Environment

Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 1

Situation

Following the GroupWise 8 Documentation, chapter 65.5 Collecting Gateway Accounting Data.
 
Create an external GW domain, link it to the primary domain using ip with a unique port. 
Create external PO and user.
 
Assign an existing GW user as the accountant of the GWIA.
Using the GWIA Account's GW Client, configure a rule to forwards all mails with the accounting file to the external user.
The GWIA accountant receives the accounting files after restarting GWIA.
 
In the Accountant's mailbox - sent items folder,  The rule generated message stay in a pending state - as external user does not have a real mailbox.
 
The link from Primary to External domain is open and configured as per the documentation - ip and a unique port specified in the Link Configuration Tool.
 
GW Monitor does not show any accounting log files via Log | Gateway Accounting Logs.
Consequently there isn't any info in Reports | Gateway Accounting.
In all these places is GWIA listed with a check-box, but you do not get any accounting info displayed in any place.
 
The online documentaion is not correct and has been reported.
