GroupWise Import/Export Tool
GWIMPEXP.EXE is a "universal" import / export tool for
GroupWise. It uses the GroupWise Object API to exchange data between
GroupWise and text files. Address book and calendar data are supported.
Uses
GWIMPEXP.EXE can be used to import data from another system into
GroupWise. If the other product supports a text file export, you
can configure GWIMPEXP.EXE for the format of the file, choose the
file, and import the data.
GWIMPEXP.EXE can also be used to export data from GroupWise to
a text file. This can be useful when trying to copy GroupWise data
into a personal digital assistant, Timex Datalink watch, etc. for
which there is no synchronization software available. As long as
the other program or device can import data from a text file, you
can use GWIMPEXP.EXE to get the data from GroupWise.
Usage
GWIMPEXP.EXE should be run on a machine that has 32 bit GroupWise
client running in a 32 bit Windows environment and has access to
the file(s) that was exported from the other data source.
When you first start GWIMPEXP.EXE, make sure the settings for date
mask, destination, delimiters, and filter are correct before selecting
the input file. delimiters are the most important to get right since
they are used when reading in the import file to present the field
list.
Next, select the file to import.
The field list should poputate based on the first line of data
in the file.
Re-arrange the fields to match the GroupWise item type fields with
the import file fields.
When you are satisfied with the setup, click the Import button
to start the import running.
If you'd like to see what the export part of the product looks
like, click on the export tab and have a look. The export button
is disabled in the demo version but the rest of the screen is functional.
License
Licensing has been removed from the product to allow unlimited use
by GroupWise customers.
