Re-create User Database on a User Workstation

For information about the GroupWise® databases that may be created on user workstations, see About GroupWise Databases.

The Re-create User Database action creates an empty user database and populates it with messages that have been sent to or from this user and that still reside in the message databases on the user workstation. Some information may be lost, such as the user's folder assignments. You should not select this action for regular maintenance. It is designed for severe problems, such as recovering a user database that has been inadvertently deleted (assuming you have no backup copy).

To re-create a user database:

  1. In the Database Type box, select Remote/Caching or Archive.

  2. Browse to and select the directory where the database is located.

  3. From the Action menu, select Re-create User Database.

  4. Use the following tab options as needed:

    Databases

    Logging

  5. Click Run to perform the Re-create User Database action for the local workstation database.

If you perform this action frequently, you can save your selected options and retrieve them the next time you perform this action. You can also create a batch file to run this action for you. For more information, see About GroupWise Check.
