Refreshing the map is a GUI operation which can only be done on the box
where the map is located. It is an internal ovw function. There is no
command line mechanism to do it. If there were, then the person using this
map would just see it suddenly go away. But suppose they were in the
middle of drilling down in it or doing some other operation, and had it
suddenly go away? Thus it is under the control of the actual operator
using the map. You can log in and kill the ovw process but you cannot
force a refresh except from the GUI. This is one of the trade-offs with
using read-only copies of the same map.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Refreshing the map ?
Hi,
Having NV 6.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3
I am maintaining only one Map, and Users get's read only map for access.
These read only maps needs to be refreshed for status update. Checked in
/usr/OV/registration/C/ovw, the option Refresh Map calls f.refresh_map
I had also checked that there is no such command which I can run from
command line. Can this command be run any other way from command line, or
can I schedule for every user so that at certain set interval the read only
map will be refreshed. Or can I add an option so that only Object can be
refreshedin place of whole Map refresh which generated additional traffic
on N/W.
Regards,
Santosh

No. But if you can see your way clear to switch them to the web client,
they can 'look at' a r/w map and will always see the updates.

Hello Everyone.
NetView 6.0.2 on AIX 4.3.3.4. NetView users access the maps with
Xwindows
thin clients (SunRays) running on a Sun server.
I recently went from a nightly backup of the NetView application to a
weekly
backup. So now the 2nd and 3rd shifts have NetView available overnight.
The problem is that many users now have to refresh their map to reflect
config changes or unmanaged changes. When they were forced to open the
map every morning - the problem was eliminated.
Is there a way to automate a refresh of all the users' ReadOnly maps?
Thanks in advance.
