Environment
Novell GroupWise 2014
Situation
When attempting to recover a deleted resource from a back up of a wpdomain.db, the RECOVER button is greyed out. When you try to recover a resource with no space, then there is no problem.
Resolution
Resolution pending bug fix. However a workaround is to manually create the resource with the desired specific GroupWise FileID, in in this example it is 5yx.
This example has a resource name of "ACM EXEC CONF RM".
IF you have an error with this curl command where your resource has a space in the name, place the string %20 where the space would be, in the below example the resource name should be : ACM%20EXEC%20CONF%20RM .
curl -k --user admin:password https://<PrimaryDomainIP-Address>:9710/gwadmin-service/domains/<GWDomain>/postoffices/<GWPostOfficeOfResource>/resources -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data "{\"name\": \"ACM EXEC CONF RM\", \"owner\": \"<resource-owner>\", \"fileId\": \"5yx\"}"
Additional Information
The problem also occurs in a beta build of GroupWise Cornell at this time.
Steps to duplicate: 1. Have a working functional GW2014 system with a resource called , like "ACM EXEC CONF RM". 2. Make a copy of your primary domain db to your desktop 3. Delete the resource listed in Step # 1 from the Web Admin Console 4. In the Web admin console, click on System, Recover Deleted Account, browse to the location of the wpdomain.db on your desktop from Step # 2 above and highlight this file and Click OK. 5. Click on "Account To Recover" , and select the "Resources" radio button to show only resources. 6. Click the check box for " ACM EXEC CONF RM" and click OK. 7. You will notice the RECOVER button is greyed out.
