6.3 Stopping the Notes Gateway

Occasionally, it might be necessary to stop the gateway to perform maintenance on the Windows server or for some other purpose. When you stop the gateway, any messages being sent from GroupWise users are queued in one of the domain\wpgate\notes\wpcsout\ngaxxxx\0-7 directories. Messages sent from Notes users are moved to gateway’s mail file configured in the Notes/Domino Administrator, as described in Section 4.3, Defining the GroupWise System As a Notes Foreign Domain. The messages waiting in each system are processed as soon as the gateway is started again.

Follow the instructions for the installation option you chose for the Notes Gateway:
