12.6 Refreshing the Client View Files in the Post

Office

The GroupWise Windows client software includes view files that control the appearance of the

client interface. When you copy the client software to a software distribution directory, the view

files are included. A copy of the view files is also stored in each post office.

When you use AutoUpdate to force Windows client software updates, the AutoUpdate process

makes one attempt to update the view files in the post office based on the latest client software in the

software distribution directory. If that attempt fails, the problem is recorded in the POA log file and

you can then manually update the view files in the post office.

1 In ConsoleOne, select the post office whose view files you want to update, then click Tools >

GroupWise Utilities > System Maintenance.

with the selected post office.

IMPORTANT: If you have created custom view files with the same names as standard view

files, they will be overwritten when the post office view files are refreshed from the software

distribution directory. If you have such customized view files, you must back them up and t hen
