Groupwise Calendar Publishing Host Losing Connection To POA

Our calendar publishing host will work fine for awhile, then lose connection to the poa. The log entry will state "Failed to connect to Post Office (xxx.xxx.xx.xx) for Calendar/Freebusy publishing." Entries in previous logs will show where it's connecting just fine. When this happens, I've tried restarting all the Groupwise modules (poa, mta, webacc, gwia) as well as stopping and starting apache2 and tomcat5. Nothing will bring it back online until I reboot the Linux server. Our setup is:
Server: SLES 10 SP4
Gwinter: 8.0.3-103395
Calhost: 8.0.2-96933
Webaccess: 8.0.3-103395
Client: 8.0.2-92614
Agents: 8.0.3-103395
Gwcheck: 8.0.2-92614
Gwha: 8.0.3-103395

Thanks, Mark. Will Do. I was wondering about that myself.

Groupwise calendar publishing host sort

The calendar publishing host sort on owner name not on (sub)agendas.
Is there an option to change this behavior so the list first sort on owner then on agenda name?
Is there a way to add an search option to the web page?
Has someone modified the default templates and add these basic functions?
Thank in advance

AFAIK, none of these things are possible unless you feel like
decompiling and rewriting the java code.

Groupwise calendar publishing host: alphabetic order possible?

Hi,
is it possible to display published calendar in an alphabetic order?
Even when changing the order of the sub calendars in the GW-mailbox, this will not be published as shown in the client.

Calendar publishing host does not update automatically

GroupWise 2014 is installed on OES11 SP2 with web access and calendar publishing host in virtual vmware environment. The calendar will not automatically update existing or display newly published users' calendars until I manually enter rcnovell-tomcat6 restart command. Any ideas?

Calendar Publishing Host

Have a site that is looking into calendar publishing host and I am working to see if this is a viable option. Haven't done allot with the product myself so looking to see if this possibly might work. It appears this product will publish calendars so that external users can see the internal GroupWise users calendars. This site has a large mac contingent and they still have to use the gw8.0.2 client on them. The main issue deals with the option to view mutil calendar view, which is something you can't do in the mac GW client. They need a way they can view mutli calendars for scheduling and all. Wanted to see if the calendar publishing agent would be a viable option to deal with current issue. The capability I don't believe is in the webaccess agent as well to view multi calendars.

Multi-user calendars are "defined" by the users themselves, so there isn't a
"multi-user" calendar per se in calendar publisher. However, you could be
creative :-)
If you use calendar publisher, you could define a folder in the GW 8 client as
"panels". Then you could put different calendars from the web publisher into
the panels. You can actually accomplish this without calendar publisher by
making a new panel for each Groupwise calendar that the user has access to, but
calendar publisher might "look" better in the panels.

Multi-Calendar on a Calendar Publishing Host

In our organization, we wanted to see if it's possible to publish a Multi-User calendar.
For example, employees can book for fieldwork a car.
Now they have to open their GroupWise and they can choose their own-made Multi-calendar in which they have the agenda's of all cars.
But the experience is that GroupWise is slow when you open a Multi-calender with more than eight sub-calendars.
So we thought maybe it's possible to Publish those multi-calendar on our Calender Publishing Host server, but than the only thing we see is the name of the Multi-Calendar without any item.
Do you people know if this is possible, or do we have to buy a third-party product?
Thanks,

I have the same question, Dick.
With Groupwise 6, we used M+Extranet to publish calendars. A little php script let users but checks by the calendars they wanted to check, then the calendars were aggregated when they clicked BUILD.
I'm at a school system, so this was great for parents who had kids at multiple schools participating in multiple activities - football, drama, scholars' bowl - one aggregated calendar could show them everything they needed to see.
We now use GroupWise calendaring for that stuff, but the change in published format has caused mass confusion. Everyone was trained to post on the SUB calendar which no longer works.
We really need a solution and don't mind buying one.

Calendar Publishing Host-resouces calendar blank!

Hello, we are at Groupwise 12.0.3 build 115815. We published quiet few calendars for users and resources, since then webaccess crashes and the fix is to restart tomcat. This happens every so many hrs(12 maybe).
The other thing I noticed is that when I go to see the published calendar in the web it displays a blank page for resources but not for users.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Ramiro,
You say that you are running GroupWise 2012.0.3 - this has not officially been released yet, so I am assuming that you are running an FTF version.
May I suggest that you contact Novell Technical Support to see if there is newer code that might address your issues?
Cheers,

GroupWise calender publishing host not working

GW 14.01
When I got to mail.dcbe.org/gwcal/calendar I get the message (The server or post office agent is no longer responding or has become disconnected. Contact your system administrator.)
I have reconfigured the calender publishing and still not luck. Does anyone know what I can check or have a fix? I can login to the web admin with no problem.

Got it going, had to reinstall calender publishing.

Calendar publishing

I've set up a calendar publishing host in my test gw2012 setup. I'm
wondering the 'correct' procedure if additional post offices are to be
set up to publish.
Do I need to install multiple publishing hosts, or can my current host
be configured to read calendar info from multiple POAs.

