Re: Collections within a read-only map not being updated.

To all,
  Thanks to everyone for your timely replies to this message. The synopsis
is below.....

[ Original question ]:
I created a quick collection to display a subset of the "Critical" test
nodes in a client's network. We have a read-write session up and are able to
see the test collection nodes "enter" and "exit" the collection. However, if
I open up a read-only session, the collections are not updated........."at
all".

  Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions would be welcomed.......


[ Resolution ]:
I've created a static collection of nodes whose defining parameter is the
router type ( Cisco 8540s ). As their status changes, so do their icons on
the map ( as is normal ). ....

...and I've quit trying to teach pigs to sing............


Thanks all,
R.E.( Rick ) DeYoung

Yes Rich, we have.  Unfortunately it is designed this way.  The only map
that
gets automatically updated is the read/write map.  In order to update the
read
only maps you have to refresh the map.  Which means the gui shuts down and
restarts.  The reason for this is that objects being added and deleted from
the
collections basically works the same as when new objects are discovered and
added to the map.  It automatically gets added to the read/write map, but
you
have to refresh any read only maps in order to see them there.

To all,
[ Descr ]:
  Out of the box NetView v5.1 configuration, running on AIX v4.2.1., with
1Gb of Ram, and roughly 500 objects in the NV database. User security is not
turned on, and the method of access to the GUI is by NT workstations running
'exceed', and receiving their IP Addresses via DHCP.

[ Challenge ]:
  I created a quick collection to display a subset of the "Critical" test
nodes in a client's network. We have a read-write session up and are able to
see the test collection nodes "enter" and "exit" the collection. However, if
I open up a read-only session, the collections are not updated........."at
all".

  Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions would be welcomed.......
