I was figuring that installing netview as stand alone was fine. The only true benefit I see in installing framework then netview, is that if I use a RIM for RDBMS then all my data that is in the flat files will be put into a (inour case) Oracle database. That way if I want to gather some odd information, such as all devices that are unmanaged, I can use a iSQL script to pull the data from the tables. I know it can be done using nvdbformat as well, but to write a isql script is much simpler. Plus we have other applications that can access the data as well.
To me right now that is the only benefit I see to loading it via framework. Netview for Windows had topo2sql whichw ould do a dump of the flat files into a .mdb format the UNIX side has no such creature.
