Current, correct information is then replicated throughout your GroupWise system.
If many User or Resource objects are being synchronized, you can check progress by viewing
pending operations. See
Section 4.5, “Pending Operations,” on page 65
.
After synchronization is complete, you can verify that it was successful by checking the
synchronized objects in Address Books and several post offices in your GroupWise system.
If there are indications that a large number of User or Resource objects need to be synchronized,
rebuilding the post office database (
wphost.db
) can be preferable to synchronizing individual
objects. However, this process requires exclusive access to the post office database. See
Section 26.3, “Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases,” on page 397
.
Occasionally, GroupWise user information can get out of sync with Novell
®
eDirectory
TM
user
information. This requires a different type of synchronization process. See
Section 41.4.1, “Using
eDirectory User Synchronization,” on page 653
.

Properties
.

Make sure the correct information appears on the post office Identification page, then click
Cancel.

Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Synchronize.
5
When you are asked whether to proceed, click
Yes
