We have not implemented the TEC NetView event adapter in our environment
yet, but we installed TIPN on our development NV system. Looking at the
/usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf file after the TIPN install, it appeared that the
TIPN install added "EVENT_CLASS" definitions to the trapd.conf file, but not
all of the defined NetView event classes listed on page 7-7 through 7-12 of
the T/EC 3.6 Adapter's Guide. So, I am wondering exactly what the TIPN
install is doing for the NetView event adapter vs. what the T/EC NetView
event adapter does? It seems like there is some install duplication of
Event Classes between the TIPN and T/EC Event Adapter install and I am
wondering if this will cause any problems with customizations, etc...? Has
anyone else installed both TIPN and the T/EC NV event adapter in their
environment? Thanks,

You have me confused mightily Joe.
TIPN does not come with its own TEC adapter. You would use either
nvserverd or tecad_nv6k to send events to TEC. Beyond that I cannot quite
follow your question. What files are you looking at which caused you to
ask it?

James,
How does the TIPN Event adapter fit into the "tecad_nv6k" adapter? It
appears there is some duplication (e.g., NV6K_Warnings, etc...) between the
two adapters, and some differences (e.g., "NV6K_Netmon_Dump_Interface"
defined in the "tecad_nv6k" adapter but not defined in the TIPN event
adapter) between the two. Is the TIPN Event adapter just a subset of the
"tecad_nv6k" adapter? Will there be any overlap in installing both
adapters
(if one is not a complete subset of the other) and how will NV handle such
an install? Thanks,

No TEC adapter provided by any Tivoli product supports sending to more than
one TEC at a time. That is because TEC itself does not support it, and
they supply the library routines which all adapters currently use. They do
support the use of a backup server, but it only gets events when the
primary is unavailable.
You could make this work, however, because there are two independent TEC
adapters for NetView. One is the internal adapter which selects events to
send using a ruleset and sends then via the nvserverd daemon. The other is
the tecad_nv6k adapter which is provided by TEC. That adapter is a daemon
which uses a filter to select what to forward to TEC. The two are
completely independent of each other, so you could install both. Be warned
however that this a rather a lot of work and, as Joe Prokott already
pointed out, you'll have to figure out for yourself in great detail exactly
what to send to each adapter.

Hi,
I foward events to TEC,
my environment is 3.6 TME server and
5.1 Netview .
My question is :
May I foward different events to two
different TECs ???
I have only a Netview server that is a manged node of TMR server1
but I have also a TMR server2 which machines send snmp events to the
Netview server.
How may I send snmp events for TMR1 to TMR1 TEC and snmp events for TMR2 to
TMR2 TEC ???
I have two TMRs due to two large numbers of managed nodes (about 400).
Thank you
Bye
