Jeff -

Haven't  you just have answered your own question?

You can dump the rule (nvUtil g), modify it , and then replace it (nvUtil r).

All the options are on the nvUtil man page (which was added by APAR in 5.1.1 I
think).   What you see there is what you get.

Subject:  nvUtil How can I add to existing collection?




Netview 5.1.2 on Solaris 2.6

I want to add a rule to existing collection (Selection Name) via command
line.
The collection rule is (('Selection Name' ~ 'node1') || ('Selection
Name' ~ 'node2'))

It must be done by command line.

Can I use...

nvUtil r 'jftest" "('Selection Name' ~ 'node3')"


The above just replaced the rule not add to it.
Is ther a way to add to the existing rule?

I have tried many combinations but none work.

Thanks for any help.
