Problem

Since the data directory (containing the mailbox and other supporting files) can get very large, it may be necessary to place it on a different filesystem than the Gateway installation. What is the correct way to do this?

Resolution

Stop Gateway, then edit the following files in the GWHOME/run_time/etc directory:

pelsetup.ini

uconfdict1.ini

In both of those, change the values of the "database" and "database_mirror" variables to the new location. Then run peluconf rebuild -f, source the profile again (so that the new values are picked up), and restart Gateway.

Note: It is not recommended to use this method to place the data directory on shared storage. If you need to do so, contact Axway Global Support for directions.
