Vertigo Getting Started
Contents |
Overview
Vertigo was designed to provide a simplified but powerful interface for managing GroupWise systems from a single to multi user level. It combines the everyday abilities of ConsoleOne with individual con- figuration options of a GroupWise mailbox on a mass or single user level into one clear, concise appli- cation. Vertigo displays the GroupWise system to be viewed much like a file browser. On the left hand side is a tree view of the GroupWise system, domain(s), and post office(s) with their respective users, lists, and groups. The right hand side of the screen displays information on the selected object or user and allows configuration of settings.

Licensing
Vertigo requires a license to function properly. Demo users will need to contact their sales rep. for a demo license. You can help them find who their sales rep is HERE, if they don't know who it is already.
They will also need to know their GroupWise System name when they register the license. Vertigo requires this to be accurate or it will not work. There are a few different ways to find out what your GW system name is.
- Open ConsoleOne, click on 'Groupwise System'. The bottom left hand corner will show the GW system name.
- Open ConsoleOne, right click on 'Groupwise System' and choose 'information'. It will open a new window. The top of the new window will show: 'Information: GW system name'
- Open Vertigo without a license installed (Demo mode), connect to your GW system, then go to help, and then about. It will give this information on the right hand side.
The GW system name is case sensitive. Once you have your the name, you can enter this in the 'GW System Name:' field when registering for your Vertigo license .pem file.
Installation
Vertigo can be downloaded from http://download.gwava.com/download.php?product=Vertigo&version=versions.
Preparation
Pre-installation and pre-configuration:
- Workstation must have the Novell Client installed. (GW 2014 systems do not require the Novell client.)
- Make sure that SOAP is enabled on the POA
- Know the address of the POA
- Know the active open ports for SOAP
- Have access to the domain database from the computer on which you are installing Vertigo. (Linux systems require a mapped drive through a Samba share.)
- Administrator access to the primary GroupWise wpdomain.db database (Authenticated as Admin through the Novell client to the GroupWise system)
- Obtain / download the latest version of Vertigo (GroupWise 2014 does not require access to the domain database or the Novell client, only an adminis-
trator account logged into the Win. 32 client.)
Demo customers need to contact their sales rep for a demo license.
