Thanks for the hint James.   I checked the migrate script and it is using
   the "set -x " command, but I set it again and am also running the script
   from the OV directory.   It's failing after it checks the version file,
   but I checked and the version file does exist and it has the right
   information in it.   I will dig further through the documentation and
   contact support if necessary.   If anyone else has some experience with
   this I would be happy to hear from you.

Sorry, Vince, but I cannot help you. I don't do installations. I don't
think the directory you are in is the problem but I am guessing.  If you
want to pick a directory to be in, I'd choose /usr/OV.  I would review the
release notes and the readmes on the CD-ROM, and call Support if you are
still stuck.  You could also make the first exceutable line of the script
"set -x" and cause it to trace so that perhaps you could discover the
problem.

James you were right about the permissions.    Now when I run the script
and I'm at the last point where it asks "Enter C  or c to continue :
anything else to quit: "  I enter c to continue  and get the message
"Quitting : apparently not a SERVER installation"   This obviously means
something  ... not sure what though.   Must the script be run from a
certain directory?

Are the permissions right?  Do an ls -l and see and fix them with chmod if
you must.  "Cannot execute" is usually a permissions problem, but I am just
guessing

Currently running Netview v4.1e on Digital Unix, but wanting to migrate to
v5.0 which we now have in hand and later to 5.1 (another story).   I copied
the migration script NVPV5DEC.SH from the CDRom to my UNIX box and renamed
it to nvp.v4r1 since thats what I would like to backup for moving to our
new server.   I'm running the script at the command line from the
netmanagers user directory logged in as root ... ">>> nvp.v4r1 test " not
specifying any directories and just wanting to see how much space will be
needed for the backup files.   I immediately get an error  "cannot
execute".  Do I need to specify the directories  ... if so what are the
directories I should be looking at?   Any ideas why it's not running?
Appreciate any help or suggestions.
