Jason  is correct.   SMIT still works for AIX.  And what you are doing is
configuring the trapd daemon. So you could do that manually.

 For example, suppose you wanted to add "-m  myNetView.mycompany.com" as
the destination for traps.  Then you could
(1) cd /usr/OV/lrf
(2) edit trapd_dm.lrf
(3) between where it says  "OVs_YES_START:nvsecd,pmd:"  and
":OVs_WELL_BEHAVED::" is where you put any options.
     If you have none so far you will just see the 2 colons back-to-back,
like this "::" .  In there you simply type the -m option.
Using the example above you would have
      OVs_YES_START:nvsecd,pmd:-m
myNetView.mycompany.com:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED::
(4) ovstop trapd   (all daemons which depend on him will stop now also, so
be careful when you do this)
(5) ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/trapd_dm.lrf
(6) ovaddobj /usr/OV/lrf/trapd_dm.lrf
(7) ovstart

This is essentially what the Framework/SMIT script does for you.  It is
only a convenience tool.

Once you have trapd running with the -m option to the correct host, then
when you set the Forward button for a trap using Event Configuration, trapd
will forward it.    If you want all trapd to be forwarded, then use the -M
option and you won't have to mess with Event Configuration.

I hope this is clear enough.

Tivoli Desktop is the recommended way and currently the only solution on
Solaris and DEC - however, the ability to configure through SMIT on AIX
still exists (legacy from NV 4.x and below)

You can also configure certain options through CLI commands (running same
calls the Tivoli Desktop uses)  Most dialog boxes have a "Show Command"
button which shows you the command the tool is using...

Excuse my ignorance, but you said it can be done via smit or TME Desktop.
So
that means you DON'T HAVE to do it through desktop?  I thought all
configuration/customization to NetView has to be done through desktop now.
Is
that also true for configuring event forwarding to TEC?
