am trying to accomplish is getting one 'list.txt' containing the information in the following format:
192.168.2.101:admin:123456
192.168.2.102:tomcat:secret
192.168.2.103:oracle:secure
Any help would be very appreciated,
Thanks !
Look at
paste -d: hosts-only.txt user-only.txt pass-only.txt
Given the following sample/simple snmpd.conf (Net-SNMP 5.7.2 on RHEL 7.4)
rwcommunity private 192.168.56.101
trapsess -Ci --clientaddr=192.168.56.128 -v 2c -c private 192.168.56.101:162
when starting a SNMP Daemon
snmpd -f -Lo -D -C -c data/snmpd_test.conf udp:192.168.56.128:161
We obtain ''Start Up'' InformRequest with IP source 192.56.168.1 instead of ...128 (WireShark snapshot below)
It is not surprising as the -D option allows us to output the debug information saying that
trace: netsnmp_config_process_memory_list(): read_config.c, 696:
read_config:mem: processing memory: clientaddr 192.168.56.128
trace: run_config_handler(): read_config.c, 562:
9:read_config:parser: clientaddr handler not registered for this time
Web sources however say:
snmp.conf
...This value is also used by snmpd when generating notifications.
snmpd.conf
trapsess [SNMPCMD_ARGS] HOST
provides a more generic mechanism for defining notification destinations.
SNMPCMD_ARGS should be the command-line options required for an equivalent
snmptrap (or snmpinform) command to send the desired notification
I read also some old threads like this one
However this option is working well with snmptrap
snmptrap -D -Lo -Ci --clientaddr=192.168.56.128 -M+path_to_my_mibs -v 2c -c private 192.168.56.101:162 "" .1.3.6.1.4.1.a.b.c.d.e.f.0 i 0
This option is also working when placed in snmp.conf ( mind there is no 'd' here ) and then it applies to snmpset and snmpget (and maybe other)
So my question is: Is it a documentation error, a bug, a misuse of the Net-SNMP stack ?
After a long struggle I may have an answer and I write a short note as I just found a trick
It seems that clientaddr is not parsed correctly wherever in the snmpd.conf
(I tried not also inside the trapsess line)
But it seems to be a valid option in the command line of snmpd
like it was a valid option in the snmptrap command line. So I assumed it could be the same parsing mechanism for both.
a condition also is that the IP addres must be valid one
which means that
snmpd -f -Lo -D -C -c data/snmpd_test.conf --clientaddr=192.168.56.128 udp:192.168.56.128:161
seems to fully solve my problem.
I will perform more tests and if accurate format this answer a little bit better but it seems a good hint.
Okay, hopefully I can explain this correctly as I have no idea what's causing this or how to resolve this.
For some reason bash commands (on a CentOS 6.x server) are displaying more information than "normally" and that causes issues with certain scripts. I have no clue if there is a name for this, but hopefully someone knows a solution for this.
First example.
Correct / good server:
[root#goodserver ~]# vzctl enter 3567
entered into CT 3567
[root#example /]#
(this is the correct behaviour)
Incorrect / bad server:
[root#badserver /]# vzctl enter 3127
Entering CT
entered into CT 3127
Open /dev/pts/0
[root#example /]#
With the "bad" server it will display more information as usual, like:
Entering CT
Open /dev/pts/0
It's like it parsing extra information on what it's doing.
Ofcourse the above is purely something cosmetic, however with several bash scripts we use, these issues are really issues.
A part of the script we use, uses the following command (there are more, but this is mainly a example of what's wrong):
DOMAIN=`vzctl exec $VEID 'hostname -d'`
The result of the above information is parsed in /etc/named.conf.
On the GOOD server it would be added in the named.conf like this:
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "example.com";
allow-transfer {
200.190.100.10;
200.190.101.10;
common-allow-transfer;
};
};
The above is correct.
On the BAD server it would be added in the named.conf like this:
zone "Executing command: hostname -d
example.com" {
type master;
file "Executing command: hostname -d
example.com";
allow-transfer {
200.190.100.10;
200.190.101.10;
common-allow-transfer;
};
};
So it's add stuff of the action it does, in this example "Executing command: hostname -d"
Another example here when I run the command on a good server and on the bad server.
Bad server:
[root#bad-server /]# DOMAIN=`vzctl exec 3333 'hostname -d'`
[root#bad-server /]# echo $DOMAIN
Executing command: hostname -d example.com
Good server:
[root#good-server ~]# DOMAIN=`vzctl exec 4444 'hostname -d'`
[root#good-server ~]# echo $DOMAIN
example.com
My knowledge is limited, but I have tried several things checking rsyslog and the grub.conf, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
I have no clue why it's displaying the extra information.
Probably it's something simple / stupid, but I have been trying to solve this for hours now and I really have no clue...
So any help is really appreciated.
Added information:
Both servers use: kernel.printk = 7 4 1 7
(I don't know if that's useful)
Well (thanks to Aaron for pointing me in the right direction) I finally found the little culprit which was causing all the issues I experienced with this script (which worked for every other server, so no need to change that obviously).
The issues were caused by the VERBOSE leven set in vz.conf (located in /etc/vz/ directory). There is an option in there called "VERBOSE" and in my case it was set to 3.
According to OpenVZ's website it does the following:
Increments logging level up from the default. Can be used multiple times.
Default value is set to the value of VERBOSE parameter in the global
configuration file vz.conf(5), or to 0 if not set by VERBOSE parameter.
After I changed VERBOSE=3 to VERBOSE=0 my script worked fine once again (as it did for every other server). :-)
So a big shoutout to Aaron for pointing me in the right direction. The answer is easy when you know where to look!
Sorry to say, but I am kinda disappointed by ndim's reaction. This is the 2nd time he was very unhelpful and rude in his response after that. He clearly didn't read the issue I posted correctly. Oh well.
I would make sure to properly parse the output of the command. In this case, we are only interested in lines of the form
entered into CT 12345
One way of doing this would be to pipe everything through sed and having sed print only the number when the line looks as above (untested, and I always forget which braces/brackets/parens need a backslash in front of them):
whateverthecommand | sed -n 's/^entered into CT ([0-9]{1,})$/\1/p'
I am using UFTP to transfer files within the subnetwork computers.
But when I used -H to send only particular computers instead of sending to all computers, it is not working as expected.
Let me explain in detail :
I have two windows machines in same network of IP's 172.21.170.198,172.21.181.216 respectively.
From one of the system, I used below mentioned command to send the file
uftp.exe -R 100000 -H 172.21.170.198,172.21.181.216 e:\setup.exe
But both machines won't receive those file.
But if I use this command both machines will receive the file.
uftp.exe -R 100000 E:\setup.exe
I want to know whether I made any mistake.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in Advance.
Kindly revert back for any clarifications.

Thiyagu
If ipv6 isn't enabled, it would look like this, converting the ipv4 addresses to hex (with a converter like http://www.kloth.net/services/iplocate.php):
uftp.exe -R 100000 -H 0xAC15AAC6,0xAC15B5D8 e:\setup.exe
But if you have an ipv6 address on the client, the client id sort of comes from the end of it backwards. Like if the address was "fe80::e5ca:e3ca:fea3:153f%5", the command would look like:
uftp.exe -R 100000 -H 0x3f15a3fe e:\setup.exe
(coming from "fe a3 15 3f")
