gwia directory

Represents the name of your GroupWise Internet Agent home directory. gwia is the default name used if you did not specify a different directory name when installing the Internet Agent.


gwhold directory

The gwhold directory contains the qfiles subdirectory, which holds messages that are scheduled from the GroupWise client for delayed delivery.


qfiles directory

Messages scheduled for delayed delivery. Messages in the qfiles directory remain in encrypted format until the Internet Agent transfers them to the send directory.


gwprob directory

The Internet Agent uses the gwprob directory for messages it can't process. These are usually messages that have been corrupted during transmission or that have the wrong Internet address.


wpcsin directory

The Internet Agent places inbound messages in one of the wpcsin subdirectories (0-7). Most messages go in the 4 directory, although some administrative and status messages might go in other directories. The Message Transfer Agent retrieves the messages and delivers them to the proper destinations.


wpcsout directory

The wpcsout directory contains two subdirectories: nnnxxxx and problem. The Message Transfer Agent places outbound messages in the appropriate 0-7 subdirectory for the Internet Agent to retrieve and process.


nnnxxxx directory

nnnxxxx is a system-defined directory, where xxxx is a randomly-generated number and nnn represents the first three letters of the Internet Agent name as defined in ConsoleOne.


xxx.prc directory

The Internet Agent uses the xxx.prc directory to process messages. The xxx.prc directory contains two subdirectories: cmd and gwwork.


cmd directory

The cmd directory is used only if there are multiple Internet Agent processes. It correlates the activity between the processes.


gwwork directory

The gwwork directory stores temporary files created by the Internet Agent as it converts and builds the message.


mmddlog.nnn file

Log files created by Internet Agent; the Internet Agent creates a log file each day named mmddlog.nnn, where mm is the month, dd is the day, and nnn is a sequential number indicating the sequence of log files in a day.


pulse.tmp file

pulse.tmp is a file the Internet Agent re-creates every time the Internet Agent completes a cycle (after an idle loop). If you are not at the Internet Agent console but need to know if the Internet Agent is running, you can delete the pulse.tmp file. If the Internet Agent is running, it will re-create the file.


send directory

The Internet Agent places outbound messages in the send directory after converting them. It then polls the send directory and sends any messages to the destination SMTP host.


defer directory

Messages that are deferred and re-queued according to the Retry Schedule are held in the defer directory. If the Internet Agent receives a temporary error, such as Host Down, the Internet Agent places the message in the defer directory for a specified time, then transfers the file to the send directory for another attempt at sending to the Internet.


receive directory

The Internet Agent places inbound messages in the receive directory, converts them into GroupWise format, and then passes them to the Message Transfer Agent.


result directory

When the Internet Agent processes the message, it builds a file, r*.*, in the result directory that contains several lines of comments and SMTP reply codes, which might indicate possible errors or confirm correct transmission. After the Internet Agent has completed the transmission with the destination host, it moves another file, s*.* from the send directory to the result directory. The filenames for both files are identical, except for the first letter, which is either s or r. The s file is the converted message file. The Internet Agent looks at the s and r files in the Result directory and compares the conversation. If the r file contains the correct (250 OK) SMTP reply codes, the Internet Agent deletes the file and sends a transferred status message to the user's Sent Items folder.


gwcnvrt directory

This directory contains a number of conversion programs the Internet Agent uses to convert message attachments to ASCII.


save directory

If you reinstall or upgrade the Internet Agent, your old configuration files will be copied here as a backup. If you reinstall or upgrade repeatedly, the files will be overwritten each time.


helprqst directory

This directory contains an ASCII help file that is mailed to users who request help from the Internet Agent. The administrator can create four subdirectories in this directory called \operator, \postmstr, \account, \foreign. Files placed in these subdirectories will be mailed to users who request help and who are assigned these administrative levels in ConsoleOne.
