3228.0. "PROBEwatch V3.3x user manual?" by LEMAN::PAIVA (Hawkeye - Network Support @GEO) Fri Feb 02 1996 08:21

    Hi!
    
      I had a customer having problems with PROBEwatch for Digital Unix
    V3.31 because he only received the installation manual which went OK.
      However, he didn't have any directions after that. So what I did was
    copy over the net the version available on bhub (V3.32) and install it;
    even ran the IVP: OK. Without any other directions, I went to /usr/.smdb.
    to check the .inv of PROBEwatch to see that everything had been installed
    in /usr/kits/PROBEwatch. Being a user of PROBEwatch for Windows, I knew
    the file to execute was nsman.
      But then it complained about NSHOME env. var. not being set. The
    solution is is NAC::NIPG:[manage.rmon]pw_osf.tip execute .netscout and
    then you can launch nsman (in the bin subdir).
      I also saw in NAC that a pw_use.man was there which I copied.
    It's for UNIX OK but V3.1... Nevertheless, it never tell you about all
    this, it just says "When you start PROBEwatch, the Main screen appears..."
    
      So the questions are, where can I find the V3.3x User manual and 
    shouldn't the instructions to avoid the above stated problem be written
    somewhere in the docs the customer receives?
    
      Cheers,
    
      Pedro
