Hey, how about nvdbimport? It is cheating, I know, but if you are
careful, it should work. See the man page. And tell us about the
capabilities you are adding. Anything interesting? Always looking
for new ideas...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I am going to have to schedule some time for
this in the NOC.
Thanks again,

You can re-discover the entire database or you can delete and re-discover
the objects individually. It is your choice.
Symbols are assigned to objects only once and not updated after that. If
you have changed a common symbol, then regenerating the map is your best
choice.
If you haven't got on, you woul do well to create a seed file, and a
location.conf if required to assist.

Subject: [NV-L] Adding Capabilities to Symbols
List,
I have added a new "capability" to a symbol icon and performed the `ovw
-fields` and `ovw -config` commands to update Netview. When I create a new
symbol with that icon, is has the capabilites defined in it (with the value
set to true as I expect the default to be). I can do a nvUtil e "rule" and
get the new symbol that matches my criteria for the newly defined
capabilities.
How do I get all of my currently defined symbols for that icon with that
capability set to true? If I go into that symbol with Modify/Describe, the
option to set that boolean to True is grayed out. Also, when I do a
`nvUtil
p`, all of the other symbols do not even have that capability defined for
it.
1) How can I get all of my currently defined symbols for that icon to have
this new capability defined and set to True?
2) How can I automate the answer to question 1.
I can re-discover the entire database, but I would prefer a more dynamic
method for this.
Thanks for your time,
Jason
