Use this dialog box to establish synchronization between your GroupWise® system and another GroupWise system that you've linked to as an external GroupWise system.
External System Synchronization lets you control what information (domains, post offices, users, resources, and distribution lists) you send to the external system and what information you accept from the external system. Any user, resource, and distribution list information you receive from the external GroupWise system is displayed in the GroupWise Address Book. For example, you can choose whether you only want to add users from the external system, or also add the external resources.
External System Name
Enter the name of the external GroupWise system. The name needs to match the
actual name of the external GroupWise system.
Description
Enter a description of the external system. This is an optional field.
External Domain
Click the External Domain (globe) icon to display a list of the external domains
defined in your GroupWise system. Select an external domain that belongs to
the external GroupWise system with which you are synchronizing information.
Send to External System
Select the information (Domains, Post Offices, Users, Resources, and Distribution
Lists) you want sent to the external GroupWise system during synchronization.
Only the information that your system owns is sent. For example, if you've connected
to another GroupWise system and its information is contained in your GroupWise
system as external domains, post offices, users, resources, and distribution
lists, that information is not sent.
A user, resource, or distribution list from your system is only added to the external GroupWise system if its domain and post office exist in the external system (as an external domain and post office in that system). Because of this, you need to make sure that the Domains and Post Offices options are selected as well as the desired Users, Resources, and Distribution Lists options. After the initial synchronization takes place, the domains and post offices will exist in the external system. You can then choose not to send domain and post office information. However, if you add domains or post offices or change the information for your existing domains and post offices, that information is not sent to the external system until you select Domains and Post Offices again.
Receive from External System
Select the information (Domains, Post Offices, Users, Resources, and Distribution
Lists) you want to receive from the external GroupWise system. As with sending
information, a user, resource, or distribution list is only added to your system
if its domain and post office exist as an external domain and post office in
your system. Therefore, you should make sure to select the Domains and Post
Offices options for at least the initial synchronization.
