Is DataMiner.xml case sensitive (trapport vs trapPort)?

Hi all,

I am investigating an issue concerning traps and, when looking at the SLSNMPManager.txt log, I spotted an error registering the port (in this case 162).

Looking at the DataMiner.xml configuration I noticed that for the port 162 the tag reads trapport and not trapPort.

Is this a typo?

Could it lead to the error in the image below?

Thank you for your help.

Hi João

DataMiner parses the data using standard XML methods, and XML is indeed case-sensitive.  So it is indeed very important to make sure your tags and attributes have the correct casing.  The value within these tags and attributes are case insensitive.

This applies to any XML-file in DataMiner.

Hi Jan, thank you for the clarification.
Could this typo be a cause for the error highlighted on the screenshot?

Everything which is entered incorrectly due to the casing restrictions is ignored, so that should not be the cause of the error indicated.

Understood, thank you for the help Jan.
