Kevin,

another thing that's worth to mention.
Since NetView 7.1 NetView is comming with its own environment file.
So you don't need the Tivoli environment file (setup_env.sh) any more.
Source it like the Tivoli one with:
. /usr/OV/bin/NVenvironment

Kind regards

Oliver

Kevin,

To help determine why it works at boot time and fails from the command
line,
You can do a find on the system:
"find  /  -fstype jfs  -type f  -name libtas.a  -ls"
Note the different copies you find.
Then determine the correct library by examining the LIBPATH environment
variable value in a trapd trace run momentarily.
Issue the command "trapd -T" twice (five seconds apart) from the command
line while all the daemons are running correctly.
Look in /usr/OV/log/trapd.trace and see the environment printed there.  You
should see the LIBPATH that works for the daemons.
Issue echo $LIBPATH from the command line.  It should be different than the
other one.
You should see a match between the two LIBPATH's and the output of the find
command.

Geo.

The only thing I can think of is that this is our TSM server as well. HMM.
Could this be causing the problem?
I can halt and restart TSM without any problems

Thanks,

Kevin,

I meant to ask,

Did you install NetView using the stand-alone command line on a machine
that also has Framework installed?

The symptom you have is that there is more than one level of Framework
shared libraries on the system.  You get a mixed bag via an incorrect
LIBPATH from the command line.  netnmrc gets it right at boot time.

Geo.

NetView daemons are ALL stopped via "/usr/OV/bin/ovstop nvsecd".  If you
have another daemon such as the tdwdaemon or another 3rd part daemon
registered in ovsuf, you will have to stop that too.  Basically when the
last daemon is stopped (normally nvsecd because all others are dependent),
ovspmd will shut itself down.

Kevin,

There is an environment created when you do /etc/netnmrc that the programs
run in. Finding the right libraries is part of that. If you do the command
'ovstart ovtopmd', it is actually telling ovspmd to start ovtopmd. However,
if ovspmd was not started the right way, it will not have the proper
environment to pass onto ovtopmd. ovtopmd will die with the message that
you see

Let's try to fix this by doing:

ovstop (this should stop all the daemons)

/etc/netnmrc (this should start all the daemons with the right environment
)
