	Oracle does not support OpenView directly.
	You can use the SNMP traps that are send by the Oracle Intelligent
	agents, or:
	The OEM Console can track all open problems and send a message
	to e-mail and/or pager.
	I checked early this year for a "smart-plugin" that handled
	information from OEM and the HP website did show one.
	But it tied the OEM version to the HP/OV ITO version,
	v5 with 2.1 and v6 with 2.2, which is a maintenance nightmare.
	So we took a simpler approach and wrote a script (sh+sql) that
	dumped all OEM messages in a logfile. The HP/OV ITO logfile
	monitor picked these up.
