Well,
I think you have a number of options. Lets take a step back and make sure
I have an understanding of what the problem statement is:
You
are using Node Up/Down events to gather SLA stats (stored in an Oracle
DB). You have found that Netview is not issueing the Node Up/Down in
"real-time", i.e some time after the device actually changed state. You
are looking for means proactively change a state of an object w/in Netview
to facilitate closer "real-time" gathering of SLA stats.
Does
that sound about right?

about modifying objects in netview 7.1.3
Well we have netmon
polling it, but we are relying on information from the trapd.log to use for
SLA data. Like if we get a Node Down event or Node Up
event, we put that into an Oracle database. We are trying to verify that the
Node is really down, in a lot of cases in our network a Node will go down, and
then an operator will do a demand poll or ping it, and then it will start
responding again. So we have a script that tails the trapd.log file looking
for Node Downs and if it receives one, it does a test trying to open a tcp
connection a few times to verify that its really down, if it is, it gets
inserted into the database. We also want to change the status of that object
back to Node Up before netmon gets a chance to do it. Now of course there are
other ways to do this verification by having a ruleset that has an inline
function that does this but we had some problems with
that..
So what do you think
I should do? Use the API and OVwSetStatusOnObject
to change the status, or is there an easier way?
Thanks in
advance!

You can use the API,
but if you have netmon polling that IP device on interval, it will notice the
incorrect status and change it back. Start at "man
OVwSetStatusOnObject", this will give you a start. If you have any
specific questions, feel free to ask. Some statuses are "Reserved" and
it wont allow you to change it via the API (eg Acknowledged), but there are
programmatic ways around that.

Subject: [nv-l] question about modifying

We are trying to find a way to
modify an object in NetView. If we know the node name, and want to change
its status from say down, to up, because of an additional verification that
proved it was up, how would we go about doing it? Are there any utilities or
where should I look in the API?
Thanks,
Mike
