Thanks for the reply.
This is what my first impressions were when doing my initial research. Like
you said, even if I can get the traps forwarded from Netview, for example,
will they be able to correlate them. I would like to -think- yes, but we
wont know until we try. And even if they do, that is only step one.
Thanks again,

Good luck. In my opinion, HP has spent no small amount of time and effort
to stop using the APIs they initially wrote when NetView was cloned from
OpenView (back in the Version 1 days, almost ten years ago) to prevent
exactly this. They no longer even support the direct forwarding of traps
from our trapd to theirs, though you could configure NetView's trapd to
forward all his traps to OpenView using udp. But what OpenView will do with
them, other than display them, is anyone's guess. Ditto for the reverse
flow.
I know for a fact that the databases are not transferable.
You could have a NetView and an OpenView monitoring the same devices, but
other than having two separate management systems polling the same devices,
I don't know what this would accomplish.

I know this may not be the best question, but it is an initiative I will be
working on in the near future.
Has anyone gotten Tivoli Netview and HP Openview to 'communicate' by any
means?
I know this is a very broad question, but my company uses both Netview and
Openview. I have been asked to look into how to get them to talk to each
other if at all possible. If they cannot communicate on the surface, I will
be looking to write an application at the socket level for communication
with respect to traps and status delivery.
All input is appreciated,
