Moving a groupwise 7.x GWDOMAIN folder

When I migrated our Groupwise server to a new machine, I decided to change around some of the volumes.

In this example, I moved GWDOMAIN from BORDER\SYS:\ to BORDER\Groupwise:\

First I shut down all groupwise agents/NLMs on the server. Then I made the config changes and brought groupwise up like normal.

Here are all of the configurations I had to change to make the move work:

gwia.cfg
from
/Home-\\border\sys\gwdomain\wpgate\GWIA
to
/Home-\\border\groupwise\gwdomain\wpgate\GWIA

domain.mta
from
/home-\\BORDER\sys\gwdomain
to
/home-\\BORDER\groupwise\gwdomain

webac70a.waa
from
/ph=\\Border\sys\GWDOMAIN\WPGATE\WEBAC70A
to
/ph=\\Border\groupwise\GWDOMAIN\WPGATE\WEBAC70A


gmtacfg.ini
from
BackLink=\\BORDER\sys\gwdomain\GWAVA\config
to
BackLink=\\BORDER\groupwise\gwdomain\GWAVA\config

ConsoleOne
GWIA-
"Server Directories" Tab had to be modified

Domain Object Properties- UNC Path:
from
\\BORDER\sys\gwdomain
to
\\BORDER\groupwise\gwdomain

GWAVA 3.x:
edit thie file: gwdomain/gwava/config/gmtacfg.ini
The following lines had to be modified:
