Oracle Outlook Connector - 3.4 works, 9.0.4.* doesn't?

Hi,
My company uses Oracle Corporate Time Server (not sure which version). Our accounts use LDAP to authenticate. When I use Outlook 2002 with Outlook Connector 3.4, everything works. However - when I use it with Oracle Connector 9.0.4.* or later I fail to connect to the calendar server - it tells me username is not recognized. The same username (I checked) works with version 3.4.
Anyone seen this problem?
Anxious to use Outlook 2003 - which is why I tried upgrading to Outlook Connector 9.0.4.11 as it supports Outlook 2003.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dennis,
Thanks very much.. I will try that today. I've found so many sites adverstising the use of 3.4 for calendar configuration - and have to guess that this problem with 9.0.4.* may be the problem. Will let you know.
Cheers,

Bug in Oracle Outlook Connector 10,1,1,0,2 (1431) and Oracle Forms 6i Rel 2

Hello,
I installed Oracle Outlook Connector. 10,1,1,0,2 (1431)
We are using Oracle Collaboration Suite on a 10g database.
On the Desktop.
I am using.
a) MS/OFFICE Outlook 2003.
b) Oracle Forms and Reports 6i Release 2.
c) Oracle instance client 10.1
d) Windows XP HOME SP2.
What happens?
1) Oracle Run Time Forms 6i and Oracle/MS Outlook 2003 run fine(Work) when I run them ONE AT A TIME!
2) When I run them together(At the same time) I receive this error message. FRM-40735 ORA-06508.
I have narrowed it down to an Oracle Connector 10g problem.
How did I do that?
In XP Home you can create multi-user accounts.
I created a new user account this time I connected to Microsoft Exchange Server 2000.
Results. Oracle runtime 6i works at the same time as MS Outlook 2003.
I am able to use both Programs at the same time. Without any error messages.
Next Step.
I created a new user account and this time I used an Oracle Connector 10.1g for MS Outlook 2003.
Results: Same error message as before. Ran the application(s) at the same time. FRM-40735 and ORA-06508
Please help with any ideas.
Thank you
Dennis

The product managers look through the forum threads periodically. Some more regularly than others. Since I only look at the forum about once a week, I'm probably the least regular of the PMs. Development also scans the forum, but less regularly.
If you have urgent issues that requires action/response from Oracle, it is better to open an SR with Oracle Support.
Hope that helps,

Oracle Outlook Connector Deployment Problem

I am trying to deploy Outlook 2003 with the Oracle Outlook connector. I am using the Custom installation Wizard provided by the Microsoft Office 2003 Support Tools.
I have set the Oracle connector to piggy-back on the install, however, it will not setup each user automatically. Even using the ini file. You have to manually setup each current user and new users as they come to a new pc.
I want Outlook the CIW to setup the Oracle connector automatically using a .PRF file (Outlook profile file). Unfortunately, with 3rd party connectors, you have to setup the .prf manually. But, other than the white paper provided by Microsoft, there isn't any info on how to manually setup the .PRF file that will setup the connector?
Do I need to call Microsoft (and spend the $250), Oracle, or is there anyone out there that has this info?
Any help would be beneficial to everyone trying to deploy the oracle connector to a large amount of machines without ever having to visit each pc.

Not yet. I have issued a TAR with Oracle and have talked to a technician about this problem. He is now meeting with engineers to see if it is possible. I have also been on the phone with a software company called AutoProf and testing their software Profile Maker 8. The tech that I spoke with there is also working with the engineers to come up with a solution. Right now it looks as though some scripting is going to have to occur to get it to work right. I'll keep you posted.

Oracle Outlook Connector Deployment

We are trying to deploy the oracle outlook connector to hundreds of pcs. There isn't really any documentation on how to deploy this connector without visiting every single machine. Is there an MSI or easy way to deploy the connector?
All outlook clients are set to Internet only now, but we will first deploy Outlook 2003 and have that setup as Corporate/Workgroup before deploying the oracle connector. Any ideas?
Thanks for any info,

You could try using the Office 2003 custom installation wizard. This will allow you to customize your Outlook installation and will give you the option of chain installing the Oracle Calendar connector. Use the included ini file with the Oracle Calendar connector to set your predefined settings and do a silent install with no user interaction. Check out the Office 2003 resource kit on Microsoft's website for details.

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.

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.

Outlook connector - how can I open other users calendars at startup?

