If you are able to find unique attributes to these sets of objects, you could write an API routine utilizing OVwDbDeleteObject looping thourgh each map/submap/object list. Ive done this before, but it was more of a tool to clean up messes I created in the OVwDB on development benches. Best of luck,

    In most cases those "Please" objects are removed automatically by
    map synchronization. You should only have to worry about the ones
    that are still there. If you find them in the map, using Locate,
    then delete them 'from all submaps'.

    If you find the same objects the next time, then it is one of two
    cases, I think:
    1) You have more than one map. Look under File..Open. If there is
    more than just the default map, open the others and do the deletes
    there as well.
    2) The object have been rediscovered. Check the object numbers.
    Each time they are discovered, they will have different object
    numbers.

    Cordially,

        [nv-l] Problem with object



        









         Hi,

         When I clean up the databases (ovmapcount -a, ovmapcount -b,
    ovtopofix -A), I look at the output of ovtopofix and there are
    lines as:

         xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxxxxxxxx) --   Please delete object from
    all maps.

         some objects them encounter them in the map and I erase them, but
    other but other objects not  encounter them, and in the following
    clean up
    they continue appearing.

         can nvmaputil.sh  be useful to me ?

          Un saludo,
