Jane,
      For NetView 7.1.4 we are running state correlation on the NetView
Server.  One of the things we are doing that for is to add a new slot onto
each event for the fully qualified hostname.  If you are still running with
TEC 3.8 the fqhostname value is not defined in the baroc files.  To check
if this is the problem run a wtdumprl on the TEC server and you should see
the forwarded events from Netview and getting "Parsing Failed" errors.  If
that is the case, the simple workaround would be to add an entry for
fqhostname in root.baroc (I would use root.baroc because ITM will also be
sending fqhostname in their next fixpack).  If thats not the case, well, we
got a different issue then :-)

On a side note there are things we did specificly in NetView 7.1.4 that
will interact only with TEC 3.9 (out of the box).  Service Impact events
will also fail to parse when sent to a 3.8 TEC server.

thanks,

Jane,  there is a change in the TEC architecture to allow non-TME events to
take advantage of the SCE on the gateway.  This is done through the gateway
receiver which receives events through sockets and passes them on to the
TEC gateway SCE.  Since you have not upgraded  toTEC 3.9  and have not
configured your gateway to enable the gateway receiver, and James says
"Non-TME or not nvserverd will try to use the SCE on the gateway"   this is
probably why your events have stopped flowing up to TEC.

Jane -

You are asking me TEC questions that I cannot answer for certain.
My understanding was that the SCE code was now part of the EIF library
functionality that we as an adapter link with.
But I could be wrong about that.

I see references to State Correlation in the TEC User's Guide.  When they
talk about the Java API that's what they are talking about.  And the also
use the term State Correlation in Appendix C.

All that NetView is doing with this is stuff is providing the Service
Impact events.  That's how they are generated.

Thanks James - interesting.  Presumably this is only true if nvserverd
and the sce are on the same box (as is my case)???  Otherwise, I don't
see how nvserverd will ever find the sce??

Do you know of anypointers for documentation in this area?
Thanks again,
Jane
