Chris -
You still haven't told us what platform you have , and since the UNIX and
NT versions have differences, it is difficult to speak to both in detail.
But in either case, you cannot force a new object to be part of smartset,
unless that particular one is just a collection of names to begin with. A
smartset is collection of objects already in your database, grouped by
attributes or properties. So you can create one based on vendor, for
example, or some other database field. If the object you want to add does
not have this field set, then it won't be part of the smartset. So to
"force" an object into an smartset you would have to alter the properties
of that object. You might be able to do that with nvdbimport, depending
on what type of field you are setting. Basically you can see the object
properties for an object by right clicking and selecting object properties
or by using "ovobjprint -s <selection_name>" from the command line.
You can edit a smartset and change the rule, or collection criteria, for
that smartset. That is also a way to add something to a smartset. The
collection criteria, as they are called, can be varied and compound. Try
"collected" from the command line in UNIX or pull down the Submap GUI in
NT and click New Smartset. On UNIX also check out the nvUtil command.
Just type in "nvUtil -?" .
I am not certain what to say about your other questions. A smartset is a
collection of existing objects, so it's submap is a list of those objects,
and their submaps will be whatever ones they already have. I don't see
why you would want to add something, and I am not certain how you would go
about that.
As for object names, the objects should have the same names they have on
the regular IP Internet map. For most objects, NetView only displays up
to the first dot in the fully qualified name.
More questions? Just post to the list but you should not direct them to
me. There are lots of people out here with as much or more experience
customizing NetView to show what they want than I have.

James, thanks for the reply.
We have version 6.0.2. I have checked the documentation, but cannot find
the
answers that I'm looking for.
I'd like to know if you can manually add devices into a smartset?
Why when creating smartsets that if filtering by "Selection Name" the
whole name
of the device doesn't show up on the map? They all have the same
shortened
name. Is there a file that that info is stored in?
How do I add a child submap to a smartset?
These probably seem a little elementary, but I'm new.
Thanks for all the help,
Chris

What version of NetView do you have?
The documentation ships with the product, in both html and pdf format. On
UNIX see /usr/OV/books/C and pick tml or pdf. Ditto on NT,
\usr\ov\books\c

Subject: [nv-l] Netview documentation
Hello,
I'm looking for some help with Netview. I've just been handed the
application and have an admin guide and that's about it. Does anyone know
where
I can get more electronic documentation? Specifically, I'm looking for
more info
on smartsets. I've tried the Tivoli website but find it very difficult to
maneuver . Unfortunately, we also have no Tivoli support. Any and all help
is
appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris Klunder
