Deleting A Software Distribution Directory - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - SYSTEM Manual

3 Fill in the following fields:
Update by Copying From: Select this option, then choose from the following source
locations:
Software Distribution Directory: If you want to copy software from an existing software
distribution directory, select this option, then select the software distribution directory. All
files and subdirectories are copied.
Path: If you want to copy software from a location, that is not defined as a software
distribution directory in your GroupWise system (such as the GroupWise 8 DVD or
downloaded GroupWise 8 image), select this option, then browse for and select the correct
path.
Force Auto-Update Check by GroupWise Components: This option causes the GroupWise
Post Office Agent (in client/server access mode) or the GroupWise client (in direct access
mode) to check the software distribution directory for a new version of the GroupWise client; if
a new version is found, the next time a user starts the GroupWise client, he or she is prompted
to update the client software.
The Force Auto-Update Check by GroupWise Components option is automatically selected
when you select the Update by Copying From option. If you don't select the Update by
Copying From option, you can still select this option and then click OK. This forces an auto-
update check of the client software version, but the software distribution directory's files are
not updated.
To determine the current client software version in ConsoleOne, click Tools > GroupWise
Diagnostics > Record Enumerations to display a list of records types in the domain database.
From the drop-down list, select Areas by ID, select a software distribution directory, then click
Info to list detailed information about the software distribution directory. Check the Software
Version field to determine the GroupWise client software version.
4 Click OK to update the directory's software.
