RE: Missing object

That did the trick!

I am still somewhat confused as to why that worked.  I created a smartset 
for that IP address.  When I clicked "OK" Netview returned that there 
were no objects with that IP address would I like to create the smartset 
anyway.  I answered yes, went into that smartset and there was the server 
I 
was looking for.  I deleted it and Netview rediscovered it. 

I guess my question is, how did the Smartset find it?

Here's  a trick that I use.
Create  a SmartSet specifically for that object.
Then  open the SmartSet and delete it.
 
I have  used this at sites where stopping netmon and running ovtopofix was 
not an option  without a maintenance window.

Netview 7.1 for  NT 

I have an object that I can not  find on my map and I can not force 
Netview to discover it ( I put it in the  seedfile ). 
If I run "ovtopodump  hostname" I see an entry for that object.  How do I 
remove this object  from the 
database so Netview can  rediscover it or how do I force it to show up on 
the map? 

Thanks in advance for your help!
