I don't know what's in a TDF file, but for certain, NO trapd definitions
are automatically loaded in NetView by loading a MIB.  That is a separate
process.  You must use something like addtrap, or if you have a partial
trapd.conf file to merge with your existing one, you can use
nvaddtrapddconf.  There are man pages on both of these commands.

If you have Version 5.1 and you have a MIB file which defines traps, then
you can use mib2trap to generate both an addtrap script and a .baroc file
to add these traps to NetView and define them to TEC.  There is a man page
on this also.

I have come across TDF files when working with HP OpenView Professional. It
is the Trap Definition File, and is the way that traps are defined and
stored for that product.

If you are using Netwiev, then the trap definitions should get loaded when
you load the mib's for backup exec. The TDF file shouldnt be required.

Hope this helps

Jeff

 Subject: Loading a .TDF file into NetviewAix







Hi
I received a BKUPEXEC.TDF file from Seagate and they require that I load
it.
Please could somebody tell me how to load this File ?
(It contains trap definitions and an Enterprise id for Seagate).
I am running Netview 4.1.2 and AIX 4.1.5
Thanks
