Documentation The Analyze/Fix Databases action of the GroupWise
To check and optionally repair your mailbox:
From the Action drop-down list, select Analyze/Fix Databases.
Select from the following Analyze/Fix Databases
options as needed:
Structure
The structure check verifies the structural integrity of the mailbox
and reports the amount of space that could be recovered if the mailbox
is rebuilt.
Index Check
If you select Structure, you can also select Index Check. You should
perform an index check if you try to open a message and get a read error,
or if someone sends you a message that does not appear in your mailbox,
even though the sender sees a Delivered status for the message. Depending
on the size of your mailbox, an index check can be time-consuming.
Contents
A contents check verifies references to other items. For example, in
your user database, a contents check verifies that all messages listed
in your mailbox actually exist in your message database. In your message
database, a contents check verifies that all attachments to messages in
your mailbox actually exist in the attachment directories. A contents
check also makes sure that your rules, distribution lists, and personal
groups are valid.
Collect Statistics
If you select Contents, you can also collect statistics during the
contents check. The statistics include the number of messages and appointments
in your mailbox, the amount of space consumed by your mailbox, and so
on.
Attachment File Check
The attachment file check verifies the file structure of attachments
as well as messages. Checking file attachments can substantially increase
the time required to check your mailbox.
Select Fix Problems to repair your mailbox.
If you deselect Fix Problems, problems with your mailbox are reported
but not fixed.
On the Databases tab, select one or more databases
to analyze and optionally fix.
For information about the databases, see About
Your GroupWise Mailbox.
On the Logging tab, the Log File field shows that,
by default, a file named gwchk32.log is created in the GroupWise Windows
client installation directory.
You can specify a different filename and location. You can also select
Verbose Logging to record more detailed information during the analyze/fix
process.
Click Run to start the Analyze/Fix Databases option.
A progress log displays during the analyze/fix process.
You can click Stop at any time to stop the analyze/fix process. An
error code is displayed but it simply indicates that the process has been
stopped.
You can click Statistics at any time during the analyze/fix process
to add interim statistical information to the log, such as how many problems
have been identified and fixed so far in the process.
Click Close, then click OK when the analyze/fix process is complete.
Click Close to return to your GroupWise mailbox.
