Still no answer?
OK, i did it the hard way now. See this little roadmap below for some hints how
to do...
- removed all database files with rm -r /usr/OV/databases/openview/*
- Loaded an "empty" backup of the DB's (hint: if you create your maps from
scratch add all location icons and then make a backup of the DB's bevor
discovering anything)
- loaded all devices which have to be managed using loadhosts (hint: always
keep a list of the devices which should be managed, by example using a
collection-rule "all Nodes with IP-status not unmanaged" and nvUtil l to export
the list daily)
- loaded the collection rules with colmaint -l (previosly exported with colmain
-d)
- just left with moving all objects into the appropriate Location (this problem
is solved in V6, it seems that others have had this too... ;-).

No. Sorry, I forgot to mention this. Only map "Default" exists, no other map,
no client maps. That's because I know these problems... . And I have read-write
access to everything, too.

I don't suppose you have multiple maps and have only deleted the objects from
one of the maps. The objects will not be deleted from the database if they
exist on another map. This one bugged me for days.

Netview V5.1.2 / AIX 4.3.1
Coming back from holidays I found some new Objects in Netview which were not
discovered correctly because no snmp communities were defined in Netview, so I
decided to delete them and let them be discovered again.
Problem: after deleting an object (mainframe) from the map (only the
default-map exists, no client maps) the object remains in the object database.
All daemons are running obviously normal.
Verified with ovtopodump and ovmapdump: no trace of the deleted Object
(ip-addresses, object-name).
ovobjprint shows the object as still there.
ovmapcount shows Exists count current = 0 correct = 0, Managed count current
= 0, correct = 0.
I tried almost all options of ovtopofix, ovmapcount, ovwdbdmap, no result.
Tried all options with smitty nv6000 to resolve database inconsistencies and
doing database compression, no result.
I can add the object again with Edit -> Add -> Object, getting the warning that
it already exists and only a new symbol will be created. Deleting it again has
the same result as before, it remains in ovwdb.
ovtopofix -r is of no help, as the objects are only in the object database and
not in topology db.
The log files found in /usr/OV/log show no errors.
There is a lot of free disk space.
Only some hint's in nettl.log (see attached logfile), beginning after ovstop
nvsecd and with the starting of /etc/netnmrc showing that there must be a
problem with ovwdb. One of the messages is "Cache update failure in
ovwDbSetFieldValue". We have about 8.000 objects in the db, according to
mapcount. ovwdb cache size was set to 10.000 using smit.
Any ideas bevore I delete the databases and start all over??
Thanks
