Create GroupWise Gateway/Internet Agent

A gateway is a program for transferring messages from your local GroupWise® system to another GroupWise system, or for converting and transferring messages to a third-party system.

Gateway/Internet Agent
If you are setting up the GroupWise Internet Agent, select Internet Agent; otherwise, select Gateway for all other GroupWise gateways and for GroupWise WebAccess.

Gateway Name
Enter a name for the gateway that identifies the gateway and that is unique within the domain. This name and an accompanying GroupWise gateway icon appear together as an object in the GroupWise View. Do not use any invalid characters in the name.

Gateway Home Directory
If you have already installed the gateway software in a domain, a gateway directory name should be listed. Select the directory name where the gateway files are installed.

Language
Select a language. The rules for sorting lists vary among languages. The field defaults to the language selected for the domain; however, you can select the language whose sorting rules will be used for the lists displayed in GroupWise, such as the Address Book.

Time Zone
Select a time zone. The gateway assumes the time zone of its domain; however, you should select a different time zone if the gateway is installed on a server in a different time zone.

Gateway Type
If this field does not already list the gateway you are creating, select a gateway type from the list.

Version
This field defines the GroupWise version for which your gateway was originally developed. If you need to change the database version, select an alternative from the list of database versions.

Platform
GroupWise gateways have been developed for the NetWare®, Windows*, DOS, OS/2*, and UNIX* operating systems. Select the platform of the gateway you installed. If your gateway platform is not listed, select Unknown as the platform.

Define Additional Properties
Additional properties are needed for an object to function in the GroupWise system. If you select this option, you can define these properties immediately after you click Create. If you don't click this box now, you can define additional properties later by right-clicking the object and clicking Details.

Create Another Gateway
If you click this box and then click Create, the object's Create dialog box displays again. This saves you some steps when creating several objects of the same type. If you select this option, you need to define additional properties for the object later.
