Service and Node Updates
The NonStop ASAP subsystem allows you to begin monitoring new objects at any

information on them is sent to the ASAP Client, which in turn passes the data to the
ASAP OpenView Adapter. When the Adapter receives this data, it determines if new
services or nodes have been added. If they have, OpenView needs to be updated to
include these items.
However, issues can arise when simply performing these updates as they occur,
because the OpenView Console caches information from the OpenView server
database. Thus new service and node information added to OpenView by the Adapter
