4.1 Avoiding Data Corruption

If you are running the GroupWise driver on a Windows server and the domain database is on a NetWare® server, you can have data corruption if the Novell Client™ is not configured properly. The default setting for the Novell Client can cause problems for the GroupWise driver.

Make sure that File Commit is set to On and File Caching is set to Off. These are properties of the Novell NetWare client and they are not set to these values by default. To change the Novell Client:

  1. Right-click the red N in the taskbar, then click Novell Client Properties.

  2. Click the Advanced Settings tab, then scroll to verify that File Caching is Off and that File Commit is On.

  3. Click OK.
