I do not know. Our TSM people have asked us to use these MIB's:
adsmserv.mib
AcslsMib.mib
I am attempting to review ALL monitoring options; then, to compare
available functionality to specific requirements -- which have yet to be
stated.

Precisely one of the questions I hope to answer. I have NOT yet
acquired the MIB's; so, I do not know exactly what they do. I have
reviewed the BAROC files. Is there a one-to-one correspondence between
the SNMP and TEC functionality?
Anybody here already used BOTH?
Since even Netview sends events to TEC for correlation, and for
notifying administrators of problems; I would like to simplify this
process by going directly from TSM to TEC. However, we will consider
implementing both approaches if there is mutually exclusive value from
both approaches ...

Yes, I am reviewing this. I have NOT found where that resource compares
the two approaches. What am I missing?

Yes, I will pursue this. Thank you, for your participation in this
matter.
