Re: [NV-L] Synchronization process

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

No.  The synchronizing is between the GUI, specifically ipmap, and the
underlying NetView databases. It usually happens at start-up when ipmap
asks ovtopmd for all the status changes that have occurred since he was
last shut down.   When ipmap closes normally it he sets a field in the map
db with the close time.    When you manipulate the map in other ways,
especially by edit, the synchronizing occurs because ipmap thinks that he
has to verify the status of the remaining and underlying objects displayed.

Ofhand I don't know why your synch time is so slow.  You might want to
close the GUI and run ovtopofix

Can anyone shed light on the parameters of the "synchronizing" process that
takes place periodically as maps are manipulated.  I don't see much
processor time being used (using the TOP command) but it is taking a long
time to complete whenever it runs. By a long time I mean over an hour on a
network with about 40K elements.

Specifically I would like to know if it involves actual communications with
the devices on the network.
