You need to re-start actionsvr.  He is the one who loads and runs those 
rulesets in the background.  After he is restarted you should be able to 
see the successful loads in /usr/OV/log/nvaction.alog as well as any 
results written to stdout or stderr.

Just as side note I always add when someone indicates that they have just 
started using background rulesets.  If you already know, then great, but 
others may not.  Remember that  your background rulesets should not have a 
Forward or a  Resolve in them, because actionsvr does not have a display, 
and all of them should have the initial event stream node (the "purple 
pizza") set to "Block".  Otherwise, actionsvr will get a ton of events he 
doesn't know what to do with (he has no way to dequeue those which do not 
have an associated action) and they will eventually fill up his sockets 
and cause the entire event process to start backing up -- first actionsvr, 
then nvcorrd, then trapd.  One by one they will slow and stop.

Hi people. A quick question about ruleset and ESE.automation for NetView 
7.1
on Solaris 7.

What is the next step after configuring and adding the ruleset inside
ESE.automation file.
Do I need to restart some ov processes and agents or do nothing?

Thanks
