Click GroupWise > Post Offices. Check the properties of each Post Office object to make sure that the post office directory for each post office exists.
Page 24
Possible Cause: A directory required for the normal flow of GroupWise messages could be missing. Action: See “Message Transfer/Storage Directories” in “Directory Structure Diagrams” in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure. Verify the existence, ownership, and rights of the directories involved with message flow (domain, post office, and MTA local directory).
Page 25
Possible Cause: An attempt to lock a file failed. Action: Verify that the file is not currently locked by another process that has terminated. Possible Cause: You cannot open the specified file because another user might have the file open. Action: Ask the other user to close the file.

Action: Configure TCP/IP on the server correctly. If this error occurs on a NetWare server, make sure you have the latest version of the TCPIP NLM. For technical services and file updates, see Novell Support (http://support.novell.com). Action: Reboot the server.
Page 29
Action: Exit and restart GroupWise when the machine is back up. 8555 Port in use Source: GroupWise engine; general communication. Explanation: Port in use.

The default TCP port used by the POA (1667) is in use by another program.
Page 30
8567 Data not in BCEF format Source: GroupWise engine; general communication. Explanation: A packet of information received by an agent was not in the expected format. Possible Cause: The packet was damaged somewhere between the source and the destination of the data.
8571 SOAP port already in use Source: GroupWise engine; general communication. Explanation: The SOAP port used by the POA to communicate with SOAP clients is already in use by another program on the server.

numeric format (172.16.5.18), rather than as a host name that requires resolution, when setting the /ipa switch. Action: When using direct mode rather than client/server, the GroupWise client still requires a valid winsock.dll to be available on the search path. Make sure a current, valid winsock.dll file is available on the workstation where the problem is occurring.
Page 35
Possible Cause: If this error occurs from the POA, the server where the POA runs might not have the most current version of TCP/IP. Action: Install the latest TCP/IP. For technical services and file updates, see Novell Support (http://support.novell.com). 8912 Cannot read on connection; timed out Source: GroupWise engine;...
Page 36
Possible Cause: A client or server machine has crashed, or the process was forced to close without shutting down. The machine might have been exited while connections were active. Action: Restart the GroupWise client when the machine is back up. Possible Cause: If this error appears in the Message Transfer Status box of the POA, the MTA to which it is transferring messages might be restarting.
Page 37
8917 TCP/IP name lookup failed Source: GroupWise engine; TCP/IP communication. Explanation: A GroupWise agent or client cannot ping the specified IP address. Possible Cause: The agent or client was passed an invalid IP address. Action: Ping the IP address manually to see if it responds. If it does not respond, correct the problem with the server associated with that IP address.
Page 38
Explanation: You have configured an agent for SSL, but the agent cannot locate the SSL certificate.

Explanation: A GroupWise agent failed to establish an SSL connection because insufficient memory is available for creating the connection.
Page 40
Possible Cause: Both servers might have identical certificate files. Action: Obtain a new certificate file for one of the servers. See “Server Certificates and Encryption” in “Security Administration” in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide. 8922 SSL connect failure Source: GroupWise engine; TCP/IP communication. Explanation: A GroupWise agent cannot establish an SSL connection because the other server failed to connect.
Page 41
Explanation: An agent that is configured for TCP/IP attempted to contact another agent and the connection was refused. Possible Cause: The agent is not communicating on the right TCP port number. Action: Determine the configuration of the target agent and make sure the initiating agent is using the correct port number.
Action: Make sure that all routers are running. 2.6 8Bxx Errors “8B02 Unexpected error” on page 42 8B02 Unexpected error Source: GroupWise engine; named memory. Action: See “8xxx Unexpected error” on page 2.7 8Cxx Errors “8C04 Unexpected error” on page 42 “8C09 Unexpected error”...
