Moving users between groupwise systems.

[burningchr0me]

Hello all,

I have two groupwise systems (one is 7.0.3 and the other is 7.0.2), and I've done what is outlined to move the users between them. I created the external entities, merged the systems, and all that jazz. When I move a user, it looks like it tries to start right away. The old and new POA both show the request, here's a snippet from the log file on the new POA:

12:15:43 072 (Move.) Receiving Inventory List: <user> (n4l) 
12:15:43 072 (Move.) Inventory List Received (303): <user> (n4l) 
12:15:43 072 (Move.) Queue First Deferred Retry Message: <user> (n4l) 
12:15:54 086 (Move.) Requesting User Data: <user> (n4l) 
12:15:54 086 (Move.) Queue Live Deferred Retry Message (no server available): <user> (n4l)

Then I keep getting this:

12:46:54 086 (Move.) Retrying user data request: tholl (2by) 
12:46:54 086 (Move.) Re-requesting User Data (167): tholl (2by) 
12:46:55 086 (Move.) Queue Live Deferred Retry Message (no server available): tholl (2by)

Eventually, it will start working and transferring things, but it usually takes about an hour or two. It seems that they're communicating fine, because if I go into the User Move Status utility and hit "Pending Items -> Request", it pops back a list of things that need moved.
What is the cause for such a long delay? I've even gone in and adjusted up the settings on the poa according to the "if you're moving users after hours" tidbits, but still get the same results.
