The following switches point the GWIA to the GWIA’s folder. They are assigned their initial value during installation.
Specifies the location of the GWIA configuration file (gwia.cfg). The gwia.cfg file is created in the /domain_folder/wpgate/gwia folder. The gwia.cfg file includes the --home switch.
Points to the SMTP service work area. This is normally the same as the GWIA folder (/domain_folder/wpgate/gwia).
Syntax: --dhome path_name
Linux Example: --dhome /gwsystem/provo1/gwia
Windows Example: /dhome=c:\gwsystem\provo2\gwia
Specifies the hostname that is displayed when someone connects to your GWIA using a Telnet session. You should enter the hostname assigned to you by your Internet service provider.
Syntax: --hn host_name
Example: --hn gwia.novell.com
This switch is required only under certain circumstances. Normally, the GWIA gets the information from another source and does not need this switch. If you receive a message that the ‑‑hn switch is required, you must use the switch.
Specifies the GWIA home folder (/domain_folder/wpgate/gwia), where the GWIA can find its databases, input/output queues, and configuration files. There is no default location. You must use this switch in order to start the GWIA.
Syntax: --home gateway_folder
Linux Example: --home /gwsystem/provo1/gwia
Windows Example: /home-j:\headq\wpgate\gwia
If you specify a UNC path with the ‑‑home switch when you run the GWIA as a Windows service, you must configure the GWIA service to run under a specific Windows user account. If you specify a local folder or a mapped drive, you can configure the GWIA service to run under the local system account.
