GroupWise Systems
The External System Synchronization feature lets you automatically synchronize information
®
between your system and an external GroupWise system connected to your system (for
information about connecting GroupWise systems, see "Connecting to GroupWise 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x
Systems" on page 11). This simplifies message addressing by enabling your users to select the other
system's users from the Address Book. Otherwise, your users are required to enter the recipient's
full address (userID.post_office.domain or user@host).
IMPORTANT: The External System Synchronization feature exists in GroupWise 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x.
Therefore, you can use it to synchronize information between 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x systems. You cannot
use it to synchronize information with GroupWise 4.x or 3.x systems.
External System Synchronization lets you control what information (domains, post offices, users,
resources, and distribution lists) you send to the external system and what information you want to
accept from the external system. Any user, resource, and distribution list information you receive
from the external GroupWise system is displayed in the system Address Book.
External synchronization must be set up in both GroupWise systems before it can work properly.
To set up synchronization so that all future Address Book changes are propagated to external
GroupWise systems:
®
1 In ConsoleOne , click Tools > GroupWise System Operations > External System
Synchronization to display the External System Synchronization dialog box.
