Ahhh the workspaces can be saved from nvevents when you
create a dynamic workspace.

Sorry, I should have clarified better.  The workspaces question was
unrelated to the other question.  I didn't think it would effect which map
opened, just trying to hunt down where this was set.

Thanks again

Dean,
The users workspaces will not affect which map opens.
Check the message from James, what you can do is copy the
/usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw file to the users home directory and edit the
OVw*mapname variable to WANmap.
I think this should work as you want it to. There are a number of variables
that can be changed the same way with any file in app-defaults, take some
time to look around in there(and always keep a backup!) you might be
surprised by what you find.

Thanks Paul,

I renamed the map to "Default" originally and it still didn't work, so I renamed it to "default" and it works fine. I don't understand why we can rename it to "WANmap" and it opens fine as root, but will not open

as user.

Also, I set a variable a while back in a Netview config file allowing each user to setup their own workspaces and it saves it within their user NvEnvironments directories. Now I can't remember which Netview file I made this change to... any help would be great.

Thanks

Try setting WANmap as the default for that user or have you already done that? NetView by default wants to open the map named Default, you have to change this behavior. So either, someone changed the default map for root to WANmap or there is an alias or something in roots environment that is causing this to happen. I would be willing to be when the user is starting the map, it is trying to open the Default map.

When we log on as root and start "netview", it opens our Default map named "WANmap" just fine, yet when we use a standard user account and try and execute "netview", it begins loading Netview and when it needs to open the map, it crashes out and we get an error in the nv6000.log file

that says:

ovw:Cannot open map

We found that if the user executes "netview -map WANmap" it opens fine. Why doesn't it open the map when executing "netview"? Is there a file that requires the map to be named "default"? Where is this file? We have had a ticket open with IBM now for over 2 weeks and they haven't been able to help us find the problem here, any help would be

great.
