When everything is working correctly, then wtdumprl should show you events
from NetView in the reception log on the TEC. Even if it is unconfigured
you should see those events arrive and cause parsing failures there. I
don't know what you mean when you say the cache file size has not grown.
If it is there at all, then you are not getting a connection to the TEC.
Is the file system full or something? With forwardall.rs as the rule in
tecint.conf, anything you see in a dynamic workspace running the same
ruleset should be sent to TEC, and it should be written to the cache file
if nvserverd is actively trying to send it and cannot. But how many times
the underlying adpater code (which comes from TEC ) will try before giving
up is release dependent, I believe. So you might want to restart things.
Also ping does not guarantee connectivity in this case. You have to get a
TCP connection which means an open session handshake. Events will not
"leave the box" until a viable session has been established. Have you
checked the TEC server to see if portmapper is running with ps -ef? Can
you or the TEC guy determine what the default port is that TEC was
installed or configured with?
Perhaps you should review the section on configuring events for forwarding
to the TEC in the Installation and Configuration Guide. That might
suggest something you have not done. I don't know. But when nvserverd is
started or restarted, if there is a /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf, he will try
to use it to forward events to TEC. You can also start and stop that
process once the file is there with the nvtecia line command. See the man
page on nvtecia for details. You can also just re-cycle the nvserverd
daemon.

Subject: Re: Fwd: [RE: [NV-L] Forwarding events from Netview to TEC]
Thanks for the Port info. I am using AIX 4.3.2 so no port info was
needed. Is there a way to see if the event has been processed by NetView
and
sent out? I looked at the cache file in /etc/Tivoli/tec and there were no
new entries and the file size is the same. Should I see the events from
NetView appear on the TEC server when running the wtdumper command even if
the TEC server hasn't been configured to receive events from NetView yet? I
am using the forwardall.rs just to see id the forwarding is working and I
am
not sure if the events are even leaving the NetView server. There is
connictivity between the two servers (verified by ping in NetView). I have
enabled forwarding to TEC in Server Setup. Is there a step I am missing?

Is you TEC server on UNIX or NT? The default port for the TEC
server to
listen on is 5529, but for UNIX, TEC events are sent to port 0,
which is
owned by the portmapper daemon, who reroutes them. If you aren't
running
portmapper or you have an NT TEC server, which doesn't have a
portmapper,
then you must add a stanza to the tecint.conf file while identifies
what
port the TEC server is listening to. See the man page on
tecint.conf on
your UNIX box for more details (that's what I advised Carlos to do).
You
must know something about your TEC setup for this to work correctly.
I also told Carlos in my append last week on this same topic that he
should
look in /etc/Tivoli/tec/cache and see if that file is growing. If
so, it
means that nvserverd on your NetView box cannot open a session with
the TEC
server specified in your tecint.conf. Once he does the cache is
sent at
once and cleared. So that is your clue that you have more work to
do to
get the connection established.

Is Port=5524 the default port for TEC to receive events on? I
am
having the same issue. I have selected the Forwardall.rs and
configured
NetView to forward events in Server Setup and set up to forward
traps in
event configuration. When I run the wtdumper command I don't see any
events
come through. I am using the Send Event to Trapd daemon in Server
Setup to
create the events.
Thanks.

I have found the problem: I was missing to define the parameter
Server
Port=5524 in the /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf file.
Thanks.Saludos.
