Re: [NV-L] Motif Map Change

The menu selections on the Motif map are controlled by the files in /usr/OV/registration/C.

root:/home/root>cd /usr/OV/registration/C
root:/usr/OV/registration/C>grep Delete *
openmon: "Delete GTM Objects..." _T f.action 'otdelobj';
openmon: <80> "Delete GTM Objects..." _T f.action 'otdelobj';
openmon: -commandTitle \"Delete GTM Objects\" \
ovw: <100> "Delete Map..." _D f.avail_maps;
ovw: <100> "Delete..." _D f.avail_snaps;
ovw: <100> "Delete Object" _D f.menu 'Delete';
ovw: <100> "Delete Submap" _e f.menu 'Delete Submap';
ovw: Menu 'Delete Submap'
ovw: Menu Delete
ovw: <100> "Delete" _D f.menu 'P_Menu_Delete';
ovw: Menu P_Menu_Delete
ovw: <100> "Object..." _O Ctrl<Key>O f.menu 'P_Delete';
ovw: Menu P_Delete
root:/usr/OV/registration/C>

Inside the ovw file, you see:

/*
** Edit
*/

MenuBar <100> "Edit" _E
{
<100> "Add" _A f.menu 'Add';
<100> "Create Submap..." _r f.new_submap;
<100> "Cut" _t f.menu 'Cut';
<100> "Copy" _C f.menu 'Copy';
<100> "Paste" _P Ctrl<Key>P f.paste;
<100> "Modify/Describe" _M f.menu 'Modify Description';
<100> "Hide Objects" _H f.menu 'Hide';
<100> "Hidden Objects List..." _L f.list_hidden;
<100> "Show Hidden Objects" _S f.menu 'Show Hidden';
<100> "Delete Object" _D f.menu 'Delete';
<100> "Delete Submap" _e f.menu 'Delete Submap';
<100> "Select Background Picture..." _B f.submap_desc;
<100> "Show/Hide Labels" _o f.menu 'Label Menu';
}

You can reorder these here. Then do 'ovw -verify' to check your syntax. Don't leave old copies of files in this directory, since all files under this structure are treated as registration files regardless of name. The changes will take effect the next time the map is opened.

Another suggestion, to avoid a favorite pitfall of mine:
Remove the picks that try to bring up a complete list of all submaps in the map. They freeze you up for ages. Those picks are the ones that invoke the action ' f.list_submaps'. You will see one under

Menu 'Delete Submap'
{
<100> "This Submap" _T f.delete_smap;
<100> "Any Submap..." _A f.list_submaps;
}

and one under

MenuBar <100> "View" _V
{
<100> "Highlights" _H f.menu 'Highlights';
<100> "User Plane" _U f.menu 'User Plane';
<100> "Automatic Layout" _A f.menu 'Automatic Layout';
<100> "Redo Layout" _R f.redolayout;
<100> "Open Submap..." _O f.list_submaps;
<100> "Filter By Status" _F f.filter_submap;
<100> "Sort Submap By" _B f.sort_submap;
}

No one needs to use those functions, but they are close to things you do use, and when hit accidentally, will make you think the system has hung.
I would just delete those lines, or comment them out with /* .... */

Subject	[NV-L] Motif Map Change

I am resending for someone that cannot send! Thx! Hi: This is for netview 7.1.4 on linux. I need to move, for the motif menu, where the menu pick "edit->delete from all maps" is located. I thought it was in ovw but there is no man page and page 98 of the Admin guide doesn't help either. I have already changed this on the java web console. _______________________________________________ NV-L mailing list NV-L AT lists.ca.ibm DOT com Unsubscribe:NV-L-leave AT lists.ca.ibm DOT com http://lists.ca.ibm.com/mailman/listinfo/nv-l (Browser access limited to internal IBM'ers only)
