GroupWise Caching mailbox on Windows 7
6.5.1 gwxxxxxx directory
Your GroupWise Caching/Remote mailbox is a directory structure that functions similarly to a post office. Like a post office, it contains databases and input/output queues. The default location varies by platform.
For the Windows client, the same directory structure is used for a Caching mailbox as for a Remote mailbox. However, a Caching mailbox is a complete copy of your Online mailbox, but you can restrict what gets downloaded into your Remote mailbox.
6.5.2 rofdata directory
The rofdata directory contains the databases accessed by the GroupWise client when running in Caching mode. The databases in rofdata are similar to the databases found in post offices. For comparison, see Section 6.2, Post Office Directory.
Historical Note: An earlier version of the GroupWise client Remote mode, designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp), was named WP Office Remote. Hence, the rof in rofdata. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
msg.db file
The msg.db file is the cached equivalent of the msgnnn.db files in the ofmsg directory in your post office. The msg.db file contains copies of messages from your Online mailbox.
user.db file
The user.db file is the cached equivalent of the userxxx.db files in the ofuser directory in your post office.
wprof.db file
The wprof.db file contains the cached version of the GroupWise Address Book.
Historical Note: An earlier version of the GroupWise client Remote mode, designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp), was named WP Office Remote. Hence, the wprof in wprof.db. Some naming conventions have been preserved for backward compatibility.
wprof.dc file
The wprof.dc file is the data dictionary for the cached Address Book (wprof.db).
Historical Note: An earlier version of the GroupWise client Remote mode, designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp), was named WP Office Remote. Hence, the wprof in wprof.dc. Some naming conventions have been preserved for backward compatibility.
ngwguard.db file
The ngwguard.db file is the guardian database for your Caching mailbox. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.db file in the post office.
ngwguard.dc file
The ngwguard.dc file is the data dictionary for building the databases in the GroupWise Caching mailbox. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.dc file in the post office.
ngwguard.rfl file
The ngwguard.rfl file is a roll-forward transaction log of every database transaction that has taken place since the last copy of the ngwguard.fbk file was created. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.rfl file in the post office.
ngwguard.fbk
The ngwguard.fbk file “fall back” copy of the ngwguard.db file. It is parallel in function to the ngwguard.fbk file in the post office.
puxxxxx.db files
The puxxxxx.db files are databases for replicated items such as shared folders. These databases prevent conflicts between user names of shared items from users in other post offices and user names in your own post office. They are parallel to the puxxxxx.db files in the post office.
ngwcheck.db file
The ngwcheck.db file tracks GroupWise Check threads and the databases being checked. In the GroupWise client, GroupWise Check is run using .
gwcheckn.log
The gwcheckn.log file records any errors that occurred during mailbox repair. For assistance with GroupWise Check errors, see GroupWise Check Error Codes
in Administration Error Messages
in the GroupWise 2012 Troubleshooting 1: Error Messages.
gwdms directory
The gwdms directory is the Document Management Services directory. It contains information about the libraries in your GroupWise system. It has the same structure as the gwdms subdirectory in the post office.
dmsh.db file
The dmsh.db file is a database shared by all libraries that contains a list of all available libraries and lookup tables for each library.
dmxxnn01-FF.db files
The dmxxnn01-FF.db files are databases for library and document information. They are parallel to the dmxxnn01-FF.db files in the post office.
docs directory
The docs directory holds cached copies of the documents in your Online mailbox.
index directory
The index directory under the gwdms directory contains the QuickFinder index for the documents in your Caching mailbox.
index directory
The index directory under the rofdata directory contains the QuickFinder index for the messages in your Caching mailbox.
6.5.3 wpcsin directory
The wpcsin subdirectory is the input queue for the connection that transfers messages to your GroupWise system for delivery. Messages from the GroupWise client in Caching mode are processed through the priority 1 subdirectory of wpcsin.
When you send a message in Caching mode, the GroupWise client connects to your GroupWise system. It polls the wpcsin\1 directory and compresses any outgoing messages, requests, or both into a file. If the compressed file totals over 50 KB, additional compressed files are created. The GroupWise client then moves the compressed files into the wpgwsend directory.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). The Message Transfer Agent (MTA) was originally named the Connection Server (CS). Hence, the directory name wpcsin for the input queue, although the MTA is not involved in processing messages in your Caching mailbox. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
6.5.4 wpcsout\ofs directory
The wpcsout\ofs directory is the output queue for the connection that transfers messages from your Online mailbox. Messages from your GroupWise system are processed through the priority 1 subdirectory of wpcsout\ofs.
The GroupWise client scans the wpcsout\ofs\1 subdirectory and updates the user.db and msg.db files with the information received from your Online mailbox.
Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). The Message Transfer Agent (MTA) was originally named the Connection Server (CS). Hence, the directory names wpcsin and ofs for the input queue, though the MTA is not involved in processing messages in your Remote mailbox. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
0-7 directories
The priority 0-7 subdirectories in the connection output queue (wpcsout\ofs) parallel those found in the ofs directory in your post office.
6.5.5 wpgwsend directory
The wpgwsend directory holds compressed files that contain outgoing messages, requests, or both. When a connection to your GroupWise system is established, the GroupWise client uploads the files to your Online mailbox.
Historical Note: WP Office Remote, the predecessor of the GroupWise client Remote mode, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the name wpgwsend. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
6.5.6 wpgwrecv directory
The wpgwrecv directory holds compressed files that contain messages or other information that have been received from your Online mailbox. The GroupWise client decompresses the files and places the message files into the wpcsout\ofs\1 directory.
Historical Note: WP Office Remote, the predecessor of the GroupWise client Remote mode, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the name wpgwrecv. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.
6.5.7 remoten.log file
The remoten.log files are saved versions of the connection logs you can view in the GroupWise client by clicking . These log files can be useful for troubleshooting problems with your connection to your Online mailbox.
6.5.8 statusn.txt file
The statusn.txt files are saved versions of the content that displays in the GroupWise client when you click . These log files can be useful for troubleshooting problems with your connection to your Online mailbox.
