To resolve this problem create the subdirectory and copy the missing file to it.
- Create the subdirectory "wpoffice" in the domain directory
- Copy the file "ngwguard.dc" from the Software Distribution Directory's "po" subdirectory.
Additional Information
When creating a new Post Office, Console One needs to copy the
required '*.dc' files to the new directory structure. This includes
the 'gwpo.dc' file from the domain directory and the 'ngwguard.dc'
file located in the 'wpoffice' subdirectory of the domain
structure. Without these files the Post Office creation process can
not complete successfully.
If the 'wpoffice' directory and the 'ngwguard.dc' file is missing, no error will be displayed and the create process will not continue.
Both of the '*.dc' files should be the current version. The version can be checked by opening them in an editor and checking the first line. For GroupWise 8.x, the first line should be "#VERSION=800". The correct version of these files can be found in a current Software Distribution Directory under 'domain' or 'po'.
