Re: Fwd: Re: [nv-l] Clearing Snmpcollect_db.mdb

["Oliver Bruchhaeuser" <oliver.bruchhaeuser@de.ibm.com>]

this is strange but what's about this workaround:
ovstop snmpCollect
cp \usr\ov\databases\odbc\snmpcollect_db.mdb_empty
\usr\ov\databases\odbc\snmpcollect_db.mdb
ovstart SnmpCollect

Kind regards

Oliver

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
