12.12 Testing the Merged System

You should test your merged Site #1 system to make sure it is operating correctly.

  1. Search the Address Book for users who were in the old Site #2 to see if they are now being displayed for the newly-merged Site #1. Also search the Address Book for users who were in Site #1 before the merge to see if they are still being displayed.

  2. Send a test message from the primary domain to the new secondary domains (merged from Site #2) to ensure that message routing is working correctly.

  3. Check the mrgemail.log file in the primary domain directory to see if there were any e-mail address conflicts as a result of the merge.

    For assistance with resolving e-mail address conflicts, see Managing User E-Mail Addresses in Users in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.

  4. Check the appropriateness of the current configuration of the newly merged Site #1 that have now taken on the configuration of the GroupWise system into which they were merged:

    Configurations to review include:

    • POA scheduled events

    • Trusted applications

    • LDAP servers

    • Internet addressing and default Internet Agents

    • Distribution lists

    • Client options

    • Proxy rights

    • Shared folders

    • Shared address books

After you are satisfied with the operation of the merged system, you can merge the next system by starting with Section 10.0, Planning the Merge. If you have already completed the planning worksheet for the next system to be merged, continue from Section 12.1, Creating External Domains for Both Systems.
