Re: [nv-l] nvdbformat problem

["Leslie Clark" <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

The TopM Interface field is a wierd one, and I would not
expect it to behave the way you want it to. Whenever I
want to do anything fancy with it I go outside of nvdbformat.
The field predates the function and does not seem obligated
to play along.

Ray, when you say "I found a problem.."  did you mean that
in the sense of "I'm having a problem..", or in the sense of
"I want to report a problem"? Just a reminder to all that this
is still the kind of forum it was before, where product users talk
amongst themselves and a few IBM/Tivoli people but in
a little (well, a lot).  Do call Support to report defects or to
get direct assistance.

Cordially,

Hello Everyone.

NV 6.0.3 on AIX 4.3.3.9

I found a problem with a nvdbformat input file. The purpose of the file is
to list all routers with TopM Interface List contains "Frame Relay". Here
is
the input file:

SELECTRULE:TopM Interface List~Frame Relay
SELECTFIELD:1:Selection Name
OUPUT:${1}

nvdbformat only returns the devices with "Frame Relay" in the 1st line of
the TopM Interface List. For example, this ovobjprint shows a device that
would NOT be
found by the nvdbformat command and input file above. (I removed most of
the
output.)

"Serial0/0.20 Up
10.220.4.146    255.255.255.252 <None>          Frame

Any suggestions on now to create the correct input file?

Thanks in advance.
