Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Update 2
5.6 Overhead of Extraneous Users
When you add users to your Synchronizer system, data is automatically synchronized from
GroupWise to the GroupWise Connector before users connect their mobile devices to your
Synchronizer system. Do not add users to your Synchronizer system who do not have mobile
devices. Extraneous users create unnecessary synchronization traffic in your Synchronizer system.
5.7 Thorough Uninstallation Required
The standard uninstallation procedures provided in “
Uninstalling the Mobility Pack
” in the
Novell
Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Installation Guide
occasionally fail to completely uninstall the
Mobility Pack because of various server-specific issues. When the Mobility Pack software is not
completely uninstalled, the next installation does not proceed normally. For example, you might
encounter problems configuring LDAP access during installation. To ensure that the Mobility Pack
software has been completely uninstalled, perform the following checks:
In YaST, click
Software > Add-On Products
. The Mobility Pack should not be listed. If it is still
listed, select it, then click
Delete
.
In YaST, click
Software > Software Repositories
. The Mobility Pack repository should not be
listed. If it is still listed, select it, then click
Delete
.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not remove the existing Mobility Pack repository, you cannot
successfully install the next version of the Mobility Pack software.
In YaST, click
Software > Software Management
. In the
Filters
drop-down list, select
Patterns
.
Under the
Primary Functions
heading, the Mobility Pack should not be listed. If it is still listed,
select it. Review the
Packages
list for any packages that were not successfully uninstalled and
uninstall them.
In YaST, click
Software > Software Management
. In the
Search
field, specify
datasync
, then
click
Search
. The
Packages
list should be empty. If any Data Synchronizer packages are still
listed, uninstall them.
Log in as
root
in a terminal window, then check for Data Synchronizer RPMs:
rpm -qa | grep datasync
If any Data Synchronizer RPMs are still installed, uninstall them:
rpm -e
rpm_name
.rpm
Make sure that none of the following directories still exist on your server:
/opt/novell/datasync
/etc/datasync
/etc/init.d/datasync*
/var/lib/datasync
/var/log/datasync
/var/run/datasync
/var/lib/pgsql
If any of these directories still exist, delete them.
After performing all these checks, reboot the Synchronizer server.
Remove the Synchronizer certificate from any workstations where you have run Synchronizer
Web Admin. For example, in Firefox, click
Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption > View
Certificates
. Select the certificate named
DataSync Web Admin
, then click
Delete
.
