Julie,

In IMHO - the Web Console is easier to setup. I played with the Web Client
on 6.0.2 and Win 95 PCs. It required some changes to the startup desktop
icon; you had to extract the install files etc.  Most of my experience is
with 7.1.1 though. For the new Web Console, all you need is a good browser.
I did have to install Java 1.3.1_2 plug on on one browser. The webserver and
mibserver are under the control of PMD. So there is no trouble starting all
the daemons. Try 7.1.1 Web Console. The security and scope setup is very
nice.

Subject: [nv-l] Web Console vs Java client


We are running AIX 4.3.3 and NetView 6.02.

Our NOC is using a Linux box to x-window back a read/write NetView map and
then
using the Java client on their workstations to do their day to day network
management.

My question is, in most of the documentation I've read, I see tons of stuff
about the web console and using the web browser, but not a whole lot about
the
java client.
This was all implemented and configured before my time, so I'm looking for
some
documentation about the java client, the differences between it and the web
console -pros/cons (I heard about some performance issues?).

So, bottom line.....anyone know of a "NetView Java client for Dummies" book?

Thanks
