Yes, Dominic, that's the current situation, though am told that 
development is working to fix it for future releases.
Using the upgrade path, the install code currently examines the old 
version of the NetView java components on the box in order to decide what 
to install, and when there is no current java, then the upgrade of the 
java components fails.  So to clone a  7.1.3 NetView for UNIX on a new 
box, you have to install it fresh first, and then add your migration 
directory, and finally install it again as an upgrade.

If i understand :

to do a netview upgrade install we must at least ever have a old version
installed

WE CANNOT install Netview as a upgrade if we only have the 
/usr/OV.back.v7r1
directories ?

Am i right ?

Thanks
Dominic
