The GroupWise software distribution directory resides initially on the GroupWise distribution CD. GroupWise Administration is installed directly from the CD. In addition, during installation, you create a software distribution directory on your network from which you subsequently install the GroupWise agents and GroupWise client software.
The default software distribution directory is \grpwise\software.
The docs subdirectory of the software distribution directory contains language-specific subdirectories for the GroupWise 6 Installation guide in PDF format. You can find the most up-to-date version of the Installation guide on the GroupWise Documentation Web site.
The gwinst subdirectory of the software distribution directory contains the Acrobat Reader called by the GroupWise Installation Advisor so that you can easily refer to the Installation guide during installation.
The agents subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains all files associated with GroupWise agents:
The install.exe file in the agent subdirectory (agents) in the software distribution directory is the installation program you run to install the GroupWise agents on the machines where you will run the POA and/or MTA. For instructions, see Installing and Starting the POA in Post Office Agent and Installing and Starting the MTA in Message Transfer Agent in the Administration guide.
The nlm subdirectory in the agent subdirectory (AGENTS) in the software distribution directory contains the GroupWise agent NLMTM files installed on NetWare servers. See NetWare Agent Installation Directory .
The nt subdirectory in the agent subdirectory (agents) in the software distribution directory contains the GroupWise agent files installed on Windows machines. See Windows Agent Installation Directory .
The startups subdirectory in the agent subdirectory (agents) in the software distribution directory contains the default startup files for the GroupWise agents. During installation, a customized startup file is created for each agent that includes the location of the domain or post office serviced by that agent. The customized startup files are named after the domain or post office for which they are created. See NetWare Agent Installation Directory or Windows Agent Installation Directory .
The snmp subdirectory in the agent subdirectory (agents) in the software distribution directory contains GroupWise MIB files. For more information, see Using SNMP Monitoring Programs in Post Office Agent and Message Transfer Agent in the Administration guide.
The domain subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains the files from which domains are created.
The wpdomain.dc file in the domain subdirectory in the software distribution directory is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for rebuilding GroupWise 4.x domain databases (wpdomain.db files) in secondary domains.
If the wpdomain.dc file is missing from the primary domain, you cannot rebuild GroupWise 4.x secondary domains. The original wpdomain.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise distribution media.
Historical Note: WordPerfect Office* (WP Office), the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the wp in wpdomain.dc. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
The gwdom.dc file in the domain subdirectory in the software distribution directory is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for creating and rebuilding GroupWise 6.x and GroupWise 5.x domain databases (wpdomain.db files) in secondary domains.
If the gwdom.dc file is missing from the primary domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 6.x/5.x secondary domains. The original gwdom.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise distribution media.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the wp in wpdomain.db. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
The wphost.dc file in the domain subdirectory in the software distribution directory is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for rebuilding GroupWise 4.x post office databases (wphost.db files).
If the wphost.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot rebuild GroupWise 4.x post offices in that domain. The original wphost.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise distribution media. There is also a copy in the PO subdirectory.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Post offices were originally called hosts. Hence, the name wphost.dc. some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
The gwpo.dc file in the domain subdirectory in the software distribution directory is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for creating and rebuilding GroupWise 6.x and GroupWise 5.x post office databases (wphost.db files).
If the gwpo.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 6.x/5.x post offices in that domain. The original gwpo.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise CD. There is also a copy in the po directory.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Post offices were originally called hosts. Hence, the name wphost.db. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
The po subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains the files from which post offices are created.
The NGWGUARD.DC file in the PO subdirectory in the software distribution directory is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for building the following databases in the post office:
If the ngwguard.dc file is missing from a post office, new databases cannot be created in the post office, so the post office cannot grow. The original ngwguard.dc file is located in the po directory of the GroupWise CD.
GroupWise Remote also uses the ngwguard.dc file as the data dictionary for its local databases.
The client subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains all files associated with GroupWise client, organized into platform-specific subdirectories. See Client in the Administration guide.
The client\win32 subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains all GroupWise client files installed for use with Windows 95/98/ NT/2000. See GroupWise Windows client installation directory .
The client\win32\setup.exe file is the program GroupWise client users run to install and set up the GroupWise client on their Windows workstations. See Client in the Administration guide.
The client\ofviews subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains platform-specific subdirectories of view files for use by the GroupWise client. In addition, the gwviewxx.ini and ofviewxx.ini files configure custom views on the menus where users select views. The gwviewxx.ini file configures GroupWise 6.x and GroupWise 5.5 views. The ofviewxx.ini file configures views from earlier versions of GroupWise.
The admin subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains subdirectories for administrative tools that can be used with GroupWise.
The admin\c1admin subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne®.
The admin\monitor subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains the GroupWise 6 Monitor program, an SNMP monitoring program for use with the GroupWise agents. See Monitor in the Administration guide.
The admin\utility subdirectory in the software distribution directory contains helpful GroupWise utilities.
