Hello again,

The Windows version of NetView uses the smartsetutil.exe command instead of
the Unix nvUtil command. The parameters passed to the smartsetutil are the
same, but the output will be slightly different [object ID (Selection
Name)]. So running this command should give you a list of the objects with
the EServer_sysName field set:
      \usr\ov\bin\smartsetutil e "('EServer_sysName' ~ '.')"

The ovobjprint command works the same (at least for this) in Windows and
Unix, so:
      \usr\ov\bin\ovobjprint -s SelectionName
or:
      \usr\ov\bin\ovobjprint -o ObjectID
using the SelectionNames or the ObjectIDs returned from the smartsetutil
command. You will just need to look for the output line with the
EServer_sysName field.

I guess I should also mention that the nvdbformat.exe command with a format
file should also be able to provide you with this information. If it works
the same on Windows as Unix, a format file like this could be used:

# NVDBFormat input file for reporting EServer_sysName settings.
# Filename: eserver_sysname.format
# Usage:    nvdbformat -f eserver_sysname.format
SELECTRULE:isNode=TRUE
SELECTRULE:EServer_sysName^Null
SELECTFIELD:1:Selection Name
SELECTFIELD:2:EServer_sysName
HEADER:Selection Name, EServer_sysName
HEADER:===============================
OUTPUT:${1}, ${2}
FOOTER:=== COMPLETED ===

If the format file is named "eserver_sysname.format" the indicated usage
should work.

Hi Rajesh,

Sorry, meant to get back to you on this sooner but things have been
pretty
busy for me.

I can't say for sure, but maybe this is a problem with character case.
You
don't say if you're using NetView for Windows or Unix, so for your
reference any command I give are for Unix.

I would check the data in the DB using a couple of netview commands or a
shell script:

#!/bin/ksh
for selname in `/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e "('EServer_sysName' ~ '.')"`; do
      echo "$selname ::" `/usr/OV/bin/ovobjprint -s $selname | grep
EServer_sysName`
done

This should give you a list of the object selection names and the
related
setting for the EServer_sysName field. If the EServer_sysName field
shows
data that is not all UPPERCASE for the three problem workstations (1, 3,
and 4) no object will be returned in your query.

If this is the case, you could update the field data in the DB to all
uppercase using the nvdbimport command, or remove the "
ComponentName.MakeUpper ();" line from the "AddComponentToSubmap()"
function and make sure the ComponentName is passed in the same character
case as it is stored in the DB. These are just a couple of starting
point
ideas since, as in perl, timtowtdi (there is more than one way to do
it).

I hope this helps.

Dear NetView experts and group members,

My name is Rajesh. I am facing a peculiar problem here. I am developing
a
connector program for the Tivoli NetView 7.1.4

I am having 5 systems (computers) in the same network segment or
different.

(192.168.ABC.).
 Let us say the hostnames of the 5 systems are as follows:
Work Station 1
Work Station 2
Work Station 3
Work Station 4
Work Station 5

All these 5 systems are discovered by netview and their nodes are
displayed
on the console.
I create a submap in my  own function :

CreateESubmap (){
int nnodes;
??..
??..
symbolId = OVwCreateSymbolBySelectionName
(OVwGetMapInfo(),pSymbolList->symbols[i].submap_id,SubmapName,"Network:c
pEServer",submapName,ovwNormalStatus,ovwCompoundStatusSource,

NULL, ovwMergeDefaultCapabilities);

objectId = OVwDbSelectionNameToObjectId (submapName);
submapId = OVwCreateSubmap
(OVwGetMapInfo(),objectId,ovwSharedSubmap,ovwNoSubmapType,submapName,ovw
BusLayout,ovwNoSubmapFlags);

//WHEN THE CODE REACHES HERE I CAN SEE THE SUBMAP IMAGE WITH THE NAME
submapName IS SHOWN IN THE CONSOLE.

//Now I want to add symbols to the submap which is already created.
//I try to add these work stations to the submapName.Now I try
//to add all these 5 Work Stations to the submap.
//One Workstation at a time in this for loop

for(int i=0;i<4;i++){
            If(addcomponenttosubmap(submapid,objectId,workstation))
            {
            nnodes=nnodes+1
            }



}




The implementation of addcomponenttosubmap is illustrated below.


bool CNV_ESDiscoveryDlg::AddComponentToSubmap(OVwSubmapId  submapId,
CString Component)
{
            bool     bComponentAdded       = false;
            int                     i;

            LogMessage ("\nAddComponentToSubmap : Entrance");


            OVwObjectId                             objectId;
            OVwObjectIdList                       * pObjectIdList;
            OVwObjectInfo              * pObjectInfo;

            OVwSymbolId                           symbolId;


            OVwFieldBinding                       * pFieldValue;

            char                                          * pchHostname;
            char                                          nodeName[256];

            CString                                     ComponentName;





            ComponentName = Component;

            ComponentName.MakeUpper ();

            LogValue ("Component", ComponentName.GetBuffer(1));

            for (i = 0; i < MAX_OBJECTS; i++) {
                        m_objectList[i] = ovwNullObjectId;
            }

            pFieldValue = new OVwFieldBinding;
            pFieldValue->field_val = new OVwFieldValue;
            pFieldValue->field_id =
OVwDbFieldNameToFieldId("EServer_sysName");
            pFieldValue->field_val->is_list = FALSE;
            pFieldValue->field_val->field_type = ovwStringField;
            pFieldValue->field_val->un.string_val =
ComponentName.GetBuffer(1);


            pObjectIdList = OVwDbListObjectsByFieldValue(pFieldValue);
            LogError("AddComponentTosubmap :
OvwDbListObjectsByFieldValue");


            if (pObjectIdList != NULL) {

                        LogMessage ("Object list != NULL");
                        LogValue ("Object count", pObjectIdList->count);

                        if (pObjectIdList->count > 0) {
                                    objectId =
pObjectIdList->object_ids[0];

                                    pObjectInfo = OVwGetObjectInfo
(OVwGetMapInfo(), objectId);




symbolId =  OVwCreateSymbol (OVwGetMapInfo(),
submapId,
objectId,
"Computer:WinNT",
nodeName,
ovwNormalStatus,
ovwCompoundStatusSource,
NULL,
ovwMergeDefaultCapabilities);

if
(symbolId != ovwNullSymbolId) {
bComponentAdded = true;
//MessageBox(" MCP Componment Added ");
//MessageBox(nodeName);

}

else {
LogError ("AddComponentToSubmap OVwCreate Symbol");

}






                                    }




            }

            delete pFieldValue->field_val;
            delete pFieldValue;



            return bComponentAdded;

}   // AddComponentToSubmap



The problem I face is that a symbol gets added to the submap only when
pObjectIdList->count > 0 is true only for WorkStation 2 and WorkStation
5.
I can see these symbols under the submapName.
But for WorkStation 1 WorkStation 3 and WorkStation 4 the
pObjectIdList->count > 0 is false so nothing gets added to the
submapName.

Even though all the workstations are in the same network segment I am
getting this problem.

If I put a OVwErrorMsg(OVwError()) after pObjectIdList =
OVwDbListObjectsByFieldValue(pFieldValue) always I get the message
?success
?for all the 5 workstations. But after this pObjectIdList->count > 0 is
false for WorkStation 1 WorkStation 3 and WorkStation 4.


Why pObjectIdList->count > 0 is false for WorkStation 1 WorkStation 3
and
WorkStation 4?

Waiting for your response,

Thanking you,
Rajesh_______________________________________________
