Re: [nv-l] Netview 7.1 and Netview v2.3 OS390

[Bill Evans <wvevans@attglobal.net>]

You missed the revolution, Jane, when my old createion the Service Point 
connection of the early 90's was superceded by the Mult-System Manager. 
MSM provides an agent for NetView for AIX (don't remember if it also 
supports Solaris) and support on the S/390 side to do what the old 
AIX-SP does (traps to alerts) over a TCPIP session.  The MSM support at 
the 390 also translates the other way (alerts to traps).  

The total solution allows "discovery" of the topology known to NV-Unix 
and places the data in the RODM database.  The BSM or NV-390 graphics 
console then will display the TCPIP topology maps.  They are the same 
layouts as provided by NV-Unix but use the NV-390 graphing techniques.  

I still believe in SNA but it just never made sense to put the SNA 
support on the AIX box  just to link the NetViews.  

Hope this helps Peter.
