Environment
GroupWise Mobility Service 18
Situation
If anyone who does not use a US character set on their
Postgres then before running:
/opt/novell/datasync/tools/pgUpdate.sh
edit it and change the reference to en_US.UTF-8 to your
locale, in this case en_GB.UTF-8
Do the same edit for
/opt/novell/datasync/tools/pgUpdate94to96.sh" if you are going to
run that for a SLES12SP3 upgrade.
It has been found that the actual GMS18 upgrade failed saying
that "GroupWise Maintenance was not stored. This may cause
problems. Please consult the readme."
When this happened it was found that the "systemctl start
gms" worked fine and one could could log in but got an unattractive
and uninformative admin error page.
The issue seems to be that /opt/novell/datasync/update.sh did
not read and store the GroupWise 18 license information
correctly
Running:
python
/opt/novell/datasync/syncengine/connectors/mobility/cli/validateGroupWiseAdmin.pyc
-sl "GW Admin IP Address" "9710" "GW Admin Login" "GW Admin
Password"
Then running
python
/opt/novell/datasync/syncengine/connectors/mobility/cli/validateGroupWiseAdmin.pyc
-ca "GW Admin IP Address" "9710" "GW Admin Login" "GW Admin
Password"
fixed this for several customers.
