David,
It should not affect the existing database. If the objects exist
already, reloading the seed file should have no ill effect, it will only
add any objects listed which are not already defined in the DB. You can
also load the objects manually using the loadhosts command (man
loadhosts gives a good description)
This is the case in my environment anyway - I would suggest that you try
any changes in your test environment first. (I know I keep saying it
but if you have a highly customised NetView environment it can be a real
pain to have to start from scratch... (Been there, done that, now keep
it as simple as possible :-))

Thanks Colin,
I have only one map (default). I just want to list only objects related
to the missing connections in the seedfile. Will that affect my existing
map/databases?
Rgds,
David

David,
When discover new nodes is off you can run a netmon -y to reload the
seed file this may put the connection back, but if not here are a couple
of other suggestions
Do you have multiple maps? The connection may exist in another map so
it will not rediscover as it is still in the database... Try deleting
from all maps and then rediscover it (netmon -y)
If there is only one map try deleting and rediscovering the object it
connects and see does the connection return (again netmon -y if the
object does not return try putting the object into the seed file and run
netmon -y)
Of course you should try these tasks in test first to ensure you do not
get undesired results :-)

Hi list,
By mistake I cut a connection instead of a object, but I cannot past it
back. And NV is not discover it itself (I turned discovery new nodes
off). Did anyone give a clue?
Rgds,
David
