GroupWise Check (GWCheck) is a tool provided for GroupWise to check and repair GroupWise user, message, library, and resource databases without needing the Administration Console. In addition to checking and repairing databases in the post office, it also checks and repairs users’ remote, caching, and archive databases on user workstations or other personal locations.
GWCheck provides a user interface similar to the Mailbox/Library Maintenance feature in the GroupWise Admin console. The list below illustrates the types of database repair that you can perform using GWCheck. Click Help in GWCheck for more information about the database repair options that are available.

If you repeatedly use the same set of database repair options, you can save them in an options file. To create an options file, start GWCheck, select database repair options as needed, then click Save. By default, the options file is named gwcheck.opt and is saved in your home folder. You can change the file name and location as needed.
You can retrieve the options file from the user interface or you can specify the options file on the command line. The options file is created in XML format.
After you have created one or more options files, you can run GWCheck as a script, rather than using the user interface.
