gwadminutil-convert (1)

Name

gwadminutil-convert - The GroupWise Administration Utility database convert option.

Syntax

gwadminutil convert -d path -p path

Description

Promotes a secondary domain to a primary domain in your GroupWise system. When you do this, the current primary domain is demoted to a secondary domain. The MTA and POA must be running to perform this conversion.

This task requires direct file access to both databases. For that reason, it is not available in the Admin console, which provides direct file access to one domain database through the Admin Service for that domain.
