No. Smartsets are a unique feature of NetView, as is nvdbformat. Smartsets were added in NetView Version 5, nvdbformat in Version 6.
This was very useful information. Can this also be used for HP OpenView because both use almost the same libraries? Thanking you.

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.

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.

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?
