9.5.2 Linking the Domains
It is important that the inbound links for the external domains you create in Site #2 and Site #1 are
established and correct for both systems. These links are used to transfer messages, including
administrative messages, from one GroupWise system to another.
Each domain object in eDirectory includes a link configuration attribute that is used to control
access to link information. If you have appropriate eDirectory rights, you can view the domain links
with the Link Configuration tool available in ConsoleOne
®
.
You can create links (of any type) between the domain being merged from Site #2 and the secondary
domains in Site #1 before running the merge. However, this is not necessary to perform the merge.
Instead, you can allow the merge utility to automatically create the indirect links between the
secondary domains of Site #1 and the domain being merged from Site #2, and you can later optimize
your system by reconfiguring the indirect links created by the merge utility.
See “ Managing the Links between Domains and Post Offices ” in “ Domains ” in the GroupWise 7
Administration Guide for information on setting up direct links between domains.
