When you first install GroupWise Administration, the GroupWise agents are initially installed in platform-specific subdirectories in the agents directory. However, the agents cannot be run from this initial location. They must be installed on the machines where they will run.
On a Windows machine, the GroupWise agents can be installed in any directory you choose. The agent icons are set up to include the full path to whatever directory you choose.
The gwenv1a.dll file is the GroupWise Agent Engine, a program that is shared by both GroupWise agents. It provides the following services to the agents:
The first agent started on a machine automatically starts the GroupWise Agent Engine DLL.
The gwpoa.exe file is the Post Office Agent program. You run this executable file to start the Post Office Agent. See Starting the POA in Post Office Agent in the Administration guide.
The gwmta.exe file is the Message Transfer Agent program. You run this executable file to start the Message Transfer Agent. See Starting the MTA in Message Transfer Agent in the Administration guide.
The gwsnmp.dll file provides interaction with the Windows SNMP Service, so that you can monitor the GroupWise agents using an SNMP monitoring program.
The gwwww1.dll file provides parsing of MIME messages received from the Internet.
The POA startup file contains startup switches for the POA. Switch settings placed in the POA startup file override comparable options set for the POA in ConsoleOne. The xx in the startup filename represents a two-letter language code.
During installation, a customized version of the POA startup file, named post_office.POA, is created. This customized version has the /home startup switch automatically set to the post office directory the POA will service. See Using POA Startup Switches in Post Office Agent in the Administration guide.
The MTA startup file contains startup switches for the MTA. Switch settings placed in the MTA startup file override comparable options set for the MTA in ConsoleOne. The xx in the startup filename represents a two-letter language code.
During installation, a customized version of the MTA startup file, named domain.MTA, is created. This customized version has the /home startup switch automatically set to the domain directory the MTA will service. See Using MTA Startup Switches in Message Transfer Agent in the Administration guide.
Online Help is available by clicking Help in the agent consoles on the machine where the agents are running. In addition, dialog boxes have a Help button for context-sensitive Help.
The first five characters of the filename are the agent name. The digit n is a version number. The last two characters xx are a language code.
The agentnxx.dll files contain all language-specific information for the agents. The digit n is a version number. The last two characters xx are a language code.
The x*10.dll programs provide XIS capability for the GroupWise agents, so that you can create XML documents to monitor and change the agents as needed.
The agent.XML files are specialized agent configuration files for use in the XIS environment.
