I am very confused by this because I personally have gotten this to work
and indeed it is exactly how you have to do it if you have an NT TEC
adapter, and furthermore it is documented that way. See the man page on
tecint.conf
I think the problem is that you are confusing setting up the TEC adapter
with smitty or the config utility and starting the flow. Those can be done
independently, and should be, after set up.
(1) Create tecinit.conf using the config tool menu to get the ruleset added
correctly.
(2) Put in your ServerPort entry
(3) Either restart nvserverd (ovstop/ovstart nvserverd) or use the nvtecia
-restart command to get the event flow going to TEC.
See the man page on nvtecia.
The only way this would get wiped out every time is if you conttinually use
the config tools to start the flow to TEC, since that would re-create the
file anew every time. But there is no reason to do that.

Steve,
If what you say about the tecint.conf file being overwritten is true (and
thus you have a "chicken or the egg" type situation), please open a pmr
with the Tivoli Distributed NetView group so we can test/debug and fix
where appropriate.
thanks,

Subject: [NV-L] How to Forward to TEC without portmapper?
Problem-
Is it possible to forward to TEC without the NetView -> TEC handshake
having to use a portmapper call? This is a security violation for us and
this portmapper call will not be allowed. The problem - when forwarding to
TEC is initially turned on and the portmapper call fails NetView will not
forward to TEC.
Already tried-
I have read the readbook "Extending NetWork Management Through Firewalls"
section 4.5.
Forwarding to TEC with SNMP to the SNMP adapter on TEC will not work as
this is a very high maintenance solution for the TEC folks to maintain.
Have tried to put ServerPort=<my port> in /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf but
turning on forwarding to TEC nukes this file and therefore the port
designation is not effective. You have to add the ServerPort entry to the
file after forwarding is turned on then it is to late to help with the
portmapper issue (plus it gets written over every time a change is made and
forwarding has to be refreshed/restarted).
Any help ideas would be appreciated, as this issue is currently holding up
a monitoring project.
