Subject: Re: [nv-l] NetView 7.1.3 ignores
MS SQL server
Unfortunately you cannot
use SQL Server with NetView for Windows unless the SQL Server is both
installed and running at the time of the NetView install. The proper
schemas and so on are only created at install time.
There is no way to cause NetView to switch to SQL
Server after the fact. So you will have to re-install NetView to use it,
if it was not available before. And there is no provision for anything
remote.
NetView topology is
not kept in the SQL databases by default, though traps are, because NetView
for Windows does not use an RDBMS for topology data himself . Internally
it uses the same spares file structure as the UNIX version. You can look
in the \usr\ov\databases\odbc directory and see which relational databases are
populated.
The utility nvdbexport
is used to export data to an SQL Server database for further analysis or
report generation. It is not a way to cause NetView to use the
SQL server instead of Access. Per the NetView User's Guide, the
definition for nvdbexport states:
This utility exports the NetView object database into an SQL
database for either Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server. You can either
export the entire database into a set of tables, or use the configuration file
to customize the table formats and populate them with entries based on rules.
For example, you can create a table containing just the critical nodes and
relevant fields, such as IP Hostname and sysContact. Then use an SQL report
writer to generate reports.
Hope this helps

| [nv-l] Netview 7.1.3
ignores MS SQL server |
|
Hello,
could someone advice me with this
please ?
We installed Netview 7.1.3 on Windows 2000 server, where MS
SQL server was installed locally before for that purpose.
It should
therefore use MS SQL for storing data.
The install log says , SQL database
was created succesfully,
but Netview seems not to use it, because after
topology discovery, SQL databases remain empty.
(Despite of that
fact, Netview seems to work properly).
Further, can I tell Netview to
use ODBC connection to remote MS SQL server later ?
Many
thanks
