You are not listening.
Oliver told you and now I am telling you, that between 7.1, when those
Release Notes were written, and 7.1.3, which is where you are now, that
development broke the migration path with regard to java. So now you must
have an existing NetView for the migration to work with regard to java.
You cannot just have a backup directory for this to work, though that was
the case in the past. They are planning on fixing this problem in 7.1.4,
but there is nothing anyone can do for you now. So just as we both said,
install NetView 7.1.3 clean first, and then migrate, if you want this to
work.

PROBLEM
James, I'M confuse...
look the release note for Netview 7.1 on Page 93
(Fresh Installation vs. Update Installtion) :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fresh Installation vs. Update Installation
The Tivoli NetView program provides two types of installations: Fresh
Installation and Update Installation.
Use the Fresh Installation when the Tivoli NetView program is not
currently
installed and you are not migrating any previously-saved Tivoli NetView
backup directories.
**********
Use the Update Installation to migrate from a previous version of the
Tivoli
NetView program (whether or not the NetView program is currently
installed). For the Update Installation to succeed, either the Tivoli
NetView
program must be installed, or a Tivoli NetView migration backup directory
must exist. Refer to "Appendix H, Files That Migrate" in the Tivoli
NetView
for UNIX Configuration Guide for information about creating a migration
backup directory.
************
If you are not migrating files from a previous version of the Tivoli
NetView
program, skip to"Installing the NetView Program in a non-Tivoli
Management Framework Environment" on page 98 or "Installing a Tivoli
NetView Server or Client" on page 103. Otherwise, continue to the next
section for information about tasks that you should perform before
upgrading
the Tivoli NetView program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So, if we want to re-create our production server with our brand new
pre-production server
what procedure should i do then ( this one or the one in the release note
7.1 )?
Install netview 7.1 (fresh install) on the new pre-production server
Install netview 7.1 (update install with /usr/OV.back.v7r1 from production
server)
after
Install Netview 7.1.3 (update install with no /usr/OV.back.v7r1
directories)

Yes, Dominic, that's the current situation, though am told that
development is working to fix it for future releases.
Using the upgrade path, the install code currently examines the old
version of the NetView java components on the box in order to decide what
to install, and when there is no current java, then the upgrade of the
java components fails. So to clone a 7.1.3 NetView for UNIX on a new
box, you have to install it fresh first, and then add your migration
directory, and finally install it again as an upgrade.

If i understand :
to do a netview upgrade install we must at least ever have a old version
installed
WE CANNOT install Netview as a upgrade if we only have the
/usr/OV.back.v7r1
directories ?
Am i right ?
Thanks
Dominic
