Re: [nv-l] Location.conf

["Christopher J Petrina" <cjp8@meadwestvaco.com>]

Would this "issue" also prevent new additions into the location.conf file from being seen on the Map.
Meaning:  I have a functioning Location.conf been running a while.  We just added another site (EUROPE_EVPN) I stopped netview (ovstop)
vi'd the location.conf to add the EUROPE_EVPN as a site and then listed all the citys and devices under it so it looks something like this.

International 255 Site
  EUROPE_EVPN 255 Site International
    Mauepas 1.1.1.1 Site EUROPE_EVPN
    Chatearoux 2.2.2.2 Site EUROPE_EVPN

when I start netview again (/etc/netnmrc) the GUI, the site EUROPE_EVPN does not get created, nor any of the others mentioned.
Is this a result of the "issue" above or is this just the fact that location.conf only works "once" on initial discovery?

Thanks

I would call Support. I have seen this at 7.1.4, although it worked fine at 7.1.3. To work around it, I have rediscovered completely. That does work. The problem occurred when I did 'File..New Map'.

greetings, 

location.conf -> if I modify location.conf then create a new map it should use the modified version of location.conf in the new map correct? 

I do this and I get errors here is aportion of the location.conf and the erros I get 

createLocations: Unable to create location Ajax. A non-location object with that selection name already exists in the object database. 


OBJECT: 4741 

       FIELD ID        FIELD NAME                      FIELD VALUE 
       10              Selection Name                  "Ajax" 
       14              OVW Maps Exists                 1 
       15              OVW Maps Managed                1 
       107             isLocation                      TRUE 

it calls it a non location object yet you cans ee from above that it is a location object.  Any Help? 

Thanks
