James,
            You are correct. I am looking at the hints for what I am
omitting in the seedfile. I just didn't put them together. My objective was
to make sure I did not have any incomplete objects. I was not familiar with
the omitted objects in the seedfile generate the hints. Thanks for your
help..

Dave -

Your question indicates a condition you should not be worried about, so
give us a little elaboration and history please.

 What's an incomplete object in your estimation?  How do you know it is
incomplete?

 If you are talking about database hints, it is entirely possible that if
you exclude discovery for something using the seed file, and netmon adds it
to the db as a hint, and you run ovtopofix to remove the hint, then as soon
as netmon is restarted, he will add it again.  So let's be clear about
exactly what you see, why it concerns you, and what you are ultimately
trying to accomplish.

Hi All,
        Can someone tell me how to correct incomplete objects if ovtopofix
-A does not do the job? Can it be done without wipping the database and
rediscoverying?

Thanks, Dave
