Scott,

check if in the input file the value TRUE of the failing object is followed
by a blank.
I think, that a trailing blank will result in such a failure, because the
value of a boolean field can't be "TRUE  ".
Hope this helps

Sylvia

AIX 4.3 NetView 6.0.2

I am using the nvdbimport command to apply TRUE to a list of nodes for
several different groups using different .import files. I receive Invalid
OVwBoolean Failure on some of the nodes when I run the command. Here are
examples:

Invalid OVwBoolean Failure:
FieldID  5557937 (isTivoli-Test) for Object 3115648 (US504D06.fritolay.pvt)
when given TRUE

Object 847779 (pbsxst00001.fritolay.pvt) - SET FieldID 5557937
(isTivoli-Test) to TRUE

These are from the same .import file. I don't see any difference between
the
2 nodes.
