Customizing HP SIM System Lists

Russell Osinchuk — Wed, 07 Jan 2004 10:07:14 GMT

When i first installed HP SIM, I was able to create custom lists of remote sites that contained specific servers. Now when creating lists, I select the specific server,save and then when I execute the list I get all Systems instead? Anyone see this yet? I was creating a list within systems where the system name is a specific server.

Can you explain to me how you are creating the list? What rea the steps that you are following?

In the systems lists column, i choose customize. I created a new folder to hold all my new lists then clicke on the New List... button. I then searched in systems where the system name is equal to a server name. I saved the list in the previously created public folder. The creation is completed and indicated as successful. I then click on the new list and I recieve all my servers not just the ones specified during the creation of this list.

Russell:

Can you look at a list of all servers, click the check box of one you want and 'Save as...' to get a query that works? If you edit that, does it look any different than what you were trying to do?

Same result.

Russell,

I had a similar issue. When you go back in and try to edit the list you created, what happens?

Instead of "is equal to" just choose "is". That should fix the issue.

Go back and edit the system list and change the middle column from "is equal to" to only "is" then click on save.

This list was originally setup using "is" and not "is equal to". When I go back and try and edit the list, no servers are available, essentially nothing is available to edit.

delete the list you created and create a new one with the parameters that we spoke about. If you're still not seeing the devices names, then you may have to re-run the automatic discovery again.

I have deleted all created lists and tried to create a test list. Same problem. I have also submitted an auto-discovery and had no luck.

Rusell,

It sounds much like the problem I was having. When I tried to edit the list my results appeared the same. I also received a javascript error. To see the error I had to click on the error icon (an exclamation point on a white background) in the lower left of the IE window. It pointed to a "firstchild" error.
