In the original HP design, which we inherited, Manage and Unmange are GUI
functions.  Witness for example this comment from the NetView Programmer's
Reference under OVwSetStatusonObject:

"The value ovwUnmanagedStatus is not valid and cannot be used to unmanage
an object;
unmanaging objects is solely under end user control."

So there is no CLI ofr this function because there is no documented API for
this function either, as things stand.


Now, I have been told that HP has since changed this, but they did not do
so in any code they shared with us.  So it is not currently a part of the
NetView product.  If you would like to see this function added, then I
suggest you send a note to netview@tivoli.com and request it.
