For libraries, the Analyze/Fix Databases option of Mailbox/Library Maintenance looks for problems and errors in library and document databases and then fixes them if you select the Fix Problems option.
In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the name of the name of the library that you want to analyze/fix.
Click Maintenance > Mailbox/Library Maintenance.
From the Action drop-down menu, select Analyze/Fix Databases.
Select from the following options:
Structure: When a user experiences a problem that is related to the library databases, you should perform a structure check. The structure check verifies the integrity of the databases and reports the amount of space that could be recovered. If there is a structural problem, the databases are rebuilt with free space reclaimed.
Index Check: If you select Structure, you can also select Index Check. An index check can be time-consuming.
Contents: The library database (located in the gwdms folder of the post office) does not contain documents. Documents are stored in the lib0000-FF folders. A contents check analyzes references from libraries to documents.
Collect Statistics: If you selected Contents, the Collect Statistics option is available to collect and display statistics about the library, such as the number and size of documents.
Attachment File Check: Files that are attached to messages are stored under the offiles subfolder in the post office. When Mailbox/Library Maintenance performs an attachment file check, it reads each attachment file, verifying the file structure. If you skip the attachment file check, Mailbox/Library Maintenance verifies that the attachment file exists but it does not process the file in any way.
Fix Problems: This option tells Mailbox/Library Maintenance to fix any problems it finds. Otherwise, Mailbox/Library Maintenance just reports the problems.
Using the tabs at the bottom of the Mailbox/Library Maintenance dialog box, set the following options:
Selected options can be saved for repeated use. See Saving Mailbox/Library Maintenance Options.
Click OK to perform the Analyze/Fix Databases operation on the library.
HINT:You can also perform this task for more than one library object at a time by using the Maintenance > Mailbox/Library Maintenance dialog on the Post Office where the library objects are located, then selecting Maintenance on Libraries on this Post Office.
Analyze/Fix Databases can also be run using the stand-alone GroupWise Check program. See Section 51.1, GroupWise Check. It can also be scheduled to run on a regular basis by properly configuring the POA. See Section 15.4.1, Scheduling Database Maintenance.
