I was
just curious. I would be helpful to have one, but like you said it would
be so Netview could be an agent to another NMS other than a Tivoli/IBM
product. In my opinion, it was/is soley a business decesion since having a
Netview internal MIB would only make it easier not to need Netview. There
is no business model that would make sense for that, at least a Netview
model.

I don't know
that there is any stated, formal or explicit reason why there isn't one, but
NetView itself has no need of a MIB documenting its traps. They are
already defined in trapd.conf and well documented in the Admin Guide appendix
(which is being updated in 7.1.4).
To create such a MIB, and keep it accurate, would require
development resources, and those would have to be approved by IBM management.
To sell management on that idea would mean having to sell them on
the idea that NetView should become an agent to another vendor's management
system.
Quite frankly,
there's no way that I can imagine that anyone could do that internally.
So if you think there is a need for such a thing, and you think you can
provide a business justification for it, then I encourage you to open an
enhancement request through your marketing rep or through a call to support.
Customers might be able to drive such a requirement but no one else
could.

No. There is
no such MIB.

Hello,
