81.1 Adding Multiple Calendar Publishing Hosts

Often, one CalPub Host is sufficient to service all Internet users who want to access your GroupWise users’ calendar and free/busy information. However, you might want to add an additional CalPub Host for load balancing or to improve response time for Internet users in different geographical locations.

If you have users in remote locations, and response time is slow for these users, you can add a CalPub Host to a POA that is closer to these remote users.

NOTE:Sections referenced in the following steps are found in the GroupWise 2014 R2 Installation Guide.

  1. Install the CalPub Host software to a remote web server.

    For instructions, see Installing the GroupWise Calendar Publishing Host.

  2. Add and configure the new CalPub Host.

    For instructions, see Configuring the Calendar Publishing Host in the GroupWise Admin Console.

  3. Restart the POAs for post offices that support calendar publishing so that the POAs pick up the configuration information for the new CalPub Host.

  4. Restart Tomcat on the server where you installed the new CalPub Host to establish it as part of your GroupWise system.

  5. Ensure that the new CalPub Host is accessible.

    For instructions, see Testing GroupWise Calendar Publishing.

  6. To improve performance when you set up multiple CalPub Hosts, follow the instructions in TID 7007208: Load Balancing and High Availability for GroupWise Calendar Publishing in the Novell Support Knowledgebase.

  7. Continue with Assigning a Different Calendar Publishing Host to Users.
