What is the difference between Omni Messaging utilities and Riva policy modules?
Omni messaging utilities are based on pre-GroupWise 6.5 non-trusted application architecture. They require that individual end users run the utility and that the GroupWise client be installed on the PC where the Omni utility is run from. This prevents the non-Riva utilities from being used as a centralized administrative tool or run as a service. Riva uses the GroupWise Trusted Key API technology which enables administrators to use eDirectory or GroupWise as the source and destination objects and to use policy templates to define the information that will be pushed to the destinations. Riva is not an “end-user” application. In the future, all stand-alone Omni Messaging tools will be integrated into Riva after which time the respective stand-alone Omni Messaging Tool will be discontinued.
