Thanks for the response. Tried out clearing the database as mentioned by you. Though the messages are displayed properly (i.e stopping snmp collect daemons, clearing snmp collect database) , the database does not get cleared. Can you suggest, where could be the problem / any other method to clear?
Thanks & Regards,
John F

Have you tried: nvsetup -> Databases -> Clear Databases -> Clear SNMPCollect Databases ?

Dear James,
Thanks a lot for your response. I did try out the method of clearing the snmpdatabase suggested by you and have run into a problem. The on screen message, when I click on purge the database now, from nvsetup, shows that the database is being purged and then when I click on OK, informs me that the database cannot be purged. The file size also shows no change.
I have also tried to do this from snmpodump -xn option, but have not met with success. snmpcdump shows up as an u!
nknown
command on windows.
Could I get assistance please.
Thanks,
John

Unlike UNIX, snmpcollect on Windows automatically collects MIB data from objects in your network by default. It is stored in the database you have identified -- .mdb files are MS Jet relational databases, which can be read with Microsoft Access. NetView also provides tools to manipulate the data. If you aren't interested in the MIB data then you can suspend the collection of it, using Start --> Tasks --> Collect MIB data. Then nothing new will be added the database. You can purge the database manually using the snmpodump command, "snmpodump -x keep>". You can also schedule it automatically from nvsetup -> Files and drop down the file window so that it says "Schedule SNMPCollect data to delete"
You can also display the data using the snmpodump and snmpcdump commands.Type
them from the command line with a question mark "snmpodump -?" to see summaries of the options. I recommend that you spend some time with books available under \usr\ov\books, particularly the User's Guide, to see what this facility can do for you.

Hello lists,
NV 7.1.3 under Windows 2000
The file Snmpcollect_db.mdb (under \usr\ov\databases\odbc) is growing in size. How to clear it? Also can anyone inform me which are all the files that are to be cleared periodically and the procedure to clear them ?
Thanks,
John
