Tab Options
The Databases, Logging, Results, Misc, and
Exclude tabs let you specify database types and logging options.
Databases
Select the type of database that you want to run Mailbox/Library Maintenance options against. You can choose either a user or message database.User
Each user on a post office has a user database (userxxx.db where xxx is the user's file ID) located in the ofuser directory. The user database stores the user's setup information, personal groups, rules, and other information specific to the user. It also contains references to the user's messages in the message databases.Message
Messages in a post office are stored in the message databases (msgnn.db) in the ofmsg directory.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
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 to 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.Exclude
Lists any individual or resource you want to exclude from the Mailbox/Library Maintenance tasks. Available for the Post Office object type only.
