Environment
Novell GroupWise 7
Novell GroupWise Document Management
This is specific to the following Configuration.
Single Domain with 2 post offices.
Post Office A has only users
Post Office B has only libraries
Situation
GroupWise users can no longer see any Libraries.
From the GroupWise Client, attempting to access Tools |
Options | Libraries reports.
GroupWise Error: There are No Document Libraries
Available
And the GroupWise POA reports
Error: Dependent store file does not exist on the disk
[C05D]
Resolution
Discovered the User's Post Office did not have a po\gwdms
directory. This is important because the gwdms
directory contains the dmsh.db. The dmsh.db contains the
library information.
The Library post office directories were fine.
Since the User's po\gwdms and the dmsh.db is missing here
are the steps to resolve this:
1 - Unload the User's poa
2 - Run GWCheck.exe with the following options:
a) fill in the normal fields such as
Database Path and the Post Office Name (to the User's
PO)
b) for object type choose User/Resource and
in the field type in dmsh.db.
c) On the Databases tab uncheck User and
Message and Document.
d) Action: Choose Structural
Rebuild.
e) Run
This will fix the C05D errors. GWCheck Will
Error, because the dmsh.db does not exist on disk. This
will remove or drop the dmsh.db reference from the ngwguard.db,
allowing us to recreate the dmsh.db.
To recreate the dmsh.db.
3 - Stay in GWCheck and change these
options.
a) Object Type - select Post
Office
b) Action: Select Analyze/Fix
Library. With only Verify Library checked.
c) Run
4 - Reload the User's POA
This recreates the po\gwdms\dmsh.db and will allow the
User's to see the Libraries and access their documents.
