	I'm in the process of moving from SunNet Manager 1.2 to 2.0,
and I'm having problems getting Data Reports working with enterprise
MIBs.  When I try to kick off a data report with an enterprise MIB,
I get an error message like the one below:

Error: Request encBox:
  Agent error: agent error 0: cannot find group: "encBox" in
schema: "snmp" or default schema: "snmp-mibII"

The encBox group in the above error message is from the ODS ethernet
hub mib.  The schema file for this MIB loads fine when the SNM Console
starts, and the Quick Dump and Event Report facilites work fine
with this MIB.  With SunNet Manager 1.2, Data Reporting also worked with 
the ODS enterprise MIB.
	The error message suggests that the Data Report mechanism is
sending incorrect information to the snmp proxy agent, because the
"snmp" schema mentioned in the error message is NOT the schema that
the encBox group resides in.  Also, the schema mentioned in the error
message above is not consistently "snmp".  Sometimes another (but
still incorrect) enterprise schema is mentioned in the error message:

Error: Request encBox:
  Agent error: agent error 0: cannot find group: "encBox" in
schema: "ciscoMmib" or default schema: "snmp-mibII"

	Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?  Thanks
in advance.

Hello Jim,

   This question should most likely be addressed with SunConnect, but
I'll be willing to give it my best shot.  1) SNM 1.2 uses a file
called /var/adm/anm/snmp.hosts.  This file may not be needed anymore
if you can query the proxy host directly.  I would check to make sure
that the default schema in this file for the host you are setting up a
Data Report is correct.  Ideally, if you can, remove this file as SNM
2.0 does not need it anymore.  2) Make sure that the Property sheet
for the device you are setting up the Data Report for has all the
appropriate schemas checked.  Let's say that the group encBox exists
in the enc MIB.  Make sure you have the enc box checked on the device
you are trying to query.

   If you still cannot figure out your problem, I would contact SunConnect
directly.  By the way, I think there is a SNM users mailing list
somewhere for these types of issues (again, ask Sun :-).

Thanks,
