9.2 Linux Software Distribution Directory
Master copy of GroupWise
software
9.2.1 /opt/novell/groupwise/software directory
The GroupWise software distribution directory resides initially on the GroupWise Administrator 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.

to install all components of GroupWise on Linux. See Linux:
Setting Up a Basic GroupWise System

in
the GroupWise

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 Section 8.1.2, Linux Installation Directory.
grpwise file
The grpwise file is the GroupWise agent
startup script. It is installed 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 in
the rc3.d and rc5.d subdirectories
of /etc/init.d. For more
information, see Installing
and Starting the Linux GroupWise Agents
in Installing
a Basic GroupWise System
in the GroupWise
7 Installation Guide.
9.2.3 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 7.x, 6.x, and 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 7.x/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 7.x, 6.x, and 5.x post office databases (wphost.db files).
If the gwpo.dc file is missing from a domain, you cannot create or rebuild GroupWise 7.x/6.x/5.x post offices in that domain. The original gwpo.dc file is located in the domain directory of the GroupWise Administrator 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.
9.2.4 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:
- ngwguard.db (guardian database)
- dmxxnn01-FF (document management databases)
- msgnnn.db (message databases)
- userxxx.db (user databases)
- puxxxxx.db (databases for replicated items like shared folders)
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 Administrator CD.
In Remote mode, the GroupWise client also uses the ngwguard.dc file as the data dictionary for its local databases.
9.2.5 client directory
The client subdirectory contains all
files associated with GroupWise Windows client. See Client
in
the GroupWise
7 Administration Guide.

9.2.6 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 7.x, 6.x, and 5.5 views. The ofviewxx.ini file configures views from earlier versions of GroupWise.
