Here's a clip from the Dec. 2003 7.1.3 Fixpack 2 notes which addresses the issue:

Note to be added to future versions of the IBM Tivoli NetView Release Notes:

The Scope feature of the NetView Web Console requires not only the default map open - with the name "default" - but this map must be open in read/write mode. Customers can configure web accounts to effectively view "read-only" maps by just removing the manage/unmanage and acknowledge/unacknowledge actions from the role their account is configured for. Although a user using such an account would really be viewing a read-write map, he/she would not be able to modify the map in any way and therefore it would effectively be read-only.

Subject: [nv-l] no open map in webconsole [ virengeprüft]

hi list,

the problem: i have one map (default) opend by netviewd in RO; one

webconsole is open as superuser and has defaultmap RO with  no scopes;

other webconsole will open the defaultmap as supersuer (diff. users!) an

has a scope ... but this one getting "no open map"

If I do open an map by Xterm, it works.

my systems are: AIX and NV 7.1.4 FP1 (webconsole is win2K)
