34.3.1 GWTMSTMP Functionality
GWTMSTMP places date and time information on user databases (userxxx.db) in order to
support message backup, restore, and retention. No other databases are affected. You can run
GWTMSTMP on all user databases in a post office or on a single user database.
Backup
To ensure thorough user database backups, you can make sure that deleted items are not purged from
users' databases until they have been backed up. Two conditions must be met in order to provide this
level of protection against loss of deleted items:
The Allow Purge of Items Not Backed Up option must be deselected in ConsoleOne, as
described in "Environment Options: Cleanup" on page
User databases (userxxx.db)
that items can be purged only after being backed up.
If you use GWTSA on NetWare 5.1 or
databases, the backup time stamp is automatically added as part of the backup process. However, if
you do not use GWTSA or TSAFS, you must use GWTMSTMP to make sure that user databases are
time-stamped so that items will not be prematurely purged.
Restore
If you use the GWTSA on NetWare 5.1 or
mailbox, the restore time stamp is automatically added as part of the restore process. However, if
you do not use GWTSA or TSAFS, you can use GWTMSTMP to add the restore time stamp to the
database. The restore time stamp is not required for any GroupWise feature to work properly. Its
primary purpose is informational.
Retention
If you use a message retention application (see
page 419), the application should automatically add the retention time stamp after retaining the
database's messages. Any messages with dates that are newer than the retention time stamp cannot
be purged from the database.
You can also use GWTMSTMP to manually add a retention time stamp.
34.3.2 Running GWTMSTMP on NetWare
The GWTMSTMP program (gwtmstmp.nlm) is installed into the same directory where you
installed the GroupWise agents (POA and MTA). You can copy it to additional locations if needed.
To check the existing time stamp on all GroupWise user databases in a post office, use the following
command:
Syntax:
gwtmstmp.nlm /p-volume:\post_office_directory
Example:
gwtmstmp.nlm /p-sys:\gwsystem\dev
