I don't understand what you don't understand.  Are you not aware that
Version 6.0 shipped after 5.1.2 was out but before 5.1.3?

There are currently two versions of NetView that are fully supported,
NetView Version 5.1 and NetView Version 6.0.  But the proper and most
current level  of maintenance for each of these is currently 5.1.3 and
6.0.1 respectively.  So the next level of each will be 5.1.4 and 6.0.2,
respectively.  Is that not what you mean by incremental numbering?   The
fact that 6.0.2  will ship before 5.1.4 only reflects IBM/Tivoli's usual
policy to de-emphasize the old version once the new one is available.  Once
you could no longer order 5.1 from marketing, putting fixes in it took a
back seat to putting fixes in 6.0.  Would you expect anything else?
Unless something drastically changes,  5.1.4 will be the last release of
maintenance for Version 5.1, and 6.0 will remain the primary focus of
maintenance until NetView 7.0 comes out.   I hope this is clear.

I also want to be sure that you saw my other append in which I corrected
the APAR number I reported in the bottom note.  The APAR you are waiting
for is PJ27372.
That's the one that makes NetView for NT's trap formatting match NetView
for UNIX's handling of default enterprise id's, so that  any trap coming in
with an enterprise id of 1.3.6.1.4.1.62.1.*  will match a trapd definition
of 1.3.6.1.4.1.62 if nothing more specific is defined.

Thanks James for your information. I am bit confused with the version
number
you used in your mail. You mentioned 6.0.2 in first quarter and 5.1.4 in
thrid. Are you guys not using version number in incremental manner.
regards
sanjeev

No, you are too back level for that support on NetView for NT.  On UNIX
that support has always been there, except that you do not code the "*" at
all, you just code  the enterprise as 1.3.6.1.4.1.62.1 and anything more
specific than that which is not defined will default to that.  This support
will be available in NetView for NT after IY11761, which will be available
in 5.1.4  and 6.0.2.  We expect 6.0.2 to ship in the first quarter and
5.1.4 by the third.

Hi All
Our printers send generic traps with sysobjID in the Enterprise field of
trap PDU. Each printer has different sysObjectID.
Does Trap Settings dialog box support wild card(e.g Enterprise =
1.3.6.1.4.1.62.1.*) entry in the Enterprise section. I don't want to create
one entry for each printer.
I know HP Openview support it.
I am using WINNT 4.0 with Netview 5.1.2.
Thanks

regards
sanjeev
