Admin-Defined Fields; Pending Operations - Novell GROUPWISE 7 - SYSTEM Manual

To ensure that the user information stored in the GroupWise databases is always synchronized with
the user information in eDirectory, you can set up eDirectory user synchronization. For detailed
information see

4.4 Admin-Defined Fields

eDirectory includes user information that is not associated to GroupWise user fields. For example, a
User object includes Postal Address fields named City, State, and Zip Code. By default, these fields
are not displayed in the GroupWise Address Book. However, you can use the Admin-Defined Fields
feature to map eDirectory user fields to GroupWise fields so that they can be displayed in the
GroupWise Address Book. For instructions, see
Address Book," on page

4.5 Pending Operations

Pending operations are the results of administrative operations, such as adding GroupWise objects
and modifying GroupWise object properties, that have not yet been permanently written to the
appropriate GroupWise databases. While operations are pending, GroupWise data is not in a
consistent state.
For example, you can maintain any domain's objects you have administrative rights over. However,
because a secondary domain owns its own objects, any operation you perform from the primary
domain on a secondary domain's objects must be validated by the secondary domain. While the
operation is being validated, the Pending Operations dialog box displays object details and the
pending operation.
While the operation is pending, the object is marked Unsafe in the primary domain database. The
Operation field in the dialog box displays the pending operation. An unsafe object can have other
operations performed on it, such as being added to a distribution list; however, the object record is
not distributed to other domains and post offices in the system until it is marked Safe.
All pending operations require confirmation that the operation was either successfully performed or
could not be performed. If the operation was successful, the pending operation is removed from the
list, the record is marked in the database as Safe, and the record is distributed to all other domains
and post offices in your system. If the operation could not be performed, the pending operation
remains in the list where you can monitor and manage it.
