- Page 22 Structure: When a user experiences a problem that is related to the library databases, you should perform a structure check. The structure check verifies the integrity of the databases and reports the amount of space that could be recovered. If there is a structural problem, the databases are rebuilt with free space reclaimed.
- Page 23 3 From the Action drop-down menu, select Analyze/Fix Library. 4 Select from the following options: Verify Library: This is a post office-level check. It verifies that all libraries are on the libraries list. It also checks the schema and guarantees its integrity. If there is a problem with the schema, it resets to a default schema to reclaim any missing items.

Synchronize User Name: The Author and Creator fields display users’ full names, not unique IDs. If a user’s name is changed, such as for marriage, this option verifies that the user’s name on document and version records is the same as the user’s current display name.
- Page 25 Synchronizing Database Information ® In general, synchronization of object information throughout your GroupWise system occurs automatically. Whenever you add, delete, or modify a GroupWise object, the information is automatically replicated to all appropriate databases. Ideally, each domain database (wpdomain.db) in your system contains original records for all objects it owns and accurately replicated records for all objects owned by other domains.
- Page 26 However, this process requires exclusive access to the post office database. See Section 26.3, “Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases,” on page 381. ® Occasionally, GroupWise user information can get out of sync with Novell eDirectory user information. This requires a different type of synchronization process. See Section 41.4.1, “Using...
- Page 27 Current, correct post office information is then replicated throughout your GroupWise system. After synchronization is complete, you can verify that it was successful by checking the post office information when connected to different domains in your GroupWise system. See also Section 26.3, “Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases,”...
- Page 28 See also Section 26.3, “Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases,” on page 381. 29.5 Synchronizing the Primary Domain from a Secondary Domain Information about a secondary domain stored in the secondary domain database is considered more current and correct than information about that secondary domain stored in the primary domain database.
- Page 29 Managing Database Disk Space One of the most common maintenance issues in a growing system is running out of disk space. In ® addition to sending messages, users tend to use GroupWise for all sorts of communication, such as transferring large files. Library documents created with Document Management Services (DMS) can use huge amounts of disk space.

- Page 49 Retaining User Messages ® GroupWise enables you to retain user messages until they have been copied from message databases to another storage location. This means that a user cannot perform any action, such as emptying the mailbox Trash, that results in a message being removed from the message database before it has been copied.
- Page 50 When ConsoleOne reads a trusted application record that has the Provides Message Retention Service setting turned on, it adds a Retention tab to the GroupWise Client Environment Options (Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Client Options > Environment). Environment Options Dialog Box with the Retention Tab Open Figure 33-2 You use this Retention tab to enable message retention at the domain, post office, or user level, meaning that you can enable it for all users in a domain, all users in a post office, or individual users.
