Groupwise in SUSE desktop shop

customer is considering groupwise, but they run SUSE desktops, and Novell has stopped releasing clients for Linux.
Also GW does not support web browser caching feature, so accessing via web browser is out of question.
Any suggestion/recommendation would be highly appreciated.

WebAccess wont be a *primary* method unless caching is supported, because Post Office can't keep emails of 5 GB for every user, nor archiving is possible.

Yes IMAP could be a possible option.

Groupwise 8.02 client crashes in lion

I have recently migrated files and settings from a macbook snow leopard to a macbook air lion.
I have installed Groupwise client on the new machine. It loads fine but crashes repeatedly when I try to open a mail item. It connects to the internet and I can create and send mail just cannot physically open mail.
I have deleted any and all com.novell files I could find in the System folder/Home folder Library etc. I have tried starting up in Safe Mode but no luck.
BUT I can run Groupwise with no problems on the original macbook with the same settings AS WELL AS on the new machine under another user account.
Any ideas on what I can do to repair whatever is wrong with my admin user account?
Thanks very much!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You have to start there...as per this KB, there is no DTM version that is compatible with that GroupWise version. Indeed, why it worked before (8.1) is a mystery...it should never have.
Good luck!

Does anyone know of a way to put a link to a document in GroupWise on the desktop?
I would like to use Zenworks to launch a desktop icon to do that.

Oracle Streams Between Desktop and Server

Hi.
I have a Streams environment defined between a Suse Desktop and a Suse Server.
Characteristics:
Desktop Oracle:
- compatible = 10.2.0.1.0
- streams_pool_size = 100m
- job_queue_processes = 2
- global_names = true
Server Oracle:
- compatible = 10.2.0.3.0
- streams_pool_size = 112m
- job_queue_processes = 10
- global_names = true
After I execute all necessary steps to define Streams in this environment, I execute the following queries and the results is OK: ENABLED, CAPTURING CHANGES, etc.
select capture_name,status from dba_capture;
select capture_name,state from v$streams_capture;
select status,error_message from dba_propagation;
But now appear the problem: NOTHING is replicating. I do changes in tables of the Source DB e nothing happen in tables of Destination DB.
Please, how to discover or debug what are happening ?
Thanks

Hi.
After some time, now I have the ERROR_MESSAGE with blacks in the DBA_PROPAGATION. I have these results:
select capture_name,status from dba_capture; => CAPTURE_NAME ENABLED
select capture_name,state from v$streams_capture; => CAPTURE_NAME CAPTURING CHANGES
select status,error_message from dba_propagation; => ENABLED (null)
The DBLINK between SOURCE and DESTINATION DBs is OK.
But again, NOTHING is replicating.
Thanks.

Suddenly unable to sync groupwise 7 calendar to 9630

Device info

Apps and free space
File free   117269346
Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
Unable to sync Groupwise calendar with BB. Normally do this with cable and Desktop Manager. Last successful sync 03/04 - no problems. Tech support unsuccessful in solving. Using Groupwise 7.0; Desktop Manager 5.0.
When I try to sync, message says processing.Action engine loading configuration w/ a progress bar....then synchronization (One moment please) with a progress bar with no activity and then it returns to the basic synchronization screen. I do not receive any error message.
Numerous battery pulls. Delete and reconfigure sync (one way sync to device) multiple times. No apps loaded in months. No changes in Groupwise set up at work. (Colleague using BB with same groupwise system has no problems synching.) No updates to any apps on BB in months.
Please help. Many thanks in advance.
Kieley

My apologies for being unclear. This is what the log looked like before I made the recommended changes (see below). I made the changes as instructed in Task 2 of KB01451 and saved. I performed Task 4. The operation ran the same way as I described in the initial email: the synchronization process started, and then returned to the sync page without completing or giving any error message. I then completed Task 5 (reconfigure), and changed the values back as instructed.    I tried to sync the calendar again and the process aborted again, as described above. I pasted each of the logs following each of the tasks below. Was I supposed to receive another type of log? I don't understand. The BB still does not show existing calendar appointments.
Thank you so much for your assistance.

