Latest outlook connector

I have installed the latest oracle connector (9042) one a standard Windows 2000sp4/Outlook 2003(no other office installs) install. The machine has nothing else installed. I open outlook and my inbox contains only calendar schedual things plus the "welcome to outlook" email. However looking at this email account in Netscape I have several hundred normal emails which are not displayed. When I originally opened outlook I saw a load of blank emails for a few seconds then they dissapeared (they had the name NONE but that was all). If I load the previous connector I don't have this issue at all.
I get all my sub folders from the inbox. I click one it takes about 30 seconds to open and is full of entries also called NONE. I click the NONE's and see the hourglass (waiting) flash for a second but nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I click inbox again and 45 seconds later it opens only displaying the calendar sceduals and "outlook 2003 team" welcome message again.
The sub inbox folders show how many messages are in them (or is it new messages) until I click them. Then I get the NONES and the counter showing how many there where dissapears.
So it seems the connector knows there is email there, spends time trying to display them? and returns a bunch of empty NONE entries?
One folder actually showed its only email! I click it and see "Retreving message (0%)..." at the bottom of the screen (Outlook). At this point Outlook seems to lock up.
The calendar things seem to work fine. Though it has the same delay when switching to from it to from email.
The previous connector works pretty well. Certainly it does not have these issue (it shows email as expected and is fast enough).
Any ideas? Why would the older connector be fine and the newer one be unusable speed and presentation wise? I'll do some more testing and post anything that might help others. Hopefully I'll get our Oracle contacts involved soon also.

I have been told from our internal side that the newest connector supports Outlook 2003 and Calendar Server 5.4 but not the both of them together.
A TAR has been logged. This makes sense to me though so far enough. Anyone heres an update or patch etc I'd like to know. If I get an update I'll post it.

Outlook connector - sending mail to alias'es doesn't work ...

Hi,
We are using JES5 with the latest outlook connector (7.2.402.1)
The user accounts have mailalternateaddress entries that consist of their initials. ([email protected])
the uid is the same as their initials (ie uid=hda)
the main 'mail' attribute is made of firstname.lastname, ie '[email protected]'
In the UWC we are able to type 'hda' in the to: field or 'heidi.alloos', when we click 'send' the @domain.com is added and both mails arrive.
In the outlook connector, I need the same feature but there, i am only able to use heidi.alloos<enter>
When I try to type 'hda' , outlook says 'microsoft office outlook does not recognize 'hda', probably because this entry is - by default - nowheree to be found in the global address list
Is there a way to obtain the same result in outlook, possibly by tweaking some of the entries in the LDAP tab in the outlook connector deployment tool ? When I go to the addressbook in outlook, and perform a find based on the alias field, it does find the user, so somehow outlook should be able to find it rightaway, yes ?
kind regards,
Tom.

Outlook Connector w/Windows 7 64-bit

Does anybody know if the (Oracle) Outlook Connector 7.3 is compatible with Outlook running on Windows 64-bit?
I have a Windows 7 64-bit system and both the installer for Outlook Connector, as well as a resultant installer I've made using it, don't appear to work very well on 64-bit Windows systems.
I'm using the latest version in patch 139162-09, August 04 2010.
Struggling to understand how this could be the case given the increasing popularity of 64-bit Windows, but I thought I'd ask just in case it's not supported.
Many thanks

Hello,
Yes, it's working with office 2007 and the last OC release.
There is some troubles with office 2003.

This is likely to depend on the version of the OC you have. The released one isn't supposed to work with Outlook 2003. Please contact Tech Support for the latest version and help.

Secure LDAP lookup with 2005Q4 Outlook Connector 7 not working

Hello all,
I have Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server/5.2_Patch_4 B2005.230.0041 (64-bit) installed and the latest 2005Q4 Calendar, Messaging and UWC Server. When testing the Outlook Connector, I can get the 2005Q1 version 7 connector to work just fine with all features. I uninstalled the 2005Q1 connector and installed the 2005Q4 connector into a new profile and everyting works expect if I try to make the LDAP lookups secure for the global address list. Changing the port to 636 for ldap causes Outlook to timeout on the lookup. I checked the directory server logs and noticed that the secure connection is being made without errors, but after a minute an ABANDON operation takes place on the secure connection and Outlook gives up. When using port 389 for lookups, the Connector has no issues.

Jay,
I think I found the fix. I upgraded the 2005Q1 -> 2005Q4 Sun Java Connectory Deployment Tool. After I uninstalled the deployment tool and then reinstalled the 2005Q4 I was able to create and .exe and create an Outlook profile that did not have any LDAP over SSL problems.

Non-expiring version of outlook connector

Non-expiring version of outlook connector
Where does one get the non-expiring version of outlook connector? When we contacted Oracle about client software they pointed us to the website.
I assumed that as Oracle does with it's server products they had removed the licensing requirements for the calendar client line.
I have one really upset VP who wants his outlook connector back.

