- Page 16 3 From the Action drop-down menu, select Analyze/Fix Databases. 4 Select from the following options: Structure: When a user experiences a problem that is related to the user, message, or 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.
- Page 17 Fix Problems: This option tells Mailbox/Library Maintenance to fix any problems it finds. Otherwise, Mailbox/Library Maintenance just reports the problems. Update User Disk Space Totals: Recalculates the total disk space a GroupWise user is using by reading the selected user mailboxes and updating the poll record used for disk space management.

- 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 397. ® 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 See also Section 26.3, “Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases,” on page 397. 29.3 Synchronizing a Library If information for a library does not display the same throughout your GroupWise system, you can synchronize the library. 1 In ConsoleOne, connect to the domain that owns the library, as described in Section 9.1, “Connecting to a Domain,”...
- Page 28 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. If the primary domain database contains out-of-date information, you can synchronize the primary domain from the secondary domain.
- 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.
- Page 51 (http://www.novell.com/partnerguide). For information about developing a message retention application, see the GroupWise Object API and GroupWise Trusted Application API documentation at the Novell Developer Kit Web site (http:/ /developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Novell_Developer_Kit). 33.3 Enabling Message Retention This section assumes that you have installed a message retention application as a GroupWise trusted application and that it is configured to provide a message retention service.

- Page 74 /home Specifies the GroupWise location to back up or restore to. Multiple instances of the /home switch are typical. Use a /home switch for each domain and post office to back up. Also use a /home switch for each post office restore area and any other temporary location to which you want to restore GroupWise data outside the standard GroupWise directory structure.
- Page 75 /tempdir Specifies where TSAFSGW places files during the backup process. You need sufficient disk space to accommodate the largest database, but not the entire domain or post office.
