Hello Claire and James, First, thanks for your responses. To answer James' questions : You told me what I want to read with FP3 and FP 4 patches under Windows 2k3 : a long time test have been made, it's better. But two posts indicate that users may have some problems (Usman Taokeer, 01/08/2006 12:27, subject : [NV-L] Win 2003 SP1), and the original question posted on 7/28/06 by Jane Curry <jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk > [thanks for their posts too, I quote the Jane's mail] : "I am working with a client who wants to run NetView 7.1.4 FP4 on Win2k3 with SP1. I know in the past that SP1 was NOT supported and could cause pain - been there, got the T-shirt (with NV FP3). I don't see anything in the readme for NetView Fixpack 4 that suggest that Win2k3 SP1 IS now supported. Does anyone know either whether it is / is not formally supported, or, does anyone have any confident stories to tell of using NV 7.1.4 FP4 with Win2K3 SP1???" That's why I had doubs about all the Win 2k3 and NetView v7.1.4 version (FP3 and 4, I've noticed FP5 is not yet to download) - to justify my earlier questions. Could you confirm that or not entirely ? This do help me to have an opinion about it. To answer Claire, the DB growth with MS Access is surely a big problem you will not see later with DB2, I confirm. I don't know about Tivoli Remote Control effect, if you have some detail (is that like the GUI NetView Client ?), I will be happy. Your feedback is a very useful one too, that a lot. Best regards, Denis PIAROTAS
Hi Denis, How about some unsolicited feedback from a frontline newbie? I've been using NV 7.1.4 (FP4) on Windows 2003 Standard Edition for close to a year. Whilst I did have some issues, I've learnt how to avoid them in the future. The first big problem I had was the server that I had inherited was administered via Windows Remote Desktop Connection. This meant that my various databases were corrupted and I had all sorts of object problems. After a lengthy PMR, a fresh install was recommended. Since then, I use Tivoli Remote Control for my day-to-day tasks and have had no further object problems. The second issue I had was because I was using the default MS Access install for my snmpcollect database, this meant I had to regularly compact the database and basically, it just became painful as it would fill my nv.log every three days with Access errors. Another "gotcha" is the files I had to copy of from \usr\ov\newconfig to get TEC forwarding working properly for devices with dozens of interfaces. The lack of correlation in the Windows version is annoying but that wouldn't vary between Windows versions. Honestly, had I paid meticulous attention to every detail in the release notes, I could have avoided these problems. (I also expect to get paid out at the next Melbourne TUG meeting now that I have admitted my newbish mistakes!) Whilst, I have since upgraded to 7.1.5 (using DB2) because I have new hardware, I had 7.1.4 (FP4) running quite nicely on Win2k3 :) Hope this helps, Claire Bajelis From: nv-l-bounces@lists.ca.ibm.com [mailto:nv-l-bounces@lists.ca.ibm.com] On Behalf Of James Shanks Sent: Tuesday, 5 December 2006 5:59 AM To: Tivoli NetView Discussions Subject: Re: [NV-L] Tr : NetView v7.1.4 FP3 to FP 5 with Windows compatibility What's not working fine?

like that? It's like some saying you are immoral -- does that mean you

Hello James and all the Networkers, We do recently change our OS Windows version : moved from 2000 adv. server to 2003 Standart Edition. Some of our technical relations told us that the latter (Windows 2003) is not worthing fine with the NetView v7.1.4 FP3 that we use, or with the FP5 that we are going to install in a near future. Could you confirm (or discredit) this saying ?
