suggested strategy is to create a temporary directory and then create subdirectories in it that
match the names of the primary and secondary domains.

wpdomain.db
file in its appropriate holding directory.

Make a copy of the gwdom.dc file from the domain subdirectory of your software
distribution directory in each holding directory.
11.5 Releasing Site #2 Secondary Domains
1 In ConsoleOne, make sure you are connected to Site #2’s primary domain ( worksheet item 5 ).

8 ), click GroupWise Utilities > System Maintenance to display the GroupWise System
Maintenance dialog box.
3 Select Release Secondary , then click Run to launch the Release Domain Advisor.

then click
Next .

created for the released domain, then click
Next .
9 In the Update eDirectory Objects dialog box, select Yes if you have access to the eDirectory
TM
tree in which the domain is located, then click Next .
or
If you don’t have access to the domain’s eDirectory tree, select
No , then click Next . After you
release the domain, you will need to send the released domain’s database to someone who has
access to the domain’s eDirectory tree. He or she can then use the Graft GroupWise Objects
utility to update the domain’s objects in the eDirectory tree (see “
Graft GroupWise Objects ” in
“ GroupWise Utilities ” in “ System ” in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide ).

If you have not already done so, shut down the primary domain’s MTA and the MTA that
services the domain you are releasing, then click

When the process is finished, the Domain Successfully Released dialog box is displayed.

Click Done to return to the GroupWise System Maintenance dialog box, then click Close .
The secondary domain has now been released to become its own GroupWise system. It is
displayed as an external domain in Site #2.
13 Restart the MTAs in case you need to take care of any pending operations for the next domain
you release.
14 Repeat Step 2 through Step 13 for every Site #2 secondary domain you want to release
( worksheet item 5 and worksheet item 10 ).
When you have released all of the Site #2 secondary domains, you are ready to proceed with
merging the domains into Site #1. For more information, see
Section 11.8, “Merging a Site #2
Domain into Site #1,” on page 72 .
