[nv-l] availability data

["Christopher J Petrina" <cjp8@meadwestvaco.com>]

In the suer group meeting they spoke about availibility data and snmp performance data being sent to DB warehouse.

What availability data are they speaking of?  Is this the data from the Netview (For Windows) That if you right click on an object and choose object properties it gives as one of the tabs the availability of the device.  And if so is there an equivalant to this in UNIX.  Cause in UNIX when you do object properties of a node or device it simply does a ovobjprint on that object there is no availability data?

Also in anyones opinion what would be the benefit to loading Netview via the TIVOLI FRAMEWORK vs.  Simply loading it as a non-tme stand alone server.  I understand that without loading it via framework I cannot connect to a relational database.  Which I guess has its usefulness in that with a relational database I can do queries against the database to gather information in a more formatted manner.   Anyone have preferences or thoughts about it.

Thanks
