restart the system for the system configuration
changes to take effect.
Netfinity Manager database support
Netfinity Manager supports the collection and export of a
vast amount of system-specific data to a Netfinity Manager
database.
Netfinity Manager databases can be created on database
management systems using DB2
®
, Lotus Notes
®
, or
Microsoft SQL. Microsoft SQL is supported through open
database connectivity (ODBC), and is available on systems
running Netfinity Manager for OS/2, Windows 95, or
Windows NT. If the system supports ODBC, the user can
access and export DB2 data through ODBC as well. Once
support for one or more of these databases has been
installed along with Netfinity Manager, data can be
exported from these Netfinity Manager services:
v Alert Manager
v Software Inventory
v System Information Tool
