You can re-discover the entire database or you can delete and re-discover
the objects individually. It is your choice.
Symbols are assigned to objects only once and not updated after that. If
you have changed a common symbol, then regenerating the map is your best
choice.
If you haven't got on, you woul do well to create a seed file, and a
location.conf if required to assist.

Subject: [NV-L] Adding Capabilities to Symbols
List,
I have added a new "capability" to a symbol icon and performed the `ovw
-fields` and `ovw -config` commands to update Netview. When I create a new
symbol with that icon, is has the capabilites defined in it (with the value
set to true as I expect the default to be). I can do a nvUtil e "rule" and
get the new symbol that matches my criteria for the newly defined
capabilities.
How do I get all of my currently defined symbols for that icon with that
capability set to true? If I go into that symbol with Modify/Describe, the
option to set that boolean to True is grayed out. Also, when I do a
`nvUtil
p`, all of the other symbols do not even have that capability defined for
it.
1) How can I get all of my currently defined symbols for that icon to have
this new capability defined and set to True?
2) How can I automate the answer to question 1.
I can re-discover the entire database, but I would prefer a more dynamic
method for this.
Thanks for your time,
Jason
