Situation

Running GroupWise 2014 FTF (prior to build 116819)

/var/log/datasync/connectors/groupwise-agent.log reports the following errors repeatedly:

Resolution

At the time of writing this TID, there is no public patch to resolve this issue. 

Please contact Novell Technical Services to obtain a more recent FTF to fix this issue.

Cause

GMS is unable to retrieve attachments from GroupWise, but then tries over and over again - hogging threads and preventing sync.
