Line SpacerDirectories and files used by the Installation program


/opt/novell/groupwise/software directory

The GroupWise software distribution directory resides initially on the GroupWise distribution CD. GroupWise Administration is installed directly from the CD. In addition, during installation, you can create a software distribution directory on your network from which you subsequently install the GroupWise agents and GroupWise client software.

The default software distribution directory is /opt/novell/groupwise/software.


install file

The install file is the script you use to install all components of GroupWise on Linux. See "Setting Up a Basic GroupWise System on Linux" in the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.


agents directory

The agents subdirectory contains all files associated with GroupWise agents:


novell-groupwise-agents.version.date.i386.rpm

The novell-groupwise-agents.version.date.i386.rpm file is the GroupWise agent package that is installed by the Installation script. You can install the agent package manually if necessary. To see what files are installed by the package, see Linux Installation Directory.


startups directory

The startups subdirectory contains the default startup files for the GroupWise agents. During installation, a customized startup file is created for each agent that includes the location of the domain or post office serviced by that agent. The customized startup files are named after the domain or post office for which they are created. See Linux Installation Directory.


S99grpwise file

The S99grpwise file is the GroupWise agent startup script. During installation, it is named grpwise and placed in /etc/init.d. If you choose to have the agents start automatically when the server reboots, the Installation script places symbolic links to it named S99grpwise are placed in the rc3.d and rc5.d subdirectories of /etc/init.d. For more information, see "Installing and Starting the GroupWise Linux Agents" in "Installing a Basic GroupWise System" in the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.


domain directory

The domain subdirectory contains the files from which domains are created.


wpdomain.dc file

The wpdomain.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for rebuilding GroupWise 4.x domain databases (wpdomain.db files) in secondary domains.

If the wpdomain.dc file is missing from the primary domain, you cannot rebuild GroupWise 4.x secondary domains. The original wpdomain.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise distribution media.

Historical Note: WordPerfect Office (WP Office), the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the wp in wpdomain.dc. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.


gwdom.dc file

The gwdom.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for creating and rebuilding GroupWise 6.x and GroupWise 5.x domain databases (wpdomain.db files) in secondary domains.

If the gwdom.dc file is missing from the primary domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 6.x/5.x secondary domains. The original gwdom.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise distribution media.

Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Hence, the wp in wpdomain.db. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.


wphost.dc file

The wphost.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for rebuilding GroupWise 4.x post office databases (wphost.db files).

If the wphost.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot rebuild GroupWise 4.x post offices in that domain. The original wphost.dc file is located in the domain subdirectory of the GroupWise distribution media. There is also a copy in the po subdirectory.

Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Post offices were originally called hosts. Hence, the name wphost.dc. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.


gwpo.dc file

The gwpo.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for creating and rebuilding GroupWise 6.x and GroupWise 5.x post office databases (wphost.db files).

If the gwpo.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 6.x/5.x post offices in that domain. The original gwpo.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise CD. There is also a copy in the po directory.

Historical Note: WP Office, the predecessor of GroupWise, was originally designed by WordPerfect Corporation (WPCorp). Post offices were originally called hosts. Hence, the name wphost.db. Some naming conventions were originally preserved for backward compatibility.


po directory

The po subdirectory contains the files from which post offices are created.


ngwguard.dc file

The ngwguard.dc file is the distribution copy of the data dictionary for building the following databases in the post office:

If the ngwguard.dc file is missing from a post office, new databases cannot be created in the post office, so the post office cannot grow. The original ngwguard.dc file is located in the po directory of the GroupWise CD.

GroupWise Remote also uses the ngwguard.dc file as the data dictionary for its local databases.


client directory

The client subdirectory contains all files associated with GroupWise Windows client. See "Client" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.


install file

The install file is the script that GroupWise Cross-Platform client users run to install and set up the GroupWise client on their Linux or Macintosh* workstations. See "Setting Up the GroupWise Cross-Platform Client" in the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.

ofviews directory

The client\ofviews subdirectory contains platform-specific subdirectories of view files for use by the GroupWise client. On Linux, the win subdirectory contains the view files for the Windows client, so that users on a Linux post office can use the Windows client if desired. The Cross-Platform client does not use view files like the Windows client does.

In addition, the gwviewxx.ini and ofviewxx.ini files configure custom views on the menus where users select views in the Windows client. The gwviewxx.ini file configures GroupWise 6.x and GroupWise 5.5 views. The ofviewxx.ini file configures views from earlier versions of GroupWise.


admin directory
