I have TME10 NetView V5 with the new Nways Manager for AIX V1.2.1.  I
have applied the latest AIX maintenance we have here, including
IX70775.  So far, I have LAN and ATM components installed.  The box is a
43P-240 with 768Mb memory and 1.5Gb of swap.
Can anyone shed any light on the following:??

1) Online manuals - if you run NetView from the Tivoli Desktop (as we
want to) then you have to run /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh to setup various
environment variables.  This includes 3 vars to point dynatext at part
of the Tivoli tree structure.  If you do this, NetView help works fine
but the various on-line manuals for Nways fail - if you don't run the
setup script, Nways manuals work but NetView manuals and help fails.
Just adding the "other" collections to the respective .ebtrc files, does
NOT solve the problem because some of the NetView help seems to really
need some of the rest of the customisation that, presumably, has been
done in the Tivoli-style dynatext files.

I am running with the Tivoli setup and modify the NetView registration
files that callup Nways manuals and have them point to the Tivoli dtext
command.  I have added all extra commands from the standard .ebtrc to
the tivoli .ebtrc and this now seems to work fine.

2) I am sometimes seeing floods of message windows on starting the
NetView EUI, saying "Cannot start command for application xxx. Resource
temporarily unavailable.  It looks like something is running away and
spawning extra processes (user process limit is currently 40).  The only
way out seems to be to crash X, but restarting X and the NetView GUI
just goes around the same loop.

3) The java command always seems to have LOTS of CPU in a process list,
even if there is no Java activity (we have the RTE V1.1.4)

Any better ideas on the manuals problem, or help with the others, would
be appreciated.

Cheers, Jane
