agentx subagent re-enabling

I have embedded a net-snmp agentx subagent in my c++ application code on Ubuntu Linux. I want to disable the agentx subagent once it is working and then re-enable it again. I am successfully able to setup the agent, poll the mib using snmpget from the command line and disable agentx socket connection by using snmp_shutdown but I am unable to re-enable the socket connection again once I disable it. 


Appreciate any help/pointers.

I use the following code to initialise the SNMP library and the agentx socket connection.

In the beginning, initialise the AgentX subagent -

netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_ROLE, 1);
        netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL, 120);
        netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET, m_agentx_socket.c_str());
        

/* initialize the agent library */
init_agent("MyApp");
// initialise MIB module
init_snmp("MyApp");

The poll the MIB using snmpget and disable the connection using the function below -
snmp_shutdown("MyApp");
SOCK_CLEANUP;

Works fine so far.

Then I re-enable the connection using the code below but this does not work.
netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_ROLE, 1);
        netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL, 120);
        netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET, m_agentx_socket.c_str());
        

/* initialize the agent library */
init_agent("MyApp");
init_snmp("MyApp");
