James,
The short story is, I have a working rule with NetView on AIX 7.1.4.
Basically the rule checks to see if object in event is a member of a
Smartset and then sends out an e-mail.
When I move the rule to Windows and have the Smartsets created just like
AIX, nothing happens. I have tried to change the e-mail command in the
rule to match what windows requires, but still nothing. If I manully run
nvmail, I can get mail sent to someone. Just can not make it go from the
rule.
That's why I was looking for a sample rule that really works to see what
syntax was making it work. Maybe I am missing a backslash or something.

Using, and creating, rulesets for Windows is difficult so most people just
drive the command or a bat file from Trap Settings. Since there's no
ruleset editor most folks have to create them on UNIX first and then modify
them with Wordpad on Windows. The you have to start nvcord with that rule
active. And since Windows does not have an actionsvr process, the ruleset
would use an in-line action run by nvcord himself, something like this,
TrapSettings ==> In-line action
This would be suicide on UNIX because nvcorrd is right in the middle of the
event flow in the UNIX architecture, but on Windows, he 's optional. He
only sees the traps after they have been stored in the ODBC database.
NetView for Windows provides the nvmail command so you can send mail to an
SMTP server, or you can do it yourself with Perl. Either way you usually
have to write a script of some sort and if your ruleset is not more
complicated than what I showed above, then you might as well just run it as
a hidden command by trapd.
Are you having problems with nvmail?

Does anyone have a simple rule for NetView 7.1.4 for windows that can send
an e-mail? I can make it work for AIX but not windows.
please send to:
