Advanced and Expanded Resources

Updated LogicSource for GroupWise

Become GroupWise savvy! The latest LogicSource for GroupWise update focuses on the architecture behind the GroupWise WebAccess Application. It includes an explanation of all the WebAccess Application configuration files. It also outlines steps you can take to configure the WebAccess Application so that it is easier to troubleshoot. In keeping with the Novell direction to fully include the Linux platform, this LogicSource release discusses the GroupWise 6.5.x WebAccess Application on both the Novell NetWare 6.5 and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 platforms.

This month's update also focuses on troubleshooting and fixing the GroupWise Post Office Database (WPHOST.DB). You will learn all of the actions that can be performed on a post office database within ConsoleOne as well as how to know when you should take those actions.
