James...shouldn´t these new categories be added to the new trapd.conf
through the nvaddtrapdconf command ?
I did use the command to merge the trapd files from another NV server to
the new one, there were several new categories there for mainframe events,
and the merging process executed without any errors or warnings...
Thanks.
