Table 34-1
WPHOST.DB
The post office database
(wphost.db) is checked for
the file ID (FID) of the
selected user.
After GWCheck makes the database comparisons, it begins processing according to the databases
selected and any inconsistencies found.
Case 1 - Missing Entry in the Post Office Database (wphost.db)
In this example, a contents check is run either against all users on the post office or against one user,
"ABC." GWCheck does not find the FID of one or more users.
Table 34-2
WPHOST.DB
?
No entry for this user is found in
the post office database
(wphost.db).
GWCheck removes the entry from ngwguard.db, deletes userabc.db and systematically
deletes all of the user's messages from the message databases that are not still being referenced by
other users. If the user has been deleted, GWCheck cleans up after that user.
WARNING: If a post office database becomes damaged so some users are unable to log in,
GWCheck should not be run until the post office has been rebuilt. For more information, see
Section 26.3, "Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases," on page
Case 2 - Missing Entry in the Guardian Database (ngwguard.db)
In this example, a GWCheck is run either against all users on the post office or against one user,
"ABC." A user's FID is found and the user's database is found in the post office, but the user is
missing in ngwguard.db.
Table 34-3
WPHOST.DB
FID abc
The user appears in the post
office database (wphost.db).
