I am not certain what you are doing here, so I have nothing to give you but
other questions.
When you say you are doing this as a Tivoli task, do you mean that you
start the NetView GUI from the Framework context menu that looks like the
old SMIT menu, (you get that by right clicking the  NetView managed node
from the Tivoli desktop) under the Control option, or some other way?

When you start the map in the fashion, what does it say in the lower
left-hand corner?  Usually there is an indication of the map name, the user
who has it open, and whether it is read/write or read/only.

Further quirks with starting NetView from a Tivoli task.......
It appears that node deleting / adding doesn't work properly if done
from a NetView started via the Tivoli task described below.  If I delete
a node, I get no "Node deleted" event card, ovobjprint and ovtopodump
both show the node still and the node (obviously) never gets
re-discovered.

If I do exactly the same as me but by starting NetView via nv6000 from a
command prompt, it all works fine.

PLEASE can anyone shed light on this??

Cheers, Jane

NetView 5.1, Framework 3.6, AIX 4.2.1, ....

I have a Tivoli task that starts the NetView EUI (without going through
all the extra windows that you get from the standard Tivoli NetView
desktop menus).  I use the -nl option to prevent the NetView log.  This
works fine.

Unfortunately, started from the Tivoli task, NetView cannot find my
saved workspace environment which is in $HOME/NvEnvironment - standard
if you set the nvevents.saveEnvOnExit widget in your home .Xdefaults.
Everything else seems to be picked up fine from my own .Xdefaults and I
have put in nvevents.saveDir explicitly as $HOME/NvEnvironment.  I have
tried wrapping my EUI startup script with a command to source the Tivoli
environment and another to change to my home directory before calling
the netview command - all to no avail.  The script works fine run from
the command line and finds my saved workspaces OK.

Can anyone offer any clues??
Thanks, Jane
