well along this thread, I have Netview 5.1.1 for NT running and forwrding events
to TEC. At this point I am only concerned with Critical Nodes going up or down,
and by critical I mean production servers in the datacenter. What would be the
recommended method for setting up Netview to only forward events from this set
or subset of machines. I thought about setting up a SmartSet with only the
datacenter machines, but how do I tell Netview to forward events from this
SmartSet only? Or is this something that has to filtered in the TEC rules on
the TEC Server?

Yes.
I'll bet that if you look in /etc/Tivoli/tec on your NetView box you'll see a
cache file which is growing with your events. This means that nvserverd cannot
contact your TEC server.
If you are sending to an NT TEC then you must edit the /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf
file that was created when you configured for TEC forwarding and add the
SeverPort keyword to it. NT does not have a portmapper daemon running so it
will not automatically re-direct your incoming events to the port that TEC is
listening to. So you have to tell the NetView internal adapter what port you
are using. I believe most folks use 5529, which is some king of TEC default,
but you should know, since you just installed TEC. If you are using the default
then your entry in tecint.conf would be ServerPort=5529
After you make the change, you should re-cycle the nvserverd daemon or use
nvtecia to reload the configuration.

Hello,
I have already done the TME 10 Netview 5.1 installation in an AIX 4.2.1 and
the TEC 3.6.1 using Oracle 7.2.2 in Windows NT in other managed node. I have
configured the event forwarding to Tivoli in the TME 10 desktop and I have
customized the TEC Event Server as is shown in the TME 10 NetView Installation
and Configuration Guide but the problem is that the events don?t appear in the
TEC. Do you know if I have to do something else?.
Many thanks,
Jose
