Re: [nv-l] how to create reports

[Gareth Holl <gholl@us.ibm.com>]

NMAVAILABILITY flag was added to the
netmon.conf file. There shouldn't be a need to code this in any other file
if you are using 7.1.4. The NMAVAILABILITY flag has nothing to do with
tdwdaemon.

TDWAVAILABILITY flag is related to tdwdaemon
and tells netmon to notify tdwdaemon when there is a state change for the
nodes netmon is managing. tdwdaemon will compare the hostname to the list
of nodes it is suppose to care about (based on the list of Smartsets provided
in the /usr/OV/conf/tdwdaemon.properties file) and write an availability
record to a DB2 database (called "NETVIEW" by default) which
has to have been previously created (via serversetup).

I have:
NMAVAILABILITY=1
export NMAVAILABILITY

in /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre . This file may not exist unless you create
it.  It is called by the netnmrc startup script and is specifically
for 
setting environment variables you want passed to the NetView server 
processes.  You will need to recycle the NetView daemons before this
takes effect.  (I used to have it in /usr/OV/bin/NVenvironment but
was 
advised that adding to this file is not supported (seemed to work though)
).

After that, you should get a daily file in /usr/OV/databases.  Simply
test by generating a Node Down event and the file should get created. 

Not sure exactly where this functionality came in.  NetView 7.1.4
FP2 
and above you are definitely OK - not sure about 7.1.3.

Cheers,
Jane
