10.2.1 /opt/novell/groupwise/software directory

The GroupWise software distribution directory resides initially on the GroupWise 8 DVD or GroupWise 8 downloaded software image. GroupWise Administration is installed directly from the original media. In addition, during installation, you can 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 /opt/novell/groupwise/software.

install file

The install file is the script you use to install all components of GroupWise on Linux. See Linux: Setting Up a Basic GroupWise System in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.

10.2.2 agents directory

It is not installed by the Installation script but must be installed manually, as described in Linux: Running TSAFS and TSAFSGW in Databases in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.

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 Section 8.1.2, Linux Installation Directory.

grpwise file

The grpwise file is the GroupWise agent startup script. It is installed in /etc/init.d. If you choose to have the agents start automatically when the server reboots, the Installation script places symbolic links to it named Snngrpwise in the rc3.d and rc5.d subdirectories of /etc/init.d. For more information, see Installing and Starting the Linux GroupWise Agents in Installing a Basic GroupWise System in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.

10.2.3 domain directory

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 distribution media.

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 8, 7, 6.x, and 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 8/7/6.x/5.x secondary domains. The original gwdom.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise distribution media.

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 distribution media. 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 8, 7, 6.x, and 5.x post office databases (wphost.db files).

If the gwpo.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 8/7/6.x/5.x post offices in that domain. The original gwpo.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise 8 DVD or GroupWise 8 downloaded 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.

10.2.4 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 8 DVD or GroupWise 8 downloaded software image.

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

10.2.5 client directory

The client subdirectory contains all files associated with GroupWise Windows client. See Client in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.

install file

The install file is the script that GroupWise Linux client users run to install and set up the GroupWise client on their Linux workstations. See Installing and Starting the GroupWise Linux Client in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.

The novell-groupwise-gwcheck.version.date.i386.rpm file is the GroupWise Check utility package. It is not installed by the Installation script but must be installed manually, as described in Using GWCheck on Linux in Databases in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.

10.2.6 ofviews directory

The client\ofviews subdirectory contains platform-specific subdirectories of view files for use by the GroupWise client. On Linux, the win subdirectory contains the view files for the Windows client, so that users on a Linux post office can use the Windows client if desired. The Linux client does not use view files like the Windows client does.

In addition, the gwviewxx.ini and ofviewxx.ini files configure custom views on the menus where users select views in the Windows client. The gwviewxx.ini file configures GroupWise 8, 7, 6.x, and 5.5 views. The ofviewxx.ini file configures views from earlier versions of GroupWise.
