You are probably trying to install from the tier 2 CD.  Make sure you have
the Framework CD.  I don't have the disks in front of me, so I don't have
the part numbers.  NetView does not ship with the Tier 1 disc, but it is a
no cost item.  Check with your rep.

>>         First, issue the WPREINST.SH command, which will create some

>> prior to completion.  The 3.2-TMF-0004 patch fixes this problem.  The
>> files that WPREINST.SH creates must exist on the AIX 4.3 system, so
>> this command must be executed before the application of the
>> 3.2-TMF-0004 patch.
>>
>>     2)  Acquire the 3.2-TMF-0004 patch
>>         FTP the 3.2-TMF-0004.tar file to your machine. Place the
>> 3.2-TMF-0004.tar file into a scratch directory.  For the purpose of
>> this release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to this

>> its installation, the 3.2-TMF-0004.part1 script must be run.  This
>> script
>> updates the wserver, wserver_gui, and wserver_cli files.  This portion
>> of
>> the patch process enables Tivoli to complete the installation process.
>> In order to run 3.2-TMF-0004.part1, it must first be moved to the
>> /usr/local/Tivoli/install_bundle directory.  The following command
>> sequence illustrates the necessary commands for completing Part 1 of the

>> patch.
>>         # cd $PATCH
>>         # tar xvf 3.2-TMF-0004.tar
>>         # mv $PATCH/TMF32004.part1 /usr/local/Tivoli/install_bundle/
>>         # /usr/local/Tivoli/install_bundle/TMF32004.part1 -p $PATCH
>>
>> NOTE - The 3.2-TMF-0004.part1 script copies updated versions of wserver,
>>
>> wserver_cli and wserver_gui, from the directory specified with the -p
>> parameter, into the correct locations within the

>> /usr/local/Tivoli/install_bundle/wserver
>> /usr/local/Tivoli/install_bundle/bin/aix4-r1/wserver_gui
>> /usr/local/Tivoli/install_bundle/bin/aix4-r1/wserver_cli
>>
>>     3)  After the TMF32004.part1 script completes, the Tivoli platform

>> Part 2 - The Post-Installation Patch
>>
>>     1)  The user must install the 3.2-TMF-0004 patch to complete the

>> if you wish to use a command line installation.
>>         NOTE: You must have the install_product and super authorization
>> roles to successfully install this patch.
>>
>>         a)  Select the "Install -> Install Patch..." option from the
>>            "Desktop" menu to display the "Install Patch" dialog.
>>
>>         b)  Press the "Select Media..." button to display the "File
>>            Browser" dialog.
>>
>>         c)  Enter the path to the directory containing the patch,
>>             $PATCH, in the "Path Name:" field.
>>
>>         d)  Press the "Set Media & Close" button to return to the
>>            "Install Patch" dialog.
>>
>>         e)  The patch install list now contains the name of the patch,
>>             3.2-TMF-0004.  Select the patch by clicking on it.
>>
>>         f)  Select the clients to install this patch on. This patch
>>             changes a binary and needs to be installed on any AIX 4.3
>>             TME server.
>>
>>         g)  Press the "Install" button to install the patch.
>>
>>         h)  From the command line restart the Tivoli oserv using the

>>             > /bin/sh

>> Part 3 - Installing AIX 4.3 ManagedNodes
>>
>> Non-AIX 4.3 TMR servers will not immediately support AIX 4.3 machines
>> as ManagedNodes.  However, by following the steps outlined below, the
>> TMR server will recognize and support AIX 4.3 as a ManagedNode.  If the
>> server is an AIX 4.3 machine, then the following steps are not
>> necessary because the 3.2-TMF-0004 patch enables the AIX 4.3 TMR server
>> to
>> support AIX 4.3 ManagedNodes.
>>
>> Note - The modification made in Part 3 will be lost if the database gets
>>
>> reset.  A reset of the database will not affect machines connected as
>> ManagedNodes prior to the database getting reset.  However, it will
>> prevent new AIX 4.3 ManagedNodes from being added to the TMR until the
>> above command for Part 3 is re-executed.
>>
>> On the non-AIX 4.3 TMR server:
>> 1.  The user must have the TMR role of "super" in order to execute the

>>         # 3.2-TMF-0004.part3

>> 2.  In order to make the TMR aware of the changes to the database, issue
