Can't see file in new storage library

[Mandy Hancock]

All libraries are on the POA server, which is running out of disk space.
TID 10025524 says that I can create a new library on a different server and
do the mass document operation to move the documents to the new library on
the new server. Moving the documents seemed to work fine. On a GroupWise
search, I can see the documents are located in the new library but I can not
see any files in the folder on the new server where I have set up as the new
storage area. I have only done this will a small test group and naturally
want to be assured of what will happen if I try to do the mass doc move to
the new library's storage area before I do a large amount.

I only found one bit of information that said they docs do not actually move
until they are opened so I opened all of them but still do not see them on
the new storage area. What am I missing?

Right click on a document reference for a document in the new
library - choose properites. Go to the activity log - if there is
no "filename" column, right click in the column headings and add it.

Where does this show the actual document location?

Thanks very much for responding! We are still running low on space and
really need to be able to accomplish this. It says the files are still
located on the mail server \po\gwdms\lib001e\doc\fdef\3fd05f54.000

I changed the "Remote Connection(s)" user id and password lines in the POA
file. I left the brackets off, but I am not sure if leaving them off was
the correct syntax. I restarted the POA but the Library files are still not
being saved on the remote server's storage area. Files are still showing up
on the mail server.

; Remote Connection(s).

; The user id and password for remote file server(s).

/user-[user ID]

/password-[password]

Mandy,

Yes, leaving the brackets off is correct - do you see any errors on the
server console when you load the POA - if it could not authenticate to
the other server you would probably see something. Do you see the user
in the POA startup file under Connections in Monitor on the remote
server?

Yes the POA seems to have logged in yesturday evening when the change was
made. I just imported new docs to the library but they still show being
stored on the Mail server. Also, why do you not recommend storing them on a
differnt server from the POA?

I would go into NetWare Administrator and double/triple check that the storage
location does NOT have a directory longer than 8 characters. I know you said
you looked, but this is the primary reason for a storage location to not be
used.

If you have the documents on a server other than the POA, the POA has to pull
every document across the wire to index it - gets ugly.

[Mandy Hancock]

At what level do I need to be concerned with this? Starting at the
Main-Tree, OU, Volume or folder?

This is what I have:

Main-Tree Okanogan-County

Organization Unit SH

Volume SH_APP

Folder testlib

All other than the Main-Tree seem to meet the criteria.

But the other gotcha that we were leading up to is also don't put any
DMS components straight off the root of a volume - if you use Filer to
move the directory testlib underneath another one, say gwdms, so the
full path is Server/SH_APP:\gwdms\testlib, things may start working
better. Obviously also change the paths in NWadmin to point to the
relocated library storage area.
