5.16.1 Graft GroupWise Objects

You can use the Graft GroupWise Objects utility to create GroupWise objects in the eDirectory tree
from the information in your GroupWise domain database. The utility creates Domain, Post Office,
and Gateway objects as well as User, Resource, and Distribution List objects. When grafting
GroupWise user information from the GroupWise database into eDirectory, you can match the
GroupWise user information to an existing User object, or you can create a new eDirectory External
Entity object and convert it into an eDirectory User object, as described in

5.16.2 Invalid Associations

Normally, a GroupWise object in eDirectory points to corresponding information in the GroupWise
domain database. In turn, the information in the GroupWise domain database points back to its
corresponding object in eDirectory.
Occasionally, a situation might arise where information in the GroupWise domain database no
longer points to the same eDirectory object that points to it. This results in an invalid association
between the information in the two directories.
