RE: Missing object

["Barr, Scott" <Scott_Barr@csgsystems.com>]

this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.

This is a very very very common issue. If you use the locate object feature
and it cannot be found in the map database, then use ovobjprint -s
<devicename> and you will probably find a phantom object for one of the
interfaces in the database. Deleting this object using the UNSUPPORTED
command ovwdbdmap -d <objectid> Once that is done, netmon -y or stop/start
netmon should cause discovery to pick it up. By the way, v7.1 still does
this.
 
If you can convince support this is a bug more power to you.

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!
