51.1 Connecting GroupWise Systems
If you have two independent GroupWise systems, you can use the Internet Agent to connect the two
systems. This requires each GroupWise system to have the Internet Agent installed.
After the systems are connected, you can synchronize information between the two systems so that
users from both systems appear in the GroupWise Address Book.

51.1.1 Overview

For the purpose of the following discussion, GWSys1 and GWSys2 represent two separate
GroupWise systems.
When you connect the two systems, you connect the two domains where the Internet Agents are
located. To do so:
In GWSys1, define the GWSys2 Internet Agent domain as an external domain. Configure a
domain link from the GWSys1 Internet Agent domain to the external domain, defining the link
type as a gateway link that uses the Internet Agent. This allows GWSys1 to deliver messages to
GWSys2.
In GWSys2, define the GWSys1 Internet Agent domain as an external domain. Configure a
domain link from the GWSys2 Internet Agent domain to the external domain, defining the link
type as a gateway link that uses the Internet Agent. This allows GWSys2 to deliver messages to
GWSys1.
