I did as instructed, installing the rls and baroc files. The events did
not appear in either the network group nor in the NetView source in the
TME10 Event Display application. They did appear in the "All" group,
which is problematic for it's own reasons (i.e. permissions).
When I looked into it I saw that:
- The source for the "NetView" event source was configured to look
for the name "NV6K".
- The "Network" event group filter was similarly configured,
accepting only events with source "NV6K".
I am uncertain as to *why* it was this way. I was fairly suprised to see
this myself. It may have more to do with our specific installation, as I
was installing into a pre-existing TMR (not the one shipped with our
media), but Mr. Tan's problem sounded suspiciously like the one I had.
Now that I think about it further, I seem to recall that predecessors may
have installed the HP OpenView adapter for the TME desktop. AHA! I'll
wager that is why my sources and groups were all funky.
It still could solve Mr. Tan's problem- if the event appears in "All" but
not in any of the other groups or sources, it's likely that the sources or
event group filters do not have the appropriate source listed.
