There is a redbood, SG24-2532 Integrating Netware Management with Netview.
It is from 11/95, and is
still listed on the redbooks website (www.redbooks.ibm.com - I think this
is a pubic site). Anyway it is
about importing IPX topoplogy into Netview. It was from the days before
everyone's Netware clients
were IP-enabled. It uses that function under the Administration menu tab
for openmon (is that what it is
called? Is it still there?). Anyway it takes a topology feed from the
Managewise console and I believe
it did require an add-on at that end from Novelle.
But lately I think most folks are letting Netview get the information it
wants via IP and SNMP.
Cordially,

Igor,
There used to be a way of intgrating Novell's ManageWise and
Netview/Openview to get some form of integration between IP and IPX. As far
as I remember you could get IP toplogy displayed on a Netview map and run
certain tools against the nodes but it wouldn't poll anything or show node
status. I don't know if this is still the case with the latest version of
Managewise, check out the Novell Web site.

Malcolm Orr
I thought you bought a product from Novell called Managewise to do this.
As I understand it, Managewise provides an agent you install on the Novell
servers and it sends stuff to NetView. You should be able to learn more
about it from the Novell website. There have been plenty of appends on
this in the past. Don't know why the users of it are not responding now.

Subject: IPX/IP proxy (gateway) for NetView v.5.1
Hi,
Does anybody know anything about IPX/IP proxy (or gateway) for NetView. I
have installed NetView 5.1 on AIX 4.3.1 and want to monitor IP and IPX
networks. Is it possible?
Sincerely yours,
Igor Podlivalchev
