NetView treats everything in /usr/OV/registration/C as a registration file.  And
that is the only place he looks. Of course, if you have one of the older NLS
versions, then for Ja_JP, your registration files would be in
/usr/OV/registration/Ja_JP.

The file names in this directory are not important, because NetView processes
them all, so one thing to watch out for is that you cannot make a copy of an
existing registration file, re-name it, and keep it as a backup in this same
directory structure.  NetView will still process it, and the results are
unpredictable if you have two nearly identical files defining the same
structure.  What happens depends upon which one he reads last (I think).  That
is why there is a backup registration directory which mirrors
/usr/OV/registration.   Registration files are discussed in the Programmer's
Guide.

Hello to All,

  I  am trying to find out where are all the "action" or "f.action" of the
Netview application registration files for the Netview's menu bar.  e.g
Locate >> Objects >> By Symbol Type  can be an action item in the
application registration file.


 Are they all organized under /Usr/OV/registration/C/<***> ? or they are
organized at other directories ?

   I think I have figured out a way to  log all the operator menu
selections
or events to a file.(  I have not coded it yet). My idea is to write a
Netview application program to use the OwAddActionCallback() API call to
follow the example under  /usrs/OV/prg_samples/ovw_examples/<**>.

Thanks for all the info help from the Netview community.
