GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 5

novdocx (en) 16 April 2010

5.1.1 GroupWise Version Compatibility

If you install GroupWise on multiple platforms, or if you run multiple versions (for example,

GroupWise 6.5 or 7 and GroupWise 8 in the same GroupWise system), refer to the GroupWise

Version Compatibility section in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide (http://www.novell.com/

documentation/gw8) to make sure that the combinations you are using are supported.

For example, you cannot run a GroupWise 8 client against a GroupWise 7 or earlier post office.

Earlier POAs cannot support later GroupWise clients. However, you can run a GroupWise 7 or

earlier client against a GroupWise 8 POA.

Also, you cannot run the GroupWise 7 or earlier snap-ins to ConsoleOne to access GroupWise 8

databases or eDirectory objects. You can use Admin Lockout Settings under Tools > GroupWise

System Operations > System Preferences to specify the required version of the ConsoleOne snap-ins

for each domain as needed.

See also Section 9.1.2, “GroupWise 8 WebAccess Compatibility with Earlier Versions of

WebAccess,” on page 20.

5.1.2 GroupWise Views Compatibility

When you create a GroupWise 8 post office, the GroupWise 8 client view files are installed. If an

earlier GroupWise client tries to access the GroupWise 8 post office, some of the view files required

by earlier GroupWise clients are not present. If possible, update all users in the post office to the

GroupWise 8 client.

If you need to run earlier GroupWise clients on a new GroupWise 8 post office, you must copy the

missing client view files from a post office where they are available. Client view files are stored in

the following directory for all platforms:

post_office\ofviews\win

Be sure to copy only the missing files. Some GroupWise 8 view files are new. Some GroupWise

view files have had the language code

changed to

in GroupWise 8. Some GroupWise 8 view

files have the same names as earlier versions. Do not overwrite GroupWise 8 view files with earlier

versions that have the same names.

5.1.3 WebAccess and Monitor on the Same Web Server

The WebAccess Application, WebPublisher Application, and Monitor Application share a common

library. If you are updating from an earlier GroupWise version and if you run these applications on

the same Web server, you must update all three before any of them can work properly.

5.1.4 SOAP Client Connection Issue during Post Office Updates

For a large post office, a period of time can pass between when the POA starts updating the post

office and when it finishes the update. During this period, programs that connect to POAs by using

SOAP (such as SOAP e-mail clients, GroupWise Mobile Server, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server)

might receive the following error:

53336 - Incompatible Post Office version detected during login

6GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2

novdocx (en) 16 April 2010

This error should disappear when the post office update is complete. You can tell that the update is

complete in ConsoleOne by checking the Database Version field on the Identification page of the

Post Office object. If the update seems complete but the Database Version field has not updated to

8.0, restart the POA.

5.1.5 Additional Installation Issues

Platform-specific installation issues are listed in separate sections below. Installation issues for

individual GroupWise components are located under the heading for each component.

5.2 NetWare/Windows Installation Issues

“NetWare Agent Installation from Windows Vista or Windows 7” on page 6

“Windows Agent Installation Issue” on page 6

“New Default Installation Paths on Windows” on page 6

“Problem Installing from a Windows XP Service Pack 2 Machine” on page 7

“Windows Security Rights for GroupWise Client Installation” on page 7

5.2.1 NetWare Agent Installation from Windows Vista or Windows 7

During Support Pack installation on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine, when you specify the

path to your existing software distribution directory on a NetWare server, you might receive the

following error message:

Path: drive:\grpwise\software - Please specify a valid network path.

This message can occur even when you see that the drive is correctly mapped and correctly

specified. Use a UNC path instead, for example:

\\NetWare_server\volume\grpwise\software

If the UNC path also fails, use one of the following workarounds:

Install the latest Novell Client for Vista from Novell Downloads (http://download.novell.com).

Perform the installation from a Windows XP machine.

5.2.2 Windows Agent Installation Issue

Before you update existing GroupWise agent software, make sure that the GroupWise agents have

been stopped on the Windows server. If the GroupWise agents are running during the installation

process, the agent software is not updated, but the GroupWise Installation program does not notify

you that it was unable to update the agent software.

5.2.3 New Default Installation Paths on Windows

On Windows workstations and servers, the default GroupWise 8 software locations are consolidated

under

c:\Program Files\Novell

into the following subdirectories:

GroupWise

Component Previous Default Location Current Default Location

Client

c:\novell\groupwise c:\Program Files\Novell\GroupWise

GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 7

novdocx (en) 16 April 2010

If you update existing software with GroupWise 8 software, the default location is the existing

location. If you install GroupWise 8 software on a new machine, the default location is as listed

above. In either case, you can override the default and specify a different location.

5.2.4 Problem Installing from a Windows XP Service Pack 2 Machine

When you install any GroupWise agent (Post Office Agent, Message Transfer Agent, Internet

Agent, WebAccess Agent, Monitor Agent) to a NetWare server from a Windows XP machine where

Service Pack 2 has been installed, you must have the Novell Client 4.90 SP2 or later installed on the

Windows machine. If you have an earlier Novell Client, the GroupWise Installation program claims

that it cannot find some of the directories to which you want to install software.