Sync both calendars on handheld to Groupwise Calendar

On my handheld blackberry, I have a Desktop calendar and a calendar with my email address that corresponds to my Groupwise Calendar.
I am using 4.7 Desktop Software and a wired sync. The Groupwise Calendar syncs just fine.
However, the handheld Desktop calendar does not sync at all.
When I enter an item on the handheld it automatically is added to the desktop calendar. There were also about 200 items that were transfered from an old phone onto the desktop calendar.
I need to know how to move the desktop calendar items into the groupwise calendar. Or how to sync the desktop calendar items into groupwise via the desktop software.
Thanks for any assistance or information that you can provide.
Jeff

BTW this issue is on a pearl phone. I've noticed that if you view the Groupwise email calendar and then create an even it goes to that calendar. If I'm viewing all calendars, it automatically goes to the Desktop Calendar. If I only use the groupwise calendar and do not view the desktop calendar I should be fine. The problem is with the 250 events already in the desktop calendar that I can't seem to move to the groupwise calendar.
I have blackberry curve that hooks up to groupwise via the enterprise activation. It gives me the option on any event to choose "send using" and I can change it from the desktop calendar to my groupwise email calendar. Is this feature there because I'm using the enterprise solution with it or is the curve software different?

PO is not getting released from SRM

Dear Experts,
I am configuring SRM-SUS Scenario on SRM 7.0. I have set up all SRM, XI and SUS cofiguration.
(SRM - SHDCLNT901, XI - XHDCLNT500, SUS- SHDCLNT951)
Shopping Cart and PO is creating fine but PO is not tranferring from SRM to SUS.
when i checked SXMB_MONI in SRM, there is no messeges showing there. It means PO is not getting released from SRM.
Kindly let me know is there any t-code for enable communication between SRM and SUS?
I have correctly configured XI and also transferred vendors from SRM to SUS through SupplierPortalTradingPartner_CreateOrChange_Out messege type but
PurchaseOrderRequest_Out for PO transfer is not getting triggered in sxmb_moni in SRM.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pawan Keshwani

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have configured Application Control Workflow correctly ( I am using Workflow without approvals for PO (BUS2201))

I am configured ESOA Architecture in XI for SRM-SUS , and my root issue is " I am not able to generate XML messeges in SRM".
Not getting any messege in SXMB_MONI in SRM.

Adding People to an Organization

In the address book I can create a new "Organization". However, when I click the "People" tab (while creating or editing the organization) I see no way to add people/contacts to the organization.

Well, that does seem to work. Seems like a strange design though. Seems like you would create the organization and then have an "Add" button on the organization's "People" tab, similar to how you add people to a "group".
I also noticed that if you edit a person, go to "Advanced", and type something in the "Organization" field (which is how I am interpreting your suggestion), it will actually create that organization if it doesn't already exist. So, make a slight typo when adding an organization name to an existing person and you create a 2nd organization...
Again, seems like a very strange design. But THANK YOU for your reply! At least I have a way to make it work now.

In my experience, it happens from the other direction. I.e., if you edit people
and put the organization name in the organization field, they will show up in
the organization object.

CC = itunes for Designers... No Thanks!

CC, bad idea Adobe.
Adobe's opening gambit starts with flattery, for us designers.... "At Adobe, we believe our customers are some of the most influential people in the world."
You're right, we're also the most product savvy and design conscious consumers in the world... which is why we will never buy into a product as controlling and capitalist as CC.
CC is for our new 'mobile world'... what, so we can suckle on the cloud from our mobile devices? (A cloud that is potentially vunerable to hackers and DDoS attacks).
'Mobile devices' are platforms for CONSUMPTION NOT CREATION. You cannot design on a tablet or a phone! (even if the marketing vid does show some hipster who works from a coffee shop creating a colour swatch on his iphone) Just look at the tablet market.. itunes, and Windows8... computers in a straight jackets. Access to a built in shop, and limited functionality for file manipulation / creation.
The thing is.. it is far too easy to see already, how CC will become just another platform for consumption, A BIG SHOP ON YOUR DESKTOP.
CC is starting to look alot like itunes for creatives. It has the scope for a font shop, filter shop, a stock image/graphic shop and a 'Prosite Portfolio' to warm you into their own brand of online jobs market.
"Preview fonts in layout before you commit"... Sounds a lot like an IN APP PURCHASE TO ME!
I noticed noone else had commented on the 'consumerist shop platform' aspect' of CC, so there it is. The high price, requirement for an internet connection once a month, the security issues, the practicality of managing subscriptions have already been well covered... by the plethora of users who are either vowing to jump ship or roll with CS6 until Adobe does a U-turn.
Going by what I have read on the forums already... Adobe, you're flogging a dead horse, and it'll never work because that's what we do for a living!
Roll it in glitter all you want, CC is just another datacapturing, desktop shop with inapp purchases. I wouldn't be surprised if CC came with unlockable 'achievements'.
**Online Rant Achievement Unlocked**
+ 5000 CCredits

I'm no lawyer but, it looks like CC is geared up for all sorts of user datacapture and in app advertising. Especially when you blur the line between what is online, what is an app and how these services and tools interact in a cloud platform like CC. I sit infront of CS for 8 hours a day. Call me paranoid, or a conspiracist but the idea of the professional tool I use everyday turning into an itunes really makes we want to pull the plug and install Corel Draw and Quark.

