Hi Daniel, I am not answer your question directly but look for command 
nvdbformat in reference manual. It can help to get information from Netview 
databases. Besides, you can configure Netview to use a relational database to 
store topology, object, collect data, and traps information. Take a look in 
Netview Database Guide

        Hello Forum,
        
        Can someone help me understand where the DB files are stored for 
NetView?
        
        I specifically need to know the names if possible.  I've looked at 
/usr/OV/databases, but don't know essentially what files contain the IP 
Topology DB, Object DB, and Map DB.
        
        I'm looking for a way to export these files so that I can parse them 
and extract what I need to populate an external (centralized) DB.
        
        Thanks in advance,
        
        Dan
