List,
I was quite disturbed to find this posting in direct contradiction of my
post regarding the size of the location.conf file. Some of us have run into
the problem with location.conf exceeding 1000 lines. Yes, it is a documented
restriction. But, there are customers who absolutely must go beyond 1000
lines. I have been there and done that and received an ipmap fix from
support via a PMR.....
You can go beyond the 1000 line restriction as my previous post indicates,
if you call support for the fix.
The documentation is not necessarily the inspired gospel!
Things change, exceptions and errors occur!
Please do not contradict what others have posted here without being certain
of your facts!
--> END FLAME <--
Of course, the advise to upgrade to 6.0.2 was good.
The overlapping ranges is most likely the problem.
I did not experience problems until around 1700 lines in location.conf.
The actual number of lines where it stops working properly is hard to nail
down.
It depends on the complexity of what you are configuring.
This limitation does not seem to be addressed in the 6.0.2 release.
I don't see any mention of it in the release notes.
Too bad they didn't fix the "N. America" and S. America" location containers
in the 6.0.2 release.
The fix is to edit the symbol registration file and remove the space before
"America".

You should not use location.conf files greater than 1000 lines long.
This is a documented restriction. It may be causing your problem.
You should also upgrade to the Version 6.0.2 NetView which has been
available for over six months. Then you will be able to send your file
to Tivoli Service for analysis (they won't work on any system except the
current one).
Personally, I've not had any trouble with 6.0.2 and location.conf. I
suspect something you've put in the location.conf file is causing the
problem if it's not due to the size of the file. For example, the text
in the distributed location.conf file warns you that overlapping ranges
are unpredictable; 192.168.0-250, 192.168.10-20 and 192.168.21-255 is an
example of an overlap which could be accidentally created. I could see
where this might cause the effect you describe.
I'd suggest you upgrade and call Tivoli Support or find a consultant who
can work with you. This is not something easily handled through a
mailing list since it will take quite a bit of time to analyze the 1600
lines in your location.conf against your object database.
