Much of the information in the release notes is devoted to migration. Key
to success is, as mentioned in the notes, to make sure stuff is working before
migration. The script you are told to run creates a filesystem with a backup
of all of the cusomizable files, so the customization added by each product
is saved. Then you deinstall Netview and reinstall it. When Netview is
installed in the presence of this backup directory, the contents are merged.
Even if there are problems, you have the backup to fall back on, and can
hand-migrate the necessary files. Lots of people have had success with
this process. Read the release notes carefully...
Cordially,

Subject: Migrating NetView 5 --> 5.1
Hi,
We are currently running NetView 5 on our RS/6000 H50 server. This base
installation was customized to the customers specifications. However,
we would like to upgrade to NetView 5.1.
We are also running other third party software on this server e.g.
CiscoWorks, Optivity, Netreporter, etc.. What are the safety measures
we should take to ensure that all the customizations are not lost during
the migration? Are there documentation that can guide us throught the
migration?
Thanx, in advance !!!
