Simon,
We had the same sort of problem during the install - we had added our own
directories to the /usr/OV structure and they were being deleted by the
de-installation of NetView v4.1. We resolved it by copying the directories
to the /usr/OV.back.v4r1 structure, deleting NetView v4.1 and then copying
our own directories back to /usr/OV prior to installing v5.1.
I have just checked my logs and we also had the 'syntax error' message. As
our installation works fine I guess it wasn't a major problem.

Hi,
I am having a bad time trying to migrate a Netview 4.1 system to 5.1 -
Here is
my situation:
I am currently trying to migrate a Netview V4.1 system to
Netview V5.1.1. The platform is a RS6000 E30 ( previously running
AIX 4.1.5 - now migrating to AIX 4.3.2 ). So the transition looks like
this:-
Netview 4.1 on AIX 4.1.5
TO
Netview 5.1.1 on AIX 4.3.2
The steps I took roughly:-
1. mksysb's
2. chktrapd.con to verify the trapd.conf format
3. shutdown daemons
4. create migration backups ( created both ALL and ALL-USER - but used
ALL-USER within the context of this discussion ).
5. Deleted Netview, Systems Monitor, Dynatext, etc.
6. Ran Migration upgrade of AIX from 4.1.5 to 4.3.2 -> Seems OK
7. Installed Framework 3.6
8. Upgraded Framework to 3.6.1
9. Applied Framework Patch for Netview 5.1
10. Created ( installed ) Netview Server
Seems to progress OK but finally fails with the following messages:-

Note: This was taken from the end of the /tmp/NVS_51_NVFCONF_after.error
file.
I think I know what is happening with the "seed.ALL" message - The previous
Netview Implementation
used a "seed.ALL" file in a "/usr/OV/seedfile" directory - which wasn't
recreated by the migration
install. Do I need to create this directory in advance and put the
"seed.ALL" file in it?
What about the other messages?
I urgently need to resolve this issue. Please let me know if you need
any more information. I took the
following from the system in case they are of any use ( I didn't want to
just attach them in case this
was a bad political move ):-
NVS_51_ALIDB_after.debug
NVS_51_BIN_before.debug
NVS_51_NVFCONF_after.error
NVS_51_CONFBASE_after.debug
NVS_51_CONFBASE_after.output
