The NetView "Availability"
database is a new addition to the product (all platforms) as of 7.1.3.
It is a DB2 based database(named "NETVIEW" by default) that is
fed availability data by the new "tdwdaemon" daemon based on
status changes that are detected by netmon. The purpose of this new funcationality
is to feed the data to the "IBM Tivoli Enterprise Data Warehouse"
for reporting and for use in other products like "IBM Tivoli Service
Level Advisor".
It has nothing to do with the availability
feature within NetView for Windows and it has nothing to do with the NetView
Relational Database component.
As of 7.1.4, they extended the functionality
to include SNMP Performance data collected by the "snmpCollect"
daemon. In this case the snmpCollect daemon writes the data to the DB2
based NetView "Availbility & Performance" database (still
named "NETVIEW" by default). As with the availability data, the
SNMP performance data can be extracted to be inserted into the "IBM
Tivoli Enterprise Data Warehouse" for reporting or use in other products.

Subject:
[nv-l] availability data |
In the suer group meeting they spoke about availibility data and snmp performance
data being sent to DB warehouse.
What availability data are they speaking of? Is this the data from
the Netview (For Windows) That if you right click on an object and choose
object properties it gives as one of the tabs the availability of the device.
And if so is there an equivalant to this in UNIX. Cause in
UNIX when you do object properties of a node or device it simply does a
ovobjprint on that object there is no availability data?
Also in anyones opinion what would be the benefit to loading Netview via
the TIVOLI FRAMEWORK vs. Simply loading it as a non-tme stand alone
server. I understand that without loading it via framework I cannot
connect to a relational database. Which I guess has its usefulness
in that with a relational database I can do queries against the database
to gather information in a more formatted manner. Anyone have preferences
or thoughts about it.
Thanks
