6.4 Updating Address Book Information

Each post office database includes all the information displayed in the GroupWise Address Book
that is stored in the domain. By keeping the information in the post office, the post office's users
have quick access to it. Whenever changes are made in eDirectory that affect Address Book
information, the information is replicated to each domain database and each post office database.
If information in a post office's Address Book is out-of-date or missing, you can synchronize the
missing information with eDirectory or rebuild the post office database to obtain updated
information from the domain.

6.4.1 Synchronizing Information

The information for each object (user, resource, distribution list, and so forth) in the GroupWise
Address Book is contained in eDirectory. When an object's information is incorrect in a post office's
Address Book, you can synchronize the object's information in the Address Book with the
information stored in eDirectory. This causes the correct information to be replicated to each domain
and post office database in the GroupWise system. For instructions, see
Database Information," on page

6.4.2 Rebuilding the Post Office Database

If the post office Address Book is missing a lot of information, or if you are having other difficulties
with information in the Address Book, you might want to rebuild the post office database. This
causes all information to be replicated to the post office database from the domain database. For
instructions, see Section 26.3, "Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases," on page
6.5 Controlling Address Book Synchronization
for Remote Client Users
Before GroupWise 7, Remote client users received updated system Address Books based on the
Refresh Address Books and Rules Every nn Days setting under Accounts > Mail > Properties >
Advanced. The entire Address Book was downloaded to the Remote client according to the specified
schedule. The downloadable version of the Address Book was created by the POA according to the
schedule described in Section 36.4.3, "Performing Nightly User Upkeep," on page 513
Starting in GroupWise 7, the POA automatically updates the post office database with changes to the
Address Book as they occur. As a result, whenever a Remote client connects to the GroupWise
system, it automatically downloads any updates to the Address Book that have occurred since the
1052.
