My 7.1.3 system (with FP1) shows colmaint with a date of Sept. 9, 2002 so
we are still shipping it. I cannot say whether it will always remain (in
NetView Version 7.2 or 8 or whatever is next), but having shipped in 7.1,
it must remain a part of all 7.1 iterations.
As an alternative, you could use nvUtil to do the same job only you'd
probably have to write a script to do it, so it's not as easy. But
"nvUtil G" will list all your smartsets and rules on one system. Then you
could use "nvUtil a <name> <description> <rule>" on the new one to create
it there. See the man page on nvUtil.
For complex rules the create is a bit tricky. If the names or
descriptions have spaces in them, then they must be enclosed in quotes.
Rules should always be enclosed in quotes, so if your rule has internal
quotes, then you will need to escape them so that the shell won't object.
It's not as hard as it looks. I listed my Smartsets and then created
similar ones with "nvUtil a" until I got the hang of it.
I am not advocating that colmaint be dropped in favor of this nvUtil
method, I am only pointing out that it works. So theoretically your could
create your own migration utility if you are so inclined. Do I think
NetView should provide one, if and when, colmaint goes away? Sure. But
that's another issue.
Hope this helps

This command is deprecated. Now, for Smartsets functions you use nvUtil.
But it does not have this feature (dump the smartsets).
Even this, "colmaint" was coming in the distributions. But I could not
find it in my Netview 7.1.3 (RH8). I cannot check again right now to be
sure, this was a time ago.
Am I wrong? If not, anybody knows an alternative?
