How to Reconfigure NetView before Removing the NerveCenter OpenView Platform Adapter

During a typical NerveCenter OpenView Platform Adapter installation, some NerveCenter-specific information is configured into NetView. Before you remove NerveCenter, you should reconfigure NetView.

To reconfigure NetView:

Shut down the NerveCenter Server and applications.
Do one of the following to display the map properties:

UNIX: From the Options menu in the NetView's Root window, choose Map Configuration: Modify Map.

The Map Description window is displayed.

Windows NT: From the Map menu, select Properties.

The Map Properties window is displayed.

Do one of the following to display the NerveCenter configuration information:

UNIX: From the Configurable Applications list, select OPEN NerveCenter.
Windows NT: From the Applications tab, select OPEN NerveCenter.

Select Configure For This Map.

The OPEN NerveCenter Configuration window is displayed.

For Enable NerveCenter for this map, select False.
Select Verify, then OK.
Do one of the following to display the IP map configuration information:

UNIX: In the Configurable Applications list box, select IP Map.
Windows NT: From the Applications tab, select IP Map.

Select Configure For This Map.

The IP Map Configuration window is displayed.

For Should status of nodes be IP/IPX only?, select True.
Select Verify, then OK.

NerveCenter can no longer change symbols on the IP map.

Select OK to close the Map Description window.
From the Options menu, choose Event Configuration.

The Event Configuration window is displayed.

Select OPEN_NerveCenter from the Enterprise Identification list box.

All OPEN NerveCenter events are displayed in the Event Identification list box.

Select the first event and select Edit, then Delete, then Event. Repeat this step for every NerveCenter event.

Removing events isn't required but does leave your platform installation less cluttered with old information.

While OPEN_NerveCenter is still selected, select Edit, then Delete, then Enterprise.
Close the Event Configuration window.
Exit NetView and stop all NetView's processes.

Typically you can do this by typing ovstop at the command line and pressing Enter. (On Windows NT, you can also select NNM Services - Stop from the Start menu.)

On Windows NT, delete the OPEN NerveCenter registration, help, and symbol files. (On UNIX, these files will be deleted automatically.)

These files are:

installation_path\registration\C\ncapp.reg
installation_path\symbols\C\Software\NCApp
installation_path\bin\ovdelobj
installation_path\lrf\ovpa.lrf
installation_path\fields\C\ncapp.fields

installation_path is the installation directory for NetView.

Restart NetView processes.

Typically you can do this by typing ovstart at the command line and pressing Enter. (On Windows NT, you can also select NNM Services - Stop from the Start menu.)

After you have reconfigured NetView so NerveCenter is no longer integrated with it, you can remove NerveCenter.
