6.1 Starting the Notes Gateway
Before you start the Notes Gateway, make sure that it has network access to the following locations:
-
The GroupWise® domain directory and subdirectories where you installed the gateway files. The gateway requires Read, Write, Create, Erase, Modify, and File Scan rights.
-
The Notes/Domino server. If you installed the Notes Gateway on a server other than the Notes/Domino server (the recommended configuration), you should have already provided access when you configured the Notes side of the gateway, as described in Section 4.5, Setting Up Server and Database Access for the Notes Gateway User
Make sure that the Notes client is running on the Notes Gateway server, then follow the instructions for the installation method you chose for the Notes Gateway (worksheet item 7):
IMPORTANT:After you start the gateway, stop and then start the MTAs in the GroupWise system. This establishes the links to the non-GroupWise domain that represents the Notes system.
