Unfortunately, I have the answer you probably don't
want to hear. For the main databases under
\usr\ov\databases\openview, the format for the ovwdb,
topology, and mapdb is the same as the older versions.
I did remember hearing from someone that it's still
in Btrieve format. However, the event database is in
RDBMS Compliant, it can be in either Access or MS SQL
format. I think Tivoli was trying to convert the
database to RDBMS, from the two other DSN (snmpcollect
and Topology) it created in Windows ODBC Settings. I
did query the those DSNs and notice it was empty. In
theory, I think you can write the event database to
another RDBMS, but I haven't tested it. With the
current version, I think the default MS Access
database is sufficient for storing the events.
