You must put an X-emulation product on the users' machines. There
are several that work fine (eXceed, ReflectionX, Chameleon, others).

Access from Intel to AIX can be done a couple of ways, but not via the
Netview Client. That's for unix-to-unix, or nt-to-nt.

1) You can have them just telnet in to the Netview box, regardless of the
Tivoli Framework.  Export the DISPLAY and launch netview from the
commandline.

2) You can have them telnet in to either box and launch Tivoli, which will
launch a  Unix Tivoli Desktop assigned to that AIX userid that has the
NetviewServer resource on it. You launch the Netview gui from the context
menu.

3) You can have them launch the Tivoli Desktop for Windows that is
installed on their PCs, and assign them a desktop that has the
NetviewServer resource on it. You launch the Netview gui from the
context menu.

For 2 and 3, I have found that, for some reason, when Netview is
on a Managed Node rather than the TMR server, it is necessary to
do an 'xhost +' on the TMR server, otherwise the map will not open.

AND... you really do need to upgrade that 5.0 to 5.1 and then 5.1.2.
There are an awful lot of bugs fixed since 5.0.

Hello,

We currently have a 3.2 Tivoli TMR and Netview 5.0 installed on separate
AIX
boxes.

We are considering giving more users access to our Netview application.
These clients are using Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Windows 9x.

We are trying to decide on an architecture for deploying Netview to these
users.  Is it necessary to deploy a third party X11 package (e.g. Exceed)
to
these user's machine?  What is involved in configuring Netview clients for
access?

Any suggestions and comments would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Jay Pinkos
