NetWare Internet Agent installation directory
See also Section 7.5, Internet Agent Queue Directory.
NetWare Internet Agent installation directory
On a NetWare server, the GroupWise Internet Agent is typically installed in the sys:\system directory. You can choose a different location during installation.
gwenn5.nlm file
The gwenn5.nlm file is the GroupWise 8 Agent Engine, a program that is shared by all GroupWise agents. It provides the following services to the agents:
-
Database management
-
File operations
-
Message handling
-
Thread management
-
Semaphores (file/record locking)
-
Date/time services
The first agent loaded on a server automatically loads the GroupWise Agent Engine.
gwia.nlm file
The gwia.nlm file is the Internet Agent program. You load this NLM program to start the Internet Agent. See Starting the Internet Agent
in Installing the GroupWise Internet Agent
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
gwia.cfg file
The Internet Agent configuration file contains startup switches for the Internet Agent. Switch settings placed in the Internet Agent startup file override comparable options set for the Internet Agent in ConsoleOne. The startup file is named the same as the Internet Agent object in ConsoleOne. The default is gwia.
During installation, a customized version of the Internet Agent startup file is created in sys:\system. This customized version has the /home startup switch automatically set to the domain directory where the Internet Agent’s queue directories are located. See Using Internet Agent Startup Switches
in Internet Agent
in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.
gwianxx.fil files
This file contains all language-specific information for the Internet Agent. The digit n is a version number. The last two characters xx are a language code.
gwia.ncf file
The gwia.ncf file is the NetWare configuration file that automatically loads the Internet Agent whenever the server is restarted. A typical gwia.ncf file would look similar to the following:
load sys:\system\gwia @gwia.cfg
x*5.nlm and gwxis12.nlm files
The x*5.nlm and gwxis12.nlm programs provide XIS capability for the GroupWise agents, so that you can create XML documents to monitor and change the agents as needed.
gwia.xml file
The gwia.xml file is a specialized Internet Agent configuration file for use in the XIS environment.

share directory
The share directory holds agent startup files and files that are used by the agent consoles and Web consoles.
gwia.cfg
The Internet Agent configuration file contains startup switches for the Internet Agent. Switch settings placed in the Internet Agent configuration file override comparable configuration options set for the Internet Agent in ConsoleOne. The startup file is named the same as the Internet Agent object in ConsoleOne. The default is gwia.
During installation, the Internet Agent startup file is created in the share directory with the --home startup switch automatically set to the domain directory where the Internet Agent queue directory is located. See Using Internet Agent Startup Switches
in Internet Agent
in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.
agtcon directory
The agtcon directory holds subdirectories and files used by the agent consoles, such as help files.
webcon directory
The webcon directory holds subdirectories and files used by the agent Web consoles, such as help files.
/etc/init.d directory
The /etc/init.d directory is the standard location for Linux startup scripts.
grpwise file
The grpwise script is created automatically during installation. You can use the script to start, restart, stop, and display status information about the Internet Agent. For more information about starting the Internet Agent, see Starting the Internet Agent
in Installing the GroupWise Internet Agent
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
rc3.d directory
The rc3.d directory holds symbolic links to scripts that you want your Linux server to run when it is booted to runlevel 3 (multi-user; boots to a text mode login prompt without the X Window System). The symbolic link to the grpwise script is Snngrpwise. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Internet Agent start automatically when the server boots.
rc5.d directory
The rc5.d directory holds symbolic links to scripts that you want your Linux server to run when it is booted to runlevel 5 (multi-user; boots to the X Window System login dialog box). The symbolic link to the grpwise script is Snngrpwise. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Internet Agent start automatically when the server boots.
/etc/opt/novell/groupwise directory
The /etc/opt directory is the standard location of application configuration files on Linux. Files that configure how the GroupWise Internet Agent interacts with Linux are stored in the novell/groupwise subdirectory.
gwha.conf file
The gwha.conf file is the GroupWise High Availability service configuration file. It is created automatically during installation and provides the information necessary for the High Availability service to restart the Internet Agent if it goes down unexpectedly. See Enabling the Groupwise High Availability Service for the Linux GroupWise Agents
in Installing GroupWise Agents
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
uid.conf file
The uid.conf file configures the Internet Agent to run as a non-root user. See Running the Linux GroupWise Agents As a Non-root User
in Installing GroupWise Agents
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
/var/log/novell/groupwise directory
The /var/log directory is the standard location for log files on Linux. All GroupWise agent log files are created in the novell/groupwise subdirectory.
domain.gwia directory
The domain.gwia directory is a domain-specific location for Internet Agent log files.
