The Shares option allows shared folder, calendars, and contacts to be synchronized between mobile devices and GroupWise. This option is disabled by default. To enable shares:
In the Mobility Admin console, go to Config > GroupWise.
Select Shares to enable synchronization.
Click Save.
Restart the Mobility Service:
rcgms restart
When enabling shares, be aware of the following:
GroupWise 2014 R2 SP1 or later POAs are required for share owners and recipients to enable shares for users.
Share notifications can only be accepted in the GroupWise client.
We recommend that you enable shares during off peak hours as shared data needs to be cached on the Mobility server.
The Mobility server startup time might be slower with shares enabled. The amount the startup is slowed depends on the number of shared folders in your system.
Dashboard alerts let you know if there is a problem with individual shares. Check the log files for more information.
GroupWise share rights are enforced. Rights are enforced at the Mobility server and not on the device. For example, if a user doesn’t have delete rights, a device delete appears to work. However, on the next device sync the deleted item is restored.
Share owners do not need to be Mobility users.