Proxy for Multi User calendar shows user's folder tree

By giving the View proxy right to other users, so that they can utilize the Multi User calendar, this apparently also gives the user you've assigned that right to the ability to see the folder tree of all users that have given the View right to the user. In other words, by clicking on the Proxy icon at the top of your folder tree, and picking the user who gave you read rights to their appointments, you can see all their folders. Granted, you will only be able to see appointments within those folders. But, some users may assign descriptive folder names they might otherwise not want to be visible to others. Is there some way to hide the folder view, while still proxying the view right to appointments?
Thanks

Ok, Thanks - I'm satisfied as long as that's by design.

Silent installation fails registering gwab1.ocx file on W7

Silent installation is failing for GroupWise Windows Client 8.0.3 HP2 and HP3 on Windows 7 Sp1.
Problem is very similiar to KB7005755
Support | Silent installation fails registering gwab1.ocx file on Windows 7.

I tried the following:
-Rename WMS.exe to WMS.exe.old to make sure it will not get installed.
-Create an application for CDO and put that application as a pre requisite for Groupwise.
In my task sequence, before groupwise is being installed, the CDO component will get installed first.
In my latest test, the installation of groupwise failed with the same error message then before.
For the installation step, I am using this command line: "WIN32\setup.exe" /s /V"/qn /le C:\Groupwise.log"
The task sequence will download the files into is cache then start the install appending the path to the exe file to the command line. All the files are present in the cache folder.
The VCRedist 2005 is installed prior to the installation by another software but I did made some test that let Groupwise installed is own VCRedist. Still an error message.
The exact error message is: Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\Groupwise\gwab1.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895. Contact your support personnel.
I am deploying Groupwise during a task sequence on Windows 7 SP1 with IE9 and .Net 4.0 installed with some update. At the moment groupwise is installed as the second software.
The version being installed is gw8.0.3HP3_client_win_multi.
When installing the previous version, using the same exact task sequence, there is no error and the installation is done.
I did validate that the Windows NT Messaging was not installed.
If I can provide any othe information please let me know.

Calendar Reminder Time Way Off - Set to 500, 600, or 700 minutes

I am syncing my calendar with my GroupWise calendar through the Desktop manager software and the usb connection. I totally wiped my curve back to factory defaults and everytime I sync my calendar the reminder time is always at 500 minutes or longer. I have the default reminder set to 5 minutes in the general optins. I want to be reminded 5 minutes before the appointment, not 500 or 600 or 700. I get reminders for appointments hours before they are going to happen. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Please help. It is very annoying. Thanks.

I too am having this problem and it is a major one. The notifications are completly off by more than 500+ minutes. The reminder is supposed to be 10 minutes prior to the meeting.
I have pulled battery, problem is still here.
I have wiped the unit clean, problem is still here.
I checked the time zone, it is correct and the problem is still here.
I have had my IT people look at it, they can not figure it out and the problem is still here.
Please note I sync with Groupwise 8 using Desktop Manager version 5 and sync w/USB. Also, it is important to note that I have tried older versions on GW and DM but the problem remains. Help....

Easy way to control IMAP access?

Is there an easier way to control which users have IMAP access though a GWIA
than by editing the class of service?
What would be nice is have a eDir group which would define the users that
can have access.
By default I have it set class of service that enables IMAP access for
everyone however I finding that more users are passing along the server
addresses and adding their mobile device to send/retrieve email which is
working but I would prefer some control over who and who doesn't have access
without cutting everyone off and adding them to the properties of the GWIA
agent.

You can have a GW distribution list that controls it though. I do that at a
number of customer sites . . . .

Danita, so if I understand this correctly, a way to control IMAP access (for example, for just users that go through a Notifylink or BES server) would be to:
1.Disable IMAP on the GWIA default class of service
2.Create a Groupwise distribution list that includes the person(s) you want to use IMAP
3.Create a second class of service on the GWIA with SMTP disabled and IMAP enabled and include the distribution group created in the previous step.
4.Stop and restart the GWIA
Is it really that simple?

Calendar reminder time

I added a todo item in my calendar on my e71 with a date and a reminder at 12:15.
When I synced up to ovi.com, an item was created on the correct date, with the correct time, but it had a reminder time of 20.52 on the previous day!!!!
Is this a bug or what? The time zones are the same on my phone and on ovi.com, so it's not that....
What's going on?
Thanks,
Ed.