Hi John,
You can download the latest Connector for Outlook from the OTN download site. These are non-expiring versions.

Outlook Connector - No Phonebook Server

Has anyone been able to use the Outlook Connector without using/supplying a phonebook server in the configuration?
TIA,
Dave

Hi,
There is already an RFE (request for enhancement) to remove the requirement to have the UWC based address-book (#6206267 - Make Address Book Server an optional component when configuring OC) - but as the engineers pointed out, removing the address-book requirement is more about removing UWC - which is also required for the mail-filter UI and out-of-office UI.
There was also concerns about storing contacts locally due to local PST corruption resulting in loss of all data - currently this isn't an issue since email/calendar/addressbook data is stored on the server.
Therefore there are no plans to implement this RFE in the near future. You are more then welcome to push this RFE with your Sun sales reps.
With regards to your UWC service, the latest versions of UWC e.g. 118540-42 have proven to be reliable -- if the number of support requests is anything to go by. What version/patch-level are you running?
Regards,
Shane.

Sharing Address Books in Outlook Connector

Hi All,
My apologies if this matter has already been dealt with before, but after trying 3 times to make a support call (and being cut-off each time) I have given up in frustration and am asking for help from the group.
We are using JES 2005Q4 and Outlook Connector 7.3.
Some of our users like to share their contacts, and while this is possible using the Connector, I have discovered that if the user is in a different OrgUnit (ie ou=) they dont seem to be able to do this.
I have set up the Directory ACI's and VLV indexes as per the instructions.
Is this possible in this version of JES or is there something else I am missing?

Bruggy wrote:

Also I should point out that OC7.3 is not supported with JES 4. You need to be running Comm-Suite-5 and above components as per:

Is this possible in this version of JES or is there something else I am missing?RFE #6540097 - "get_subscribable_books.wabp does not account for multiple containers".
The following is from the RFE comments however from memory this was also included in the UWC/CE patch readme:
<snip>
A new property is introduced in this fix called "db.sharePabContacts" and it has to be enabled
in the following properties file:
/var/opt/SUNWuwc/WEB-INF/domain/personalstore.properties
By default, this property is set to false. Customers who want to avail this functionality have to
enable this feature by setting it to "true" in the above mentioned properties file:
E.g: db.sharePabContacts = true
With this fix, it is now possible to share the Personal Addressbook with users across different
organizational units but within the same domain and with users whose dn does not begin with uid.
For eg:
A user with a "dn" value :
uid=foo,ou=people,o=domain.com,dc=sun,dc=com
can share his Personal Address Book with a user who has a dn (NOTE: dn is not of the form "uid=..."):
cn=bar,ou=people,o=domain.com,dc=sun,dc=com
Also, users in one organizational unit within the same domain can now share their
Personal Addressbook with users in other organizational units:
For e.g.:
A user in one organizational unit (e.g. ou=employees) in a domain with dn such as mentioned below:
uid=foo,ou=employees,o=domain.com,dc=sun,dc=com
can now share his contacts with a user in another organizational unit (e.g. ou=contractors) within
the same domain such as follows:
uid=bar,ou=contractors,o=domain.com,dc=sun,dc=com
</snip>
This RFE was implemented in UWC6.2 point-patch 125819-09 and above and also in UWC6.3 patch 122793-18 and above. You will still need to log a support-case (use the online method to avoid having to make a phone call) to get a copy of the UWC6.2 point-patch (125819-14 is the latest).

Microsoft Outlook truncates messagies before sending (Outlook Connector)

Using Outlook Connector, connectod to SUN messaging server, when new message or REPLY is composed, and SENT, outlook sends just a part of a message - last edited lines just disappears. receiver receives truncated message, and truncated message appears in SENT folder.
It seems to be "Autosave problem". That Outlook sends LAST DRAFT auto saved message version?
When Outlook autosave is set OFF, composing and sending works fine.
Problem appears on different workstations: Windows XP, Windows VISTA, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007....
Does anybody knows solution for this? Or this is server configuration problem?

>
In future please provide the exact version of Outlook Connector that you are running.
Using Outlook Connector, connectod to SUN messaging server, when new message or REPLY is composed, and SENT, outlook sends just a part of a message - last edited lines just disappears. receiver receives truncated message, and truncated message appears in SENT folder.This sounds like a known issue that was fixed some time ago:
bug #6441043 - "after autosave and continue to edit text is lost".
Can you reproduce this problem with the latest version of Outlook Connector (OC7.3 - 139162-01) which can be downloaded via sunsolve.sun.com?

