Environment

Novell GroupWise 2014 R2 for Linux
SUSE Enterprise Server 11 Support Pack 3
SUSE Enterprise Server 11 Support Pack 4
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11) Linux Support Pack 2

Situation

  After upgrading from an earlier version of GroupWise, scripts using gwtmstmp or dbcopy fail to work properly and the following errors occur when run directly : 

/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/gwtmstmp: error while loading shared libraries: liboff_eng.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/dbcopy: error while loading shared libraries: liboff_eng.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Resolution

This is an issue due to architectural changes made with 2014 R2.   To workaround,  either cd to /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin and run dbcopy, or gwtmstmp

or in your shell,  enter:   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/lib
