I don't know how to tell you to get what you want outside of what they 
ship to you.
According to a quick search I did, they supply a MIB called, umsevent.mib, 
which defines a few traps, and an addtrap script which will define them to 
NetView NT.   So you should be able to modify the script to run on UNIX or 
run mib2trap against the MIB.    They also ship an nvsniffer config file 
which will cause nvsniffer on NT to discover their WEBM-based servers.  I 
don't think that will port too well to UNIX because nvsniffer there does 
not have the same capabilities, though this was improved for NetView 7.1

James,

That is actually what I am trying to track down
(Mibs/Trap definitions).  If at the very least the
mibs to run mib2trap against.  I cannot find the mibs
anywhere and the only reference to them is running an
upward integration from the IBM Director Application
to NT NetView.  Looks pretty straight forward except
we are currently not using NT NetView. There may be
way to extract them from the IBM Director setup files,
but would rather avoid this.  My ideal setup would be
to just run the UMS services on each of the IBM
X-Series servers and have them forward traps to
NetView (very similiar to Compaq Insight Manger). 

Trying to keep it simple.
