NetView for Solaris and AIX and virtually identical as far as user
customization and maps go. Why not just do a migration install on the
Solaris machine? Use serversetup Maintain --> Backup Selective Data to
make a backup copy of your current NetView (ALL.USER should preserve your
customizations). This will create a new directory structure
/usr/OV.back.v7r1. Tar up that and move it to your Solaris machine. Then
do an upgrade install on Solaris. NetView will find the backup directory
and merge your customizations from the AIX system into the new Solaris
one.

Subject: [nv-l] NetView for UNIX, AIX to Solaris?
I have a situation now where I will be installing NetView 7.1.3 on a
Solaris machine.
My main NetView is on AIX. Do any folks on this list run a "mixed NetView"
shop?
I am wondering if I can somehow take all my customizations on the AIX side
(7.1.2)
and apply them to the NetView on Solaris (7.1.3). This will save a load of
file editing
if it can be done. (The Solaris NetView is in a DMZ and will have no
connection to
the AIX NetView whatsoever. I cannot even FTP between the 2 machines, so I
will
have to tar some files and phsically copy them to the new box via a CD or
a tape,
if I can "transfer" the settings.)
Anyone tried something like this before, or been in a similar situation
that can give
me some pointers as to what to watch out for?
Cheers,
Kevin.
