45.1 Replicating Users, Resources, and Groups

Most often, you will notice a replication problem when a user has trouble sending a message. Symptoms include:

  • The sender receives a “user is undeliverable” message.

  • A new user, resource, or group does not appear in the Address Book in some or all post offices.

  • User, resource, or group information is incorrect in the Address Book but correct in the GroupWise Admin console.

  • A user, resource, or group is listed in the Address Book as belonging to one post office but actually belongs to another.

To replicate User, Resource, and Group objects:

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the name of the user, resource, or group.

  2. Click More > Replicate.

    The task to replicate the object is passed to the GroupWise Admin Service for processing.

If many User, Resource, and Group objects are being replicated, you can check progress by viewing pending operations. See Section 4.16, Pending Operations.

After replication is complete, you can verify that it was successful by checking the replicated objects in Address Books and several post offices in your GroupWise system.

If there are indications that a large number of User or Resource objects need to be synchronized, rebuilding the post office database (wphost.db) can be preferable to synchronizing individual objects. However, this process requires exclusive access to the post office database. See Section 42.3, Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases.
