Environment

Situation

Does Reload support GroupWise 2014 R2

Resolution

Yes!

Take these steps to properly configure GroupWise 2014 R2 on a Reload server:

  1.  On the Reload server, delete the GroupWise RPMs that ship with Reload
    1. Go to the following directory on the Reload server: /opt/beginfinite/reload/setup/rpms
    2. Delete the entire contents of the above-mentioned directory
    • NOTE: Do not skip the step to delete the contents of the ../reload/setup/rpms directory

  2. Download the GroupWise 2014 R2 software to the Reload Server
  3. Install the GroupWise 2014 R2 software using MicroFocus' installation tools for GroupWise
    1. Install just the GroupWise Server software, that is all that is needed for Reload

Conclusion: As new versions of GroupWise ship, Reload will continue to support those versions of GroupWise. Reload cannot ship with every version of the GroupWise software, that would needlessly bloat the download package for Reload.
