Thank you Bdabel,
you currently have a version that is a current version for the 5.2 application tree. While we have altered calculations for license (by TB) there is not a GUI view for merging the same share accessed by multiple methods. The procedure for consideration for possible inclusion in a future version would be to reach out to your Veritas account team representative for addition of an enhancement request.
As a potential workaround in the meantime consider that you suggested a share or nested share could be accessed by different path locations or even shared out via different systems in some cases. We do have reporting that could produce for you a detailed access (auditing ) report. We do not display this in the console's workspace view as the drilldowns are based on the access path due to the display being a particular path.
Consider how the data is gathered when understanding why this is so.
The actual device would provide data in the form of:
device_id|opcode|username|domainname|sid|pathname|renamepath|type|imagename|ipaddr|timestamp|gennumber
We would then have to parse the data for transfer to the Data Insight indexer in the form:
id|opcode|username|domainname|sid|pathname|renamepath|type|imagename|ipaddr|timestamp
We would expect the pathname to match an existing record in the index for the particular Share ID or we would create a new record for that instance. If I wanted to view that event in the workspace I would navigate to the share and drill down to the object to see the registered accesses or I could could create a report to capture the same thing.
In a report I would be able to specify multiple access points and view similar objects (or even create a report on one object from multiple shares).
Something like:
| HeaderTable | | |
| Created By | Report Type | Report Name |
| Veritas Data Insight 5.2.0.8800 | Activity Details for Paths | Nested_Path_Access |
| | | |
| ParamTable | | |
| Name | Value | |
| Paths: | \\win2008r2nas\dept\IT, \\192.168.10.125\Dept\IT, \\NETAPPCM\dept\IT |
| Operations: | mkdir, checkin, view, rmdir, rename, link, dirread, update, renamedir, create, copy, symlink, write, dirwrite, move, security, read, delete, checkout, undelete, permchange |
A small sampling of the data returned would be:
| File Server \ Web Application | Access Path | Path Name | Path Type | User Name | User Account | Meta Access Type | IP Address | BU Name | BU Owner | Start Time | End Time | Event Count | Total | DFS Path | Access Type | Permission Change Details |
