3. Overview
Following are the prerequisites to successfully back up data:
• GWTSA.NLM
When GWTSA.NLM runs:
o It auto-loads SMDR.NLM (described below).
o It converts databases and files to System Independent Data Format (SIDF)
for third-party backup.
o It places a time stamp on user databases when they are backed up. This
allows messages to be purged using Smart Purge.
GWTSA.NLM must run where the GroupWise data resides.
• SMDR.NLM.
