Thanks for your insight on this matter ....
The best solution, as you pointed out, is to install NetView on a
ManagedNode, which makes reinstallation unavoidable !
The objective of this is to make use of the TIPN package to manage an
inventory of network devices (routers, hubs, ...) but also create NetView
maps of the Tivoli environment.
Thanks again for you info
