Jane: From the notes, the Dynatext problem appears corrected. The
solution of adding all of the missing COLLECTION lines from one .ebtrc
file to the other, so both match, has fixed the problem on our machines,
and it is the one recommended now, I think, by Tivoli. When Tivoli
decided to set up their Dynatext contrary to the way the Dynatext
product defaults, without considering whether any other products would
use it, was a guarantee that no other products could install to it.
2. What are the processes that can't start? Easier to debug if they
were listed.
3. I've seen some Java cpu utilization with 1.1.4, but would need to
look ar your Netview database and the nettl log to see what Java is
trying to do. It's presumably working on the db trying to deal with
devices for which it finds OIDs it's interested in.
Send details off-line on this and I'll try to get you an answer.
