If you have cores please run the readcore program found in /usr/OV/service
directory against the core.  Also read the readcore.readme file and open a call
to support.

Yes James,  I am trying to solve something ; I saw these messages and I wanted
to know if there were problems with them.
My problem is that Netview has been malfunctioning and it has shown cores in
the  /usr/OV/PD/cores/ovwdb  and in the /usr/OV/PD/cores/ovtopmd.
3 weeks ago I received the ovwdb core and I compressed the database  ( Leslie
sent me a procedure to do this) and ran the " Resolve database inconsistences"
and Netview remained stable.
Yesterday I saw the ovtopmd core,  and  after this, the GUI started with
problems with the  collections and the manager submap became "blue" .  In
addition, it does not allow me delete or add any map  ( normally I used 2 maps).
Probably there are more problems, but I restored a backup and is stable again.
I am worry that this happen again.
Do you know if the problem is because another reason ?

Today, after running the GUI , the nettl.log00, showed a lot of messages like
this :


Initializing formatter....

Initialization done.

Yup, I know what it means.  And it is not serious.  Are you just reading the
nettl looking for problems or are you trying to solve something?

ovtopmd is a trap receiver.  He registers for traps from trapd.  The external
(non-NetView) ones he just ignores.  He has nothing to do for them.  For NetVew
ones, he has an internal table which tells him what to do with that trap.  Many
internal (NetView) traps are just ignored too.  ovtopmd only needs those which
mean he needs to update the topology database.  All that this error means is
that he got an internal (NetView) trap that isn't in his table.  So apparently
we added a trap some time ago and did not update ovtopmd's internal table.  But
it does not affect his processing, since any new trap we added that he doesn't
know about, he doesn't need anyway.  So if we eventually update the table, it
will be to tell him to ignore it anyway. Nothing to worry about.

If you do have some problem you are trying to solve, this probably has nothing
to do with it.

Hi all ,  Netview 5.1.2 , AIX 4.3.2 , H50 , 1 GB RAM.

I have seen in the nettl.LOG00 the next messages :

Does anybody know what do these messages mean ?
