time, you must prepare your Notes system to link to your GroupWise
®
system:

Š “Adding the GroupWise Address Book to Notes” on page 25

Š “Starting the Notes Client on the Notes Gateway Server” on page 34
Adding the Notes Software Directory to the Path Variable
The Notes Gateway needs to be able to locate the Notes software directory. Therefore, you must
add the Notes software directory to the path variable on the server where the Gateway runs.
1
Right-click My Computer, then click Properties.
2
Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
3
In the User Variables for Administrator list, add the Notes software directory (typically
c:\program files\lotus\notes ) to the end of the path variable value.
4
Click Set, then click OK.

Continue with Adding the GroupWise Address Book to Notes .
Adding the GroupWise Address Book to Notes
The first time you start the Notes Gateway, it creates a secondary Address Book file ( wpnames.nsf )
on the Notes/Domino server. This file contains all GroupWise users listed in the GroupWise
Address Book and enables Notes to resolve addresses and correctly route messages addressed to
GroupWise users through the gateway.
In order for Notes to read from the wpnames.nsf file, you must list the wpnames.nsf file in the
Names section of the notes.ini file in the
\program files\lotus\domino directory.
1
From the Notes/Domino server, use a text editor to open the notes.ini file.
2
Search for the Names= line.
If the notes.ini file already has a Names= line, each filename that follows Names= represents
an Address Book that Notes searches when it is verifying recipient names in mail messages.
The first Address Book in the list is the public Address Book (typically names.nsf). Additional
