Manually updating status in topology databases

["Pretorius, Vynita" <VPretorius@FNB.CO.ZA>]

Hi all

Please could you assist me with the following issue:

I send through application status i.e. down  via snmptrap, on the map it
changes to red  (status events), however when I do an ovtopodump  it states
that the device is up.

How do I upon receiving a trap update the map colours and the ip Topology
database with the correct status.

We are running Netview/AIX 5.1 , AIX 4.2.1

Thanks
Vynita