So my response to kjhurni's comment is...
So I can just add entries to the calhost.cfg file for other POA's?
Stevo
From the docs:
Novell Documentation
(start with the: Enabling Calendar Publishing section)
Then go to the :
Configuring a POA for Calendar Publishing
After calendar publishing is enabled, the POA can look up calendar information and return it to the Calendar Publishing Host in the form of ICS (Internet Calendaring and Scheduling) or IFB (Internet Free Busy) files. Internet users can import these files into GroupWise, Outlook, and Macintosh iCal calendaring applications.
Use the information under Calendar Publishing Post Office on your GroupWise Calendar Publishing Host Installation Worksheet as you configure the POA.
In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the post office where calendar publishing is enabled, right-click the POA object for the post office, then click Properties.
Click GroupWise > Agent Settings.
Select Enable Calendar Publishing.
Adjust the number in the Max Calendar Publishing Threads field as needed.
The default maximum number of calendar publishing threads is 4. By default, the POA creates 2 calendar publishing threads and automatically creates additional threads as needed until the maximum number is reached. You cannot set the maximum higher than 4, but you can reduce the number of threads to conserve POA resources for other activities.
Click OK to save the calendar publishing configuration settings.
As you roll out calendar publishing to your GroupWise users, enable calendar publishing on the POA for each post office where users will publish calendars and free/busy information.
To determine which POAs have been enabled for calendar publishing, see "Viewing Calendar Publishing Status at the POA Web Console" in "Calendar Publishing Host" in the GroupWise 2012 Administration Guide.

Password restricted access for published Groupwise calendar

Hello,
we want to publish our internal calendar. But I want to prevent, that everyone who knows the link-address has access to this calendar.
So I tried to add the LDAP-authorisation to the /etc/opt/novell/groupwise/calhost/gwcal.conf as described in Novell-doc 7000659.
But the access to the (for testing) published calendar is still open for every who knows the link-address.
Another directory I published from the same apache2 with the same entrys in the config file in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/xxxx.conf works fine, if the user wants to get access, he has to login with his uid/password.
Is there another way to restrict the access to the public calendar via LDAP as described?
Thanks for your help,
Holger

Thanks.
For example NetIQ Access Manager would be one option to handle this problem.

Calendar Publishing not working for users moved to new PO

We got the Calendar Publishing working, and it's a treat, very nice integration to our Intranet, teaming etc.
But for users that has a published calendar, and is then moved, the publishing fails!
I've set the loglevel for the Calpub to diagnostic, and I see this:
15:28:00, <GWCAL>, -, INFO, -, Sending request to POA:

So first of, it connects to PO4 without problems, then PO8 where it finds the user (correctly), and then it gives an error when trying to access the calendar.
The calendar has been 'unpublished'/'republished' but the URL doesn't change.
I can create a new calendar, and move the appointments there, and then it works, but it's not a solution of course :-)

Hi,
Had the same problem today.
Is there a fix or workaround? (GW 801HP2)

Empty PostOffice Calendar publisher bug

I have no reasonable way of reporting this to Novell, so I'm simply
posting this here in case anyone else comes across this problem. It's
been so long since I've ran into this I forgot all about how to work
around it, so hopefully this posting comes up for me the next time I
forget the problem and go searching for a fix. I've noticed this problem
ever since v8.0.0 and I'm currently running the latest 8.0.3 HP3. Quite
simply, if a post office has no users and the POA has calendar
publishing enabled the publisher agent will get hung up indefinitely and
will no longer serve requests. You can easily see what's happening by
watching /var/logs/tomcat6/catalina.out because it will show what Post
office it's trying to connect to for a list of users but since none show
up it just sits there. The fix is to either add a user to the post
office or disable calendar publishing on that specific poa.

Very clever idea Mike. I will admit that I've occasionally gone to search for
something to fix a problem and found another thread where I posted an answer to
help solve the same problem for another user - heehee.

Windows 8 keeps losing connectivity

Hi, not sure if this is unique but for the past few weeks Windows 8 has been losing connectivity every few minutes when browsing web pages, playing games etc. I am sure it's windows 8 as I have another work laptop using XP that I can be on all day via a
VPN and that does not drop at all (it would normally drop within a few seconds of losing connectivity). I've done a lot of searching on the net for the same issue, others seem to be having similar things happen such as slow speed but can't find anything that
matches, hence this separate question.
I have also tried swapping routers to no avail. The thing is, you wouldn't know anything had happened from the network connectivity. Suddenly a page won't load. The wireless connectivity at the bottom right of the screen shows a full 5 bars (not limited
connectivity). The way to get it back again is to leave it for a few minutes or disconnect from the router and reconnect again. Even whilst typing this I have had to do that twice.
I'd appreciate some suggestions!
Many Thanks, Paul.

Hi,
Does this issue occur with both wireless and wired?
I suggest to perform these tests to troubleshoot the issue:
1 Update NIC card for your machine
2 Temporary disable firewall and antivirus program
3 Logon with Safe Mode with Networking
4 Update framework for your router.

External drive conntected to Time Capsule keeps losing connection

I've been having this problem since I bought my TC over one year ago. Other than this everything works fine (aside from the occasional need for a restart).
I have an external 500GB drive attached to my 500GB TC via usb. I use the TC strictly for backups and the other drive to host my media files. When I want to use those files I switch on the drive. Only about half of the time does that work. When it does work everything is fine. I see the drive in the finder as expected.
When it doesn't work, I can see the drive name in the finder. But if I click to go into the folder, I get an error saying that the connection cannot be found.
It shows up in the Airport Utility as normal.
Powering the drive off and on does not help.
Relaunching the finder doesn't help either.
The only way I can connect to the drive again is to either logoff and log back into my mac, or restart the TC.
It seems that my computer is remembering some kind of network disk mounting settings that don't get refreshed when I turn on the drive, but then do get refreshed when I logoff and back in. Does anyone know how I could force that refresh to happen? Has anyone had this problem before?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
PS all my software and firmware are the latest.
Thanks.

Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

Barry, thanks, still not working. I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.
