You can define your smartset using nvUtil command and nvdbformat command.

nvdbformat allow you to extract any data on the ovwdb database (such as TopM
Interface List). You can look for some example in /usr/OV/conf/nvdbtools. The
files you should look at are *.format.

nvUtil allow you to create a smartset.

Good luck.

I need to define smartsets for my Cisco routers (about 600), using their
loopback ip-address as rule of filtering.
I find out that the loopback interface is in the object information as TopM
Interface List, but this field is not available in the rules of the
smartsets.
If I set the IP Address equal the loopback address, in the smartset rule, i
get
only the loopback interfaces, and is not good for me.
Now I can't use any other filtering criteria for the smartsets I need.
I work with Tivoli Netview V 6. installaed on Aix 4.3.

Anyone got any ideas ?
