A map named "default" is, and has always been, required. NetView will
always start the map named "default" unless the user has specified a
different one himself personally. Somebody did that for root. Now you
have to do it for the others. Or you have to alter the OVw configuration
so that there is a new default map.
Have your user bring up WANmap with the -map syntax, and then pull down
File --> Open and set that map as his personal default map.
Alternatively, you can edit /usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw and uncomment
OVw*mapName and change it from default to WANmap.
I cannot answer for why the folks you are talking to don't seem to know
this. I don't have time to look at the moment but I am certain that
there is a discussion in the Admin Guide about setting a default map when
you have more than one.

Subject: RE: [nv-l] maps + solaris accounts problem
When we log on as root and start "netview", it opens our Default map named
"WANmap" just fine, yet when we use a standard user account and try and
execute "netview", it begins loading Netview and when it needs to open the
map, it crashes out and we get an error in the nv6000.log file that says:
ovw:Cannot open map
We found that if the user executes "netview -map WANmap" it opens fine.
Why
doesn't it open the map when executing "netview"? Is there a file that
requires the map to be named "default"? Where is this file? We have had
a
ticket open with IBM now for over 2 weeks and they haven't been able to
help
us find the problem here, any help would be great.
