Have you ever gotten this to work?  How about before you created your
customized map?
All I can give you is a guess.  I don't work in this area of the code.  If
you can't get anywhere then you should call Support.

A snap shot is a copy of your current map so it takes up the same size.
cd to /usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/ODS_Customised_Display and do "du
-k"
That gives you the size of each subdirectory in 1024-byte (KB) units.

Subject:  [NV-L] Create Map Snapshot



Still can't work out why creating a map snapshot fails.

I took a look at the directories, permissions and file space. The
directory permissions look fine to me.

We are using Netview 5.1.

Here are the directories and permissions:


wo01u# ls -R -al /usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/

The file space looks OK but how much disk space does a snapshot require?
