Configure Reload for GroupWise

• Set the GroupWise version in Reload Administration.

Go to Reload Administration by running:

reload

Then go to System | GroupWise | Version and select the appropriate version of GroupWise.

Should that fail the GroupWise software can be added manually:

• Determine what, if any, GroupWise software is already loaded. Get a list of installed GroupWise software by running:

rpm -qa | grep groupwise

• This will return a list of GroupWise components already installed or just return to the command line if nothing is installed. For example, novell-groupwise-dbcopy and novell-groupwise-agents
• Uninstall existing software by running:

rpm -e <software>

For GroupWise 8 and 2012:

rpm -e novell-groupwise-dbcopy 
rpm -e novell-groupwise-agents

For GroupWise 2014:

rpm -e novell-groupwise-server

• Install the GroupWise software:

For GroupWise 8 and 2012, DBCopy and the agent software must be installed from the GroupWise installation software package. DBCopy is found in the "admin" directory and the agent software is found in the "agents" directory. For example, GroupWise 2012:

rpm -ivh novell-groupwise-agents-12.0.2-108211.i586
rpm -ivh novell-groupwise-dbcopy-12.0.2-108211.i586

For GroupWise 2014 and 2014R2, install the server software found in the "server" directory.

./install_server.sh

NOTE: Once the GroupWise software is installed, Reload and Blueprint for Reload can immediately use the version of software that you install. The version of GroupWise will eventually be reported correctly in the Reload Web Administration and Reload Console menu. It can take up to an hour because Reload only checks the version of the GroupWise software that is installed every hour.

Configure Profiles

Configure GroupWise for Reload

Enable Retention Services on GroupWise

To prevent items from being deleted from GroupWise before they are backed up, it is recommended to enable Message Retention Services across the Domain.

• Go into GroupWise Administration | Domain | <specific system> | Client Options | Integrations | Retention and enable "Enable Message Retention Service"

Configure Restore Area

On Reload Server:

• Enable NFS Server
• Export Profile directory

On GroupWise Server:

• Enable NFS Client
• Mount Reload Profile NFS mount
• Create PO Restore Area

To check if this worked:

• On the Reload server, load a backup for the profile
• On a workstation with a GroupWise client, select File | Open Backup. This will show the items not on the production GW server for the user.
