Deleting from the map is a map function. No commandline
utility is provided to do that. You are supposed to open the map,
delete the thing (from all submaps), and then open any other maps
you have and do the same thing. Once it is gone from all maps, it
will be deleted from the topology database. What you are doing
with that ovtopofix -r command is yanking it from the topology
database first. The maps will supposedly figure that out and
clean themselves up. But the reason that command exists is
for fixing problems which left things in the topology database
that are not in the map. Use it at your own risk. Better to
just delete it from the map manually. If there are a bunch of them,
make a Smartset that groups them all in one place, adjust the
seedfile to prevent their rediscovery (if that is your intent),
and then select them in the Smartset and delete.

Brian, I feel compelled to warn you that the 'ovtopofix -r' is undocumented
for a reason. It is intended as an emergency utility only, and very bad
things can happen if you use it without knowing exactly what you are
doing. Support will not be happy if you call them about corruption in
the database after using it. What is it that you are trying to accomplish?
Maybe there is a better way to go about it.

..and be careful while importing with xnmsnmpconf. If you have nodenames in
the config file where nameresolution fails import will stop at that line.
If you don't catch and correct this your configuration may look quite
different afterwards from what you expect it to be.

Brian,
Neither of the tasks that you want to perform are simple...
>>a) set SNMP Configuration for a node (as one would do in the GUI by going
to Options->SNMP Configuration)
xnmsnmpconf -export <filename>
Edit this file (ignore the comments at the top)
1. Add, modify or delete as you desire. Be careful to keep the file in
the same order as you found it.
Specific nodes first, then IP Network wildcards followed by *.*.*.*
last.
2. Import the file back in with xnmsnmpconf -import <filename>
3. xnmsnmpconf -event (notifies applications that the database has
changed)
Word of Caution: All SNMP configuration for SmartSets will be lost
You will have to re-enter any SmartSet SNMP customization from the GUI
>>b) delete an object (as would be done in the GUI by right-clicking on the
object and choosing Edit->Delete->Object->From All Submaps
This is not documented:
1. ovstop netmon
2. ovtopofix -r <Selection Name | Object Number> [Object Number][Object
Number]....
3. ovstart netmon
Word of Caution: It is not documented because you could easily corrupt your
database with a single typo.

Note: ovtopofix -r takes the Selection Name or the Object Number from the
Object database, Multiple object numbers may be deleted at once.

What are the commands (if they exist) to issue at the command line to
accomplish the following:
a) set SNMP Configuration for a node (as one would do in the GUI by going
to
Options->SNMP Configuration)
b) delete an object (as would be done in the GUI by right-clicking on the
object and choosing Edit->Delete->Object->From All Submaps
Thanks in advance for your help.
