Hi, Linda --
The nvdbimport command requires that the fields already be defined. Instead of
editing ovw_fields, though, you should create a separate file under
/usr/OV/fields/C, so that your modifications are clearly identifiable and to
make future migration or updates easier.
I noticed that you left a space after the comma in " CircuitID" after the
comma. The nvdbimport command will try to update the field " CircuitID"
instead of "CircuitID".
The commas in your Selection names would be interpreted as field delimiters.
I'm not sure if there's some sort of a workaround for that. Someone else may
be able to answer that.