5.2.5 Windows Security Rights for GroupWise Client Installation

If the GroupWise Windows client is originally installed by the Windows Administrator user, the

Administrator user must also perform software updates. When it is installed by the Administrator,

the GroupWise client software cannot be updated by a regular user or a Windows Power User.

5.3 Linux Installation Issues

5.3.1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Issues

eDirectory 8.8.5 is supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11. Earlier versions are

not supported.

SLES 11 does not include Tomcat, so it is included with the GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2

software. The GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 Installation program detects SLES 11, installs

Tomcat, and configures it for use with GroupWise.

5.3.2 Domain Services for Windows Issues

Starting with GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1, GroupWise is supported in a Domain Services for

Windows (DSfW) environment. However, workarounds are required for two specific situations:

The GroupWise Installation program cannot add GroupWise accounts to User objects if the

User objects are located in a DSfW partition. Use ConsoleOne to create GroupWise accounts

for such users after you install the GroupWise software.

The GroupWise Installation program can create all GroupWise objects in a DSfW partition

except for the WebAccess Application object (named GroupWiseWebAccess). Use

ConsoleOne to create the WebAccess Application object, then run the Installation program to

install and configure the WebAccess Application software.

5.3.3 GroupWise Installation to a Xen Guest on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

When you install GroupWise on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 to a Xen guest, you

might receive the following error message:

The current window is not large enough to run install. Please resize the window

and run install again.

At present, the SLES 10 Xen console window does not report its dimensions properly. To work

around this:

1Make sure that SSH is enabled on the Xen guest.

2Open an X terminal window on the SLES 10 Xen host, using the following command:

ssh -X root@guest_ip_address

3Run the GroupWise Installation program from the Xen host.

5.3.4 Problem Copying the Monitor Files to the Software Distribution Directory

On SLES 10 SP2, the Installation program occasionally cannot copy the Monitor software files to

the software distribution directory. This appears to be a timing issue. Try again using the Installation

program, or manually copy the Monitor files to the software distribution directory.

5.3.5 Upgrading from an Incomplete Software Distribution Directory

All GroupWise components on a server must be updated at the same time. Therefore, if you are

installing GroupWise 8 from a software distribution directory that does not contain RPMs for all the

components installed on the server, you receive the following error:

Install failed for an unknown reason (7)

The GroupWise 8 component cannot be updated because its RPM is not present in the software

distribution directory. You can use the GroupWise 8 for Linux downloaded image to update the

server, then use Install Products > GroupWise Administration > Configure Administration in the

GroupWise Installation program to create a complete software distribution directory.

“Identity Manager Configuration Issue” on page 10

“Server-Based Anti-Virus Software” on page 10

6.1.1 Obsolete Admin-Defined Fields

In GroupWise 8, the following eDirectory fields have been added to the list of default fields that are

available in the GroupWise Address Book:

Street Address

PO Box

City

State or Province

Zip Code

Locality/Mailstop

Mobile Phone

Pager Number

Home Phone

Other Phone

When a domain is converted to GroupWise 8, if you have created any admin-defined fields that

correspond to these new default fields, the values are transferred from the admin-defined fields to

the new fields. In ConsoleOne, you can use Cleanup under Tools > System Operations > Admin-

Defined Fields to delete any admin-defined fields you have created that correspond to the new

default fields.

6.1.2 Server Names

When filling in a UNC Path field in ConsoleOne, you must specify the server name. You cannot use

an IP address or DNS hostname.

6.1.3 Identity Manager Version Compatibility

Do not run a DirXML or Identity Manager (IDM) driver earlier than version 3.5.2 against a

GroupWise 8 system. Older drivers are not compatible. You can download the latest version of the

GroupWise IDM driver from Novell Downloads (http://download.novell.com).

For more information, see TID 7002222: “How is the GroupWise 8 Driver Configured for Identity

Manager?” in the Novell Support Knowledgebase (http://www.novell.com/support).

10 GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2

novdocx (en) 16 April 2010

6.1.4 Identity Manager Configuration Issue

The Identity Manager Accessory Portlet Reference Guide provides information for configuring

GroupWise portlets. In particular, it instructs you to edit lines in the

webacc.cfg

file to appear as

follows:

Security.UseClientIP.enable=false

Security.UseClientCookie.enable=false

It is preferable to make these changes in ConsoleOne, rather than in the

webacc.cfg

file. The Use

client IP in security sessions setting and the Use Cookies settings default to selected (true) in

ConsoleOne. If you do not deselect them in ConsoleOne, the “true” settings are written to the

webacc.cfg

file, overwriting your manual changes to that file. If this happens, the WebAccess

client prompts for login multiple times.

1In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object.

2Right-click the GroupWiseWebAccess object, then click Properties.

3Click Application > Security.

4Deselect Use client IP in securing sessions.

5Deselect the check boxes in the Use Cookies column.

6Click OK.

6.1.5 Server-Based Anti-Virus Software

If you run server-based anti-virus software, you should configure it so that it does not scan

GroupWise directory structures such as domains and post offices, where file locking conflicts can

create problems for the GroupWise agents. If you need virus scanning on GroupWise data, check the

GroupWise Partner Products page (http://www.novell.com/partnerguide/section/468.html) for

compatible products.
