It's described in the NetView for UNIX 6.0.1/2 Release Notes p3.  To wit:

Acknowledged Status Import/Export Capabilities...

A new global-based mode for Acknowledge is available in Tivoli
NetView for UNIX V6.0.1. When global-based mode is set, the
Acknowledged status is an object attribute. All NetView clients are
notified when an object is acknowledged or unacknowledged
immediately, regardless of which map is open and even if the action
is performed on a read-only map. In addition, the Acknowledged
status can be set on an object from the command line, permitting the
transfer of the Acknowledged status to backed up NetView databases.

Global-based Mode
This section describes the global-based mode in more detail.
To activate the global-based mode, set the environment variable
NVMAPGLOBALACK equal to 1 on the NetView machine. It must
be set before you invoke the NetView console.

Global Acknowlege Mode? I have searched the Administrators Guide and didn't 
see this one. How do you do this?
