Looks for problems and errors in the selected library databases in the post office, or for all libraries in the post office if you select Post Offices under GroupWise Objects, then fixes them.
GroupWise Objects
Select Libraries or Post Offices, then select the libraries or post offices
for which you want to perform maintenance. If the library or post office you
want does not appear in the GroupWise Objects list, click Close. Select the
library or post office in the ConsoleOne® browser
window, then click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Mailbox/Library Maintenance.
Object Type
Allows you to select the objects you want to
maintain. You can run GroupWise® Mailbox/Library Maintenance on a post
office, for a specific user or resource, or for a library. If you select a
post office, all users and resources in the post office are checked. You
can run Mailbox/Library Maintenance for one or more selected libraries, or
for all libraries in one or more selected post offices.
Action: Analyze/Fix Library
Select Analyze/Fix Library to look for problems and errors in the selected library
databases in the post office. For all options, except Verify Library, all documents
in the library databases are checked. This can be a time-consuming process.
Therefore, if you intend to select more than one of these options, you can save
time by clicking each of them before clicking Run. This causes all checked options
to be run against each document in one pass, which is faster than running each
option individually against all documents in several passes.
Verify Library
Verifies that all libraries are on the Libraries list. It also checks the schema and guarantees its integrity. If there is a problem with the schema, it resets to a default schema to reclaim any missing items. For example, if you deleted the Document Type property, you could recover it by using this option.
Fix Document/Version/Element
Performs an integrity check to ensure 1) each document has one or more versions linked to it, 2) each version has one or more elements linked to it, 3) all versions are linked to a document, and 4) all elements are linked to a version. If there are any missing links, the missing documents or versions are created from the information contained in the existing version or element for which the link is missing. For example, if a version is found that shows no link to a document, a document is created from the information contained in the version and the link is reestablished. Of course, any information in the lost document that might have been newer than the information contained in the version is lost.
Verify Document Files
Determines if the blob exists for a document and that the document is accessible. If not, an error is logged for that document. The log message does not indicate why a file is missing or inaccessible. You can recover a file by restoring it from backup.
Validate All Document Security
Validates document security for the Author, Creator and Security (document sharing) fields. The validation this option performs replaces the results of selecting the Validate Author/Creator Security option, and is more thorough. Therefore, you only need to select one option or the other.
Synchronize User Name
Updates the Author and Creator fields in documents and versions to the user's newer name. The Author and Creator fields display users' full names, not unique IDs. If a user's name is changed, this option verifies that the user's name on document and version records is the same as the user's current display name.
Remove Deleted Storage Areas
Forces the document storage area to be deleted from the system. When you delete a document storage area in the Storage Areas page of a library's details dialog box, the document storage area and the documents stored there remain on the system. Deleting the storage area from the library only means that new documents will not be stored there. If you want to also remove the document storage area from the system, you have two options: 1) delete the storage area and its documents, or 2) first move the documents and then delete the storage area.
You should normally check the Move Documents First box so that users continue to have access to those documents from a different document storage area. With this option, all blobs in the library are checked to see which documents are in the area being deleted.
Reassign Orphaned Documents
Reassigns orphaned documents to another author in your GroupWise system. You must select a new author from the browser menu after checking this option. The new author you designate will have access to all orphaned documents in this library.
Documents can occasionally become orphaned (unattached to a user). For example, if a user leaves your organization and the user object is removed, all documents belonging to that user are no longer available in GroupWise searches and cannot be accessed by anyone because document security is controlled by the user listed in the Author and Creator fields.
Reset Word Lists
Allows the program to regenerate the document library word list the next time an index operation is performed. Documents stored in a library are indexed and inserted into a generated word list. This word list allows users to search for a document by keywords as well as any word contained within a document.
Tab Options
The Databases, Logging, Results, and Misc
tabs let you specify database types and logging options.
Databases
All options on the Databases tab are dimmed because only the document databases are affected.Logging
To log information to a file, enter a filename. By default, the file is created in the po\wpcsout\ofs directory, where po is the post office directory.Log File
Enter a new name for the log file, or accept the default name.Verbose Logging
Produces maximum detail; however, this option creates very large log files and slows execution.Results
Select Administrator to send the results to the user defined as the GroupWise domain administrator. Select Individual Users to send each user the results that pertain to his or her GroupWise user account. The CC area is a comma-delimited field used to list additional users who will receive the report. The Message button displays a text area where you can send a message.Misc
Support options are typically obtained from Novell® Support representatives when you need assistance resolving specific database problems. Some information about commonly used options is available in the Support Knowledgebase. Make sure that you clearly understand what the Support options do before you use them.
