Ahhh the workspaces can be saved from nvevents when you
create a dynamic workspace.

Sorry, I should have clarified better. The workspaces question was
unrelated to the other question. I didn't think it would effect which map
opened, just trying to hunt down where this was set.
Thanks again

Dean,
The users workspaces will not affect which map opens.
Check the message from James, what you can do is copy the
/usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw file to the users home directory and edit the
OVw*mapname variable to WANmap.
I think this should work as you want it to. There are a number of variables
that can be changed the same way with any file in app-defaults, take some
time to look around in there(and always keep a backup!) you might be
surprised by what you find.

Thanks Paul,
I renamed the map to "Default" originally and it still didn't work, so
I renamed it to "default" and it works fine. I don't understand why
we can rename it to "WANmap" and it opens fine as root, but will not open
as user.
Also, I set a variable a while back in a Netview config file allowing
each user to setup their own workspaces and it saves it within their
user NvEnvironments directories. Now I can't remember which Netview
file I made this change to... any help would be great.
Thanks

Try setting WANmap as the default for that user or have you already
done that? NetView by default wants to open the map named Default, you
have to change this behavior.
So either, someone changed the default map for root to WANmap or there
is an alias or something in roots environment that is causing this to
happen. I would be willing to be when the user is starting the map, it
is trying to open the Default map.

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.
