Maggie, I cannot promise that it will all work perfectly if you just
upgrade the code, because I don't know if you have correctly
configured netmon, etc. Also, I have not configured the NT MLM
so there might be more or different steps there. But I can tell you
that I would not spend any time on it at all until Netview is upgraded
to 5.1.1. The level you are running is out of support, and had bugs
in other areas. That code is more than two years old, and 5.1 and
5.1.1 were bug-fix releases. Version 5.1 is a re-install, or a migration
install, and then 5.1.1 goes on as a Patch using the Tivoli patch
mechanism.

Cordially,

# ./ovqueryversion -PTF
5.0.0.0

Netview for UNIX version 5.0

MLM for NT  version 5.1

Is it the problem is due to the version 5.0 ?
