Sensitivity:
If you do a backup first, using serversetup then all those customizations 
should be preserved when you do the upgrade install.  A backup of all user 
data (Maintain -> Backup) will preserve everything you have mentioned. 

The deal behind all this is that in order to use a RDBMs with NetView for 
UNIX you must have the Tivoli RIM.  RIM functions like ODBC on Windows. It 
provides the interface to the underlying RDBMs so the application program 
does not have to be re-compiled for every new release of the RDBMS.  But 
RIM requires the Tivoli Framework.  And RIM has to be there for the 
install to succeed. Thus without the Framework you cannot install the 
Database Component.
Even if you could force the install  without RIM, it would do you no good, 
because the code wouldn't run.


If you aren't convinced, then my advice is to get another box and ftp the 
backup over there.  Then install the Framework and RIM.  You are 
down-level with 7.1.3 and could use this opportunity to move to 7.1.4.

[nv-l] NetView Data Base Component install






Hello All, 
        I'm running NV 7.1.3, FP03, which I installed outside the Framework. 
Now I 
want to add the database component and have been told it must be installed 
via the Framework, on a NetView that was also installed via the Framework. 
I've seen some discussion in the Archive about a technique to minimize 
this pain; take a backup, uninstall and re-install via Framework as an 
upgrade to preserve customizations, etc. There was also some comment 
indicating there may be problems with this technique.
        Does anyone know if there's a way to add the database component without 
totally removing NetView, doing a fresh install and re-doing the 
customizations? We've customized traps, maps, built rules and added 
function to some pull-downs. I sure would like to take this with us. 
Anything that would lessen the effort would be a help.
Thanks.
