Alain,

We have just completed (last weekend) and upgrade to NetView v5.1.1 on AIX
v4.2.1 and we have had no problems (once we removed a troublesome dependant
application that was no longer used). We also have Optivity NMS v8.1.1 and
have found no problems using it in this configuration.

>From my own experience, extensive testing helped as it allowed me to note
any problems that occurred on the test box (and there were several) and plan
how to fix/bypass them if they occurred during the production upgrade.

Regards

Ken Freeman
Woolwich plc

Hi,

I'll be migrating to NV5.1 (or NV 5.1.1 ?) on AIX 4.2.1 in July (from
NV4.1.2).

I'd like to know what the status (availability) is regarding :
Optivity
Transcend
ForeView

Any other comments/advise would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Al
