Problem: You are updating the MTA software in a secondary domain and the MTA fails to update the database version for the domain. You might see conflicting database version information depending on whether you are connected to the secondary domain or the primary domain.
Possible Cause: You installed and started the MTA for the secondary domain before the MTA for the primary domain had finished updating the primary domain database.
Action: Wait until the MTA for the primary domain has finished updating the primary domain database. For a large domain database, you might need to wait as much as 20 minutes or more. Verify that the primary domain database version has been updated by checking the Domain object's Identification page in ConsoleOne. Then stop and restart the MTA for the secondary domain to update the secondary domain database.
Action: If restarting the MTA for the secondary domain does not update the domain database version:
Compare the dates on the .dc files (gwdom.dc and gwpo.dc) in the secondary domain directory with the dates on the .dc files in the update source (the GroupWise 6.5 Administrator CD or the software distribution directory if it has been updated from the GroupWise 6.5 Administrator CD).
If the dates on the .dc files in the secondary domain are older than the dates on the .dc files in the update source, copy the .dc files from the update source into the domain directory.
At the MTA console, recover the domain database. See "Recovering the Domain Database Automatically or Immediately" in "Message Transfer Agent" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
When the recovery process is finished, the database version should be updated.
In ConsoleOne, connect to the secondary domain, then check the Domain object's Identification page to verify that the database version has been updated.
Connect to the primary domain database, then check the Identification page for the primary domain to verify that the database version information matches in both domain databases.
Action: If recovering the secondary domain database does not update the version, then connect to the primary domain and rebuild the secondary domain database. See "Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases" in "Databases" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
Possible Cause: There are one or more closed links between the secondary domain and the primary domain that are preventing the administrative messages from flowing between the domains to accomplish the database version update.
Action: Check the links between the domains and open any closed links. See MTA Configuration Status Isn't Open. After all links are open, recover the secondary domain database. See "Recovering the Domain Database Automatically or Immediately" in "Message Transfer Agent" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
