Re: [NV-L] Switch to NETCOOL PRECISION IP

Jeff,

Here are a few other resouces available to poke around with and ask questions:

Migrating to Netcool/Precision for IP Networks --Best Practices for
Migrating from IBM Tivoli NetView :
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg247375.html

The Netcool Users list - ask something here about Precision/IP and
you'll get more opinions and comments about how it works (or doesn't).
They usually don't hold back here at all!
