You are missing a piece - Tivoli's Relational database Interface Manager
(RIM for short).  RIM manages the RDBMS, and then only certain ones.   And
NetView exports using RIM command not directly.

All this is explained in the NetView Database Guide which came with the
product.

If you want to export data directly, then you are on your own.

Subject:  export SNMPcollect data to a RDBMS





Hi all
Can Somebody confirm the following scenario.
I have a management station with Netview 5.1 on AIX. I want to export data
collected via SNMPCollect to a RDBMS (for example MS-SQL installed on a NT
server). From this RDBMS, I can carry out query as good seems to me.
If you can confirm the right of this scenario, can you give me the
references of the commands to be given to export SNMPCollect data and the
format of the data.
Thank you in advance
