Hello,

We are planning our migration from NetView 4.1 to NetView 5.1.  One decision 
that we are pondering is whether to make our NetView Server a TME Server or a 
TME Managed Node of our existing TEC TMR.  (By the way, we have no NetView 
Client systems.)

I am getting the picture that the main use of the framework today is for 
install of NetView 5.1 and then after installation, NetView pretty much runs 
independent of the framework.  However, we have an interest in exploring the 
Tivoli Integration Pack for NetView in the near future and would also like to 
position ourselves for the future (when NetView has closer ties to the 
framework??).  That said, one major goal that we have is to keep our NetView 
system as insulated as possible from problems in the larger Tivoli environment.

Has anyone developed any guidelines for making the TMR Server vs. Managed Node 
decision?
Thanks much,
