9.2.1 c:\grpwise\software directory

The GroupWise software distribution directory resides initially on the GroupWise 2012 software image. GroupWise Administration is installed directly from the original media. In addition, during installation, you create a software distribution directory on your network from which you subsequently install the GroupWise agents and GroupWise client software.

The default software distribution directory is \grpwise\software.

setup.exe file

The setup.exe file is the GroupWise Installation program. You can run it in a software distribution directory to install software from that location.

9.2.2 agents directory

The agents subdirectory contains all files associated with GroupWise agents:

  • Message Transfer Agent (MTA)

  • Post Office Agent (POA)

  • Document Viewer Agent (DVA)

win32 directory

The win32 subdirectory contains the GroupWise agent files installed on Windows servers. See Windows MTA, POA, and DVA Installation Directory.

startups directory

The startups subdirectory contains the default startup files for the GroupWise agents. During installation, a customized startup file is created for each agent that includes the location of the domain or post office serviced by that agent. The customized startup files are named after the domain or post office for which they are created. See Windows MTA, POA, and DVA Installation Directory.

snmpmibs directory

The snmpmibs directory contains Management Information Base (MIB) files for the GroupWise agents. SNMP-enabled agents can be monitored and managed using an SNMP management program. See the following sections in the GroupWise 2012 Administration Guide:

help directory

The help directory holds the help files that you can view from the agent Web consoles. See Using the POA Web Console in Post Office Agent and Using the MTA Web Console in Message Transfer Agent in the GroupWise 2012 Administration Guide.

9.2.3 domain directory

The domain subdirectory contains the files from which domains are created.

wpdomain.dc file

The wpdomain.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for rebuilding GroupWise 4.x domain databases (wpdomain.db files) in secondary domains.

If the wpdomain.dc file is missing from the primary domain, you cannot rebuild GroupWise 4.x secondary domains. The original wpdomain.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise software image.

Historical Note: WordPerfect Office (WP Office), the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the wp in wpdomain.dc. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.

gwdom.dc file

The gwdom.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for creating and rebuilding GroupWise 2012, 8, 7, 6.x, and GroupWise 5.x domain databases (wpdomain.db files) in secondary domains.

If the gwdom.dc file is missing from the primary domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 2012, 8, 7, 6.x, and 5.x secondary domains. The original gwdom.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise software image.

Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the wp in wpdomain.db. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.

wphost.dc file

The wphost.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for rebuilding GroupWise 4.x post office databases (wphost.db files).

If the wphost.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot rebuild GroupWise 4.x post offices in that domain. The original wphost.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise software image. There is also a copy in the po subdirectory.

Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Post offices were originally called hosts. Hence, the name wphost.dc. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.

gwpo.dc file

The gwpo.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for creating and rebuilding GroupWise 2012 8, 7, 6.x, and GroupWise 5.x post office databases (wphost.db files).

If the gwpo.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 2012 8, 7, 6.x, and 5.x post offices in that domain. The original gwpo.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise software image. There is also a copy in the po directory.

Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Post offices were originally called hosts. Hence, the name wphost.db. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.

9.2.4 po directory

The po subdirectory contains the files from which post offices are created.

ngwguard.dc file

The ngwguard.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for building the following databases in the post office:

If the ngwguard.dc file is missing from a post office, new databases cannot be created in the post office, so the post office cannot grow. The original ngwguard.dc file is located in the po directory of the GroupWise software image.

In Remote mode, the GroupWise client also uses the ngwguard.dc file as the data dictionary for its local databases.

9.2.5 admin directory
