I hadn't looked at DPI for several years so I had to refesh my memory. I could have easily overlooked something, but as near as I can tell, DPI is primarily for communication between agent and subagent. A subagent can use DPI to generate a trap. However, (if I understand the term manager) it sounds like this really should be a SNMP manager function. Sort of a manager to manager process (which may be outside of official SNMP use.) I see in a z/OS 1.9 manual that there is an SNMP Manager API available in 1.9. I'm stuck on 1.8 so I can't check this out, but I saw a "What's new" doc on the web that says: z/OS Communications Server also provides an extension of the SNMP Manager API, the SNMP Notification API, which leverages the functionality of the SNMP Manager API to send notifications to SNMP agents and/or SNMP Notification Receivers. Available notifications include Informs and both Version 1 and Version 2 Traps. I think this API is really the way to go if you have 1.9 or later. I've never looked into "Informs", but I gather they are sort of "guaranteed delivery" traps.