Corp Time Outlook Connector

Is there any news on better sync between Corp Time and Outlook? Our company uses the old Outlook Connector tool.
Is there a newer version of Outlook Connector? I am on V3.3. I heard that there was V3.4 or V4 that has reduced many of the bugs.
Also, any news on accessing the web based Corp Time site from the new Cell Phones? I have web access on my Samsung A500 but it is only usefull on websites that have "mobile" version.
Our company also uses the old CT&S tool for accessing our Corp Time Server from outside the firewall. Kind of webmail way of getting to the calendar.
Does anyone know if there is a "mobile" version of this site tool?
The ideal solution would be a way to sync Corp Time with the calendar that is built into a cell phone, without requiring the bulk and overhead of the Palm or Windows CE OS.
Short of that, I'm open to suggestions.

Upon taking over Steltor, Oracle released new versions of most CorporateTime components (client and server), which mostly consisted of them sticking their name on the Steltor products. More significant updates have occurred since then, especially with the release of 9.0.4. Outlook Connector was initially bumped to v3.4 and Oracle released a few point releases. Functionally, versions 3.3 and 3.4 are very similar. The latest release, called Oracle Connector for Outlook 9.0.4, looks and feels much the same as well, though there are some additional features and enhancements. See the release notes:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/B12029_02/calendar.htm#1006785
Collaboration Suite includes a wireless server that might address your mobile needs, though I haven't worked with it.

Cannot connect to SMTP server using Outlook Connector

Hi All,
I am trying to connect outlook client to my oracle mail server in OCS. I have succefully installed the Outlook connector but when i try to connect it gives me the following error:
The SMTP server is unavailable.
When i click on retry it gives me the option to enter the Server name, i type the server name with fully qualified domain name. ( i can ping the server from the client pc from where i am trying to connect). But no luck at all.
However i am able to send receive e-mail from the wb client, no issues at all, which means my SMTP server is up and running. I have also verified that listener_es process is up and running.
Any suggestions or ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipak.

Hi Naqi,
You are absolutely correct. I added the client in /etc/hosts file and it all worked well.
Not just connecting the client but also when i telnet on port 25 i dont get the spam error.
ALso, i have seen lots of your input on the forums and has been very helpfull.
Thankyou so much.
I will be attempting to migrate some of my users via export/import from .pst file. These users have about 9000 mails in their mail box. During the normal migration i had errors and couldnt migrate these users. Let me see how it goes now.
Regards,
Dipak

How to register the most current outlook connector

I found some previous post that were able to help me figure out how to remove the existing miscrosoft office conenctor, but the commands offered to register the current outlook connector went unrecognizable by my computer. Result being that there is not an outlook tab available when trying to set up synchronization.
I am using office 2007 if that helps and desktop manager 5.0
Thank you for any help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So you have Outlook 2007 and Desktop Manager 5.0 and when you go into the sync options you don't see Outlook? Which choices do you have?
Take a look at this KB article to see if it helps - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02362

Calendar server and address book server login fails with outlook connector

Hi all,
I have installed Java Communication Suite 5 according to the doc http://blogs.sun.com/factotum/resource/comms5-install-linux.html.
When i deploy the connector i get the pop ups saying "Server:servername:3080
Error:service not available" also
"Server:servername:80/uwc"
Error:service not available"
asking to login to calendar server and address book server.Clicking "OK" allows install.
In outlook i can send and receive mails but not the meeting requests.It gives the error "login to calendar server" when i create a meeting request.
Please let me know what i have to do to get rid of the error.The username and passwd entered is correct.

lmeenakshy

Hi,
When i deploy the connector i get the pop ups saying
"Server:servername:3080
Error:service not available" also Do you get exactly what you say above, or have you substituted in the real server name for "Server:servername:" above?
I would check through the outlook connector deployment configuration to verify that you have inserted valid information into all of the host & port fields - perhaps check the .ini file that is created to see if it has "Server" and "servername" listed.
"Server:servername:80/uwc"
Error:service not available"You are able to log into UWC via the web-interface and access your calendar/pab and edit/modify/delete calendar & addressbook entries right? The services are all up?
asking to login to calendar server and address book
server.Clicking "OK" allows install.The outlook connector deployment software gives you the option to increase the logging level, try that and see what the logs say - what was it trying to connect to/check which failed.
In outlook i can send and receive mails but not the
meeting requests.It gives the error "login to
calendar server" when i create a meeting request.
Please let me know what i have to do to get rid of
the error.The username and passwd entered is
correct.I suspect this is more of an underlying configuration issue that needs to be sorted out, once that happens you shouldn't have to keep logging in.

Hi,
Have a look at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9320116
Directions on the installation/configuration and requirements of the outlook connector (for 2005Q4 since you haven't told us what version of the comm suite you are using) are available at docs.sun.com e.g.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/2783#hic
Outlook connector requires that you have UWC (a.k.a communication express) installed and configured, which has it's own requirements. UWC provides the single web-interface to mail & calendar & address-book. Outlook uses the address-book functionality via UWC, IMAP and SMTP for messaging/email, plus WCAP for calendar.
