Perhaps.  That's the point of doing it.  You want to make certain that you have 
not missed anything.

OK now it more clear, but

One thing to be sure,  the trapd.diff.out file should be empty if i do step
1 and 2 before, am i right ?

Thanks a lot

7.1.4

May be this will help.

There are no structural differences in trapd.conf between 7.1.3 and 7.1.4, only 
in content.  So yes, if you just want to drop down your 7.1.3 file on a 7.1.4 
system you can do that.

The only trapd.conf file which trapd loads on an English-language NetView is 
the one in /usr/OV/conf/C.

There is a very old trapd.conf, much smaller than the one in the C directory, 
which is a holdover for the migration process from NetView Version 2 to NetView 
Version 3 when the product was internationalized.  It should have been removed 
years ago but never was.  You can delete it.

When NetView is installed an unmodified copy of trapd.conf for that version is 
installed in  /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf

So the process we have been suggesting is.
(1) Shut down trapd (you might as well stop all the daemons) on your 7.1.4 
system and put your 7.1.3 trapd.conf in /usr/OV/conf/C
(2)  nvaddtrapdconf /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf
(3) diff -w /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf
/usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf >  trapd.diff.out
(4) The trapd.diff.out will tell you which  lines are different in the two 
files and you can make whatever additional changes you want to bring your new 
trapd.conf up to speed with 7.1.4.
(5) Restart the daemons  ( use /etc/netnmrc if you stop nvsecd)

Not sure i understand clearly,

Can i only replace the  the NV 7.1.4 trapd.conf  file (on server X) by the NV 
7.1.3 trapd.conf file (on server Y) ?

If yes, which trapd.conf file ? The one in /usr/OV/conf/C ?

You can shorten this process a bit by making the 7.1.3 trapd.conf your current 
one, and then using
      nvaddtrapdconf /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf
nvaddtrapdconf will not alter existing entries but it will add in any that are 
completely new.
Then you can follow Bill's procedure to merge in your differences.

I had that problem last year.  I ran DIFF against the current 7.1.3 
/usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf and the one in 
/usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf to identify the differences.
>From there it was a manual effort to merge the changes into the new
7.1.4 file.

Hi Guys,

Just wanna know how can i export/import all traps we have modify (in the 
Netview gui : Event configuration / Trap customization : SNMP) ?

If this is possible, can i export/import it from Netview 7.1.3 to Netview
7.1.4 ?

Thanks
