15.0 GroupWise Check Error Codes
GWCheck generates two sets of numeric codes: error codes and problem codes. Both sets of codes are in the same numeric range, but error codes are clearly labeled as errors, for example, “Error 9”.
The GWCheck problem codes are not documented because there is nothing you as an administrator need to do about the problems GWCheck is reporting. GWCheck fixes these problems for you.
This section contains information about the following numeric codes, which are GWCheck error codes:
NOTE:This guide does not include a comprehensive list of all possible GroupWise Check error codes. It lists error codes for which solutions are readily available from GroupWise engineers and testers. You can search the Novell Support Knowledgebase to locate additional solutions documented by Novell Support as specific customer issues have been resolved.
