30.3 Reclaiming Disk Space in Domain and Post
Office Databases
As you add information to your system, the domain databases (
wpdomain.db
) and post office
databases (
wphost.db
) increase in size. If you delete information, the space created in the databases
for the information is not immediately recovered. GroupWise will use the free space before
requiring more disk space; however, if you have deleted a large amount of information, you might
want to reclaim unused database space. If you have frequent changes to your users, especially
deletions, you should occasionally reclaim disk space.
1 In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object or Post Office object where you want
to reclaim disk space.
2 Click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > System Maintenance .
3 Select Reclaim Unused Space , then click Run .
4 When prompted, make sure the Path to Database is correct. If an incorrect path is displayed,
browse to and select the path to the database where you want to reclaim disk space. Click OK .
