Hello Gerd,

yes, there is a bug in object collections. Sometimes, symbols in
collections get the wrong symbol status source when they are included in
the collection.
Check and correct it by doing the following:
Put the mouse pointer on the symbol and right-click to get the context
menu.
Select     Edit --> Modify/Describe --> Symbol  and take a look at the
symbol status source.
If you do this in the first submap you will get "Object" as symbol status
source.
If you do it in the collection submap you will get a different value as
symbol status source. Right?
So change the symbol status source in the collection submap to the same
value as in the first submap and the status of your symbol will no longer
be unknown.

Hope this helps.

Sylvia Koch

Betreff: Blue status

This is something that's been bugging me for a while. I have a node on my
NetView map that shows up blue. Sometimes it is green (but very rarely),
it is blue 90 % of the time. But even if it's blue, I can ping or Telnet to
it with no problem. I know that blue means "UNKNOWN". But I don't
understand why, or what is causing this interface to be blue. Is there
anyone that seen this problem before, and is there any solutions to get it
green again ?

Thank You
Moe

I have a similiar problem with one node on two diffeent submaps. On the
first submap
the node appears in green colour and on the second submap (this is a
collection-map)
the same node appears in blue colour. Until now nothing helped:
unmanage/manage or
unacknowlage/acknowlage or ping demand poll. The object-Information is for
both submaps
exactly the same.

Could it be, that there is a bug. We run Netview V5.0 on RS6K with AIX
4.2.1.
