7.7 Remote Mailbox Directory
GroupWise mailbox
on a remote computer
7.7.1 remote_mailbox directory
The GroupWise remote mailbox is a directory structure that functions similarly to a post office. Like a post office, it contains databases and input/output queues.
7.7.2 rofdata directory
The rofdata subdirectory in the remote mailbox directory contains the databases accessed by the GroupWise client in Remote mode. The databases in rofdata are similar to the databases found in post offices.
Historical Note: An earlier version of the GroupWise client Remote mode, designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp), was named WP Office Remote. Hence, the rof in rofdata. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
msg.db file
The msg.db file in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the remote mailbox directory is the remote equivalent of the msgnnn.db files in the ofmsg directory in the post office where your master mailbox is located. The msg.db file contains messages you have downloaded from your master mailbox.
user.db file
The user.db file in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the remote mailbox directory is the remote equivalent of the userxxx.db files in the ofuser directory in the post office where your master mailbox is located. The user.db file contains user information you have downloaded from your master mailbox.
wprof.db file
The wprof.db file in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the Remote mailbox directory contains the remote version of the GroupWise Address Book if you have downloaded it.
Historical Note: An earlier version of the GroupWise client Remote mode, designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp), was named WP Office Remote. Hence, the wprof in wprof.db. Some naming conventions have been preserved for backward compatibility.
wprof.dc file
The wprof.dc file in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the Remote mailbox directory is the data dictionary for the remote Address Book (wprof.db).
Historical Note: An earlier version of the GroupWise client Remote mode, designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp), was named WP Office Remote. Hence, the wprof in wprof.dc. Some naming conventions have been preserved for backward compatibility.
ngwguard.db file
The ngwguard.db file in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the Remote mailbox directory is the guardian database for the remote GroupWise mailbox. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.db file in the post office.
ngwguard.dc file
The ngwguard.dc file in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the Remote mailbox directory is the data dictionary for building the databases in the remote GroupWise mailbox. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.dc file in the post office.
ngwguard.rfl file
The ngwguard.rfl file is a roll-forward transaction log of every database transaction that has taken place since the last copy of the ngwguard.fbk file was created. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.rfl file in the post office.
ngwguard.fbk
The ngwguard.fbk file “fall back” copy of the ngwguard.db file. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.fbk file in the post office.
puxxxxx.db files
The puxxxxx.db files in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the Remote mailbox directory are databases for replicated items such as shared folders. These databases prevent conflicts between user names of shared items from users in other post offices and user names in the Remote user’s post office. They are parallel to the puxxxxx.db files in the post office.
ngwcheck.db file
The ngwcheck.db file tracks GroupWise Check threads and the databases being checked. In Remote mode in the GroupWise client, GroupWise Check is run using .
gwcheckn.log
The gwcheckn.log file
records any errors that occurred during Remote mailbox repair. For assistance

gwdms directory
The gwdms subdirectory in the remote data directory (rofdata) in the remote mailbox directory is the Document Management Services directory. It contains the document libraries you have downloaded from your master GroupWise system. It has the same structure as the gwdms subdirectory in the post office.
dmsh.db file
The dmsh.db file is a database shared by all libraries that have been downloaded to your remote GroupWise mailbox. It contains a list of all available libraries and lookup tables for each library.
dmxxnn01-FF.db files
The dmxxnn01-FF.db files are databases for library and document information. They are parallel to the dmxxnn01-FF.db files in the post office.
docs directory
The docs directory holds cached copies of the documents in your Remote mailbox.
index directory
The index directory contains the QuickFinder index for the documents contained in the library.
index directory
The index directory under the rofdata directory contains the QuickFinder index for the messages in your Remote mailbox.
7.7.3 wpcsin directory
The wpcsin subdirectory in the remote mailbox directory is the input queue for the connection that transfers messages to your master GroupWise system. Messages from the GroupWise client in Remote mode are processed through the priority 1 subdirectory of wpcsin.
When the user initiates the connection to the master GroupWise system, the GroupWise client polls the wpcsin\1 directory and compresses the outgoing messages, requests, or both into a file. If the compressed file totals over 50 KB, additional compressed files are created. The GroupWise client then moves the compressed files into the wpgwsend directory.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). The Message Transfer Agent (MTA) was originally named the Connection Server (CS). Hence, the directory name wpcsin for the input queue, although the MTA is not involved in processing messages in your Remote mailbox. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
0-7 directories
The priority 0-7 subdirectories in the connection input queue (wpcsin) in the remote mailbox directory parallel those found in the wpcsin directory in the remote user’s post office on the master GroupWise system.
7.7.4 wpcsout\ofs directory
The wpcsout\ofs subdirectory in the remote mailbox directory is the output queue for the connection that transfers messages from your master GroupWise system. Messages from the GroupWise client in Remote mode are processed through the priority 1 subdirectory of wpcsout\ofs.
In Remote mode, the GroupWise client scans the wpcsout\ofs\1 subdirectory and updates the user.db and msg.db files with the information received from the master mailbox.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). The Message Transfer Agent (MTA) was originally named the Connection Server (CS). Hence, the directory names wpcsin and ofs for the input queue, though the MTA is not involved in processing messages in your Remote mailbox. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
0-7 directories
The priority 0-7 subdirectories in the connection output queue (wpcsout\ofs) in the remote mailbox directory parallel those found in the ofs subdirectory in the remote user’s post office on the master GroupWise system.
7.7.5 wpgwsend directory
The wpgwsend subdirectory in the remote mailbox directory holds compressed files that contain outgoing messages, requests, or both. When a connection to your master GroupWise system is established, the GroupWise client uploads the files across the link from the remote computer to the master GroupWise system.
Historical Note: WP Office Remote, the predecessor of the GroupWise client Remote mode, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the name wpgwsend. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
7.7.6 wpgwrecv directory
The wpgwrecv subdirectory in the remote mailbox directory holds compressed files that contain messages or other information that have been downloaded from your master mailbox. The GroupWise client decompresses the files and places the message files into the wpcsout\ofs\1 directory.
Historical Note: WP Office Remote, the predecessor of the GroupWise client Remote mode, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the name wpgwrecv. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
7.7.7 remoten.log
The remoten.log files in the connection output queue (wpcsout\ofs) in the remote mailbox directory are saved versions of the connection logs you can view in the GroupWise client in Remote mode. These log files can be useful for troubleshooting problems with your modem or with your connection to your master GroupWise system.
