We just found that the storelowercase GWCheck option (for moving GW from Windows or Netware to Linux) is fundamentally broken and can result is most of the contents of OFFILES getting deleted.  So, don't use it at the moment - we have a fix coming out very shortly.  In the meantime you will have to use the dbcopy -m option to do the case checking on migrations.

We will rerelease the TIDs when the fix is available. New 6.5 agent FTFs should be on the web tonight and we hope to get a new GWCheck out too.

Hi Tim - yes the fix is in GW7 SP1, however, we are not expecting to have a public beta refresh of SP1. That means that most people won't see the fix until SP1 ships.

Hi Alex,

It is possible to open a support request and request the build containing the fix. Other than that we should be releasing the full SP1 soon
