Scheduling Database Maintenance

By default, the POA performs one recurring database maintenance event. At 12:00 a.m. each Friday, the POA performs a structural check of all user, message, and document databases in the post office. You can modify this default database maintenance event, or create additional database maintenance events for the POA to perform on a regular basis.

1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the POA object > click Properties.

2. Click GroupWise > Scheduled Events to display the Scheduled Events page.

   
   

   The Scheduled Events page lists a pool of POA events available to all POAs in your GroupWise system.

3. To modify the default database maintenance event, which would affect all POAs that have this database maintenance event enabled, select Default POA Mailbox/Library Maintenance Event, then click Edit.

   or

   To create a new database maintenance event, which will be added to the pool of POA events that can be enabled for any POA in your GroupWise system, click Create, type a name for the new database maintenance event, then select Mailbox/Library Maintenance in the Type field.

   
   

4. In the Trigger box, specify when you want the database maintenance event to take place.

   You can have the database maintenance event take place once a week, once a day, or at any other regular interval, at whatever time you choose.

   Below the Trigger box is listed the pool of POA database maintenance actions that are available for inclusion in all POA database maintenance events in your GroupWise system.

5. To modify the default database maintenance action, select Default POA Mailbox/Library Maintenance Actions, then click Edit.

   or

   To create a new database maintenance action, click Create, then type a name for the new database maintenance action.

   Database maintenance actions and options you could schedule include:

   Actions	Options on Actions
   Analyze/Fix Databases Structure Index check Contents Collect statistics Fix problems Reset user disk space totals Analyze/Fix Library Verify library Fix document/version/element Verify document files Validate security Synchronize user name Reassign orphaned documents Reset word lists	Databases User Message Document Logging Log file Verbose log level Results mailed to Administrator Individual users Exclude Selected users Notification Action status

   For more detailed descriptions of the above actions, click Help in the Scheduled Event Actions dialog box.

6. Select and configure the database maintenance action to perform for the database maintenance event.

7. Click OK three times to close the various scheduled event dialog boxes and save the modified database maintenance event.

   ConsoleOne then notifies the POA to restart so the new or modified database maintenance event can be put into effect.