Hello!
How can I open a list of other users calendars at startup (outlook with Oracle outlook connector software installed)?
Is it possible?
Regards,
Konstantin.

Question:
Were you able to solve this issue? I too would like to have the ability to automatically open other users' calendar when Outlook loads.
I did find one unreliable workaround is this; I am able to add a link of the other users' calendar on the shortcut bar. This way, when a user logs on, s/he can click on the link to get to other's calendars.
However, I say its unreliable because every once in a while, I get the error message "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The entry Id passed in does not refer to a valid object."
To resolve this, I must go back to files -> open -> Other user's folders. Open the calendar before it works agin.

Adb sync not working for commsync and outlook connector after Patch 122793-

Hello,
I have opened the case 71038740 for this problem.
We have upgraded communication express:
v6.3-4.01 (Patch 122793-17,) ==> v6.3-11.01 (Patch 122793-24)
Communication Express seems to work fine but the adb
synchronisation for outlook connector and commsync does not work anymore.
The errors that we have are:

It looks like it is trying to opening
domain/unige.ch/personalstore.properties instead of
domain/personalstore.properties.
From what I see, we did not have this error in the previous version.
What is weird, that adb seems to work fine in uwc web interface.
I add the http dialog for the ones who may help me to debug:

Cannot get Outlook Connector work Communication Express style

We are using Sun Messaging server with Communication Express, Outlook Connector, Imap Clients.
And we have problems saving SENT items in one style. Both - IMAP clients and Communication Express works correctly - they saves sent items into folder named "SENT", but I cannot get Outlook Connector work the same way.
I have installed outlook connector (Product Version: 7.3-05.01), and configured it to set system folder names "Communication Express style".
I have set my local file:
C:\DOCUME~1\<user>\LOCALS~1\Application Data\Sun\Outlook Connector\sjoc_folders.map
content to:
[en]
INBOX=Inbox
Deleted Items=Trash
Drafts=Drafts
Sent Items=SentDoes this goes somewhere?
But nothing helps - Outlook 2007 still uses its own SENT ITEMS folder iwth this name and saves sent items in this folder.

I have set my local file:
C:\DOCUME~1\<user>\LOCALS~1\Application Data\Sun\Outlook Connector\sjoc_folders.mapYou changed the file or the file already contained the contents you mentioned?
Does this goes somewhere?I don't understand the question. The file is already located where it is supposed to be.
But nothing helps - Outlook 2007 still uses its own SENT ITEMS folder iwth this name and saves sent items in this folder.Have you tried removing the current Outlook Connector profile and installing/configuring afresh?

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 shared calendar lookup doesn't work for non-admins

First the version info:
JMS 6.2-8.04, Directory Server 5.2, Connector 7.2.402.1
Non-admin users are not able to retrieve a list of users from the GAL with Outlook Connector. I, as an admin, do get the list. Here is the the access log for a non-admin user. Note that in the RESULT, nentries is always zero.

Next, I followed the steps outlined in http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5200/gbnse?l=en&a=view&q=shared+calendar+ldap+lookup.
I set service.wcap.userprefs.ldapproxyauth = "yes"
I have the ACI entries as specified in that document.
(targetattr = "mail || uid || icsCalendar || givenName || sn || cn")
(targetfilter = (|(objectClass=icscalendaruser)(objectClass=icscalendarresource)))
(version 3.0;acl "Allow Calendar administrators to proxy - product=ics,class=admin,num=2,version=1";
allow (proxy)(groupdn = "ldap:///cn=Calendar Administrators, ou=Groups, o=cp");)
(targetattr = "mail || uid || icsCalendar || givenName || sn || cn")
(targetfilter = (|(objectClass=icscalendaruser)(objectClass=icscalendarresource)))
(version 3.0;
acl "Allow Calendar users to read and search other users - product=ics,class=admin,num=3,version=1";
allow (read,search)
(userdn = "ldap:///uid=*,ou=People,o=pcc.edu,o=cp")
The only oddity I see is that the ACI entries are not passed down to the next directory levels.
Any thoughts?
David.

I reviewed the document and I believe the VLV browsing indexes are setup and functional. I've also checked the ACI entries and they look correct. (The document doesn't mention the ACI entries for proxy authentication.) As I said, an admin user can retrieve names from the GAL, a non-admin user cannot. The only difference in the access log is the returned nentries value.

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

Outlook Connector Missing/Wrong Time Appts

I'm trying really hard to make Outlook Connector work for our organization with no success. Here are my issues ... hopefully someone else has come across them and found solutions:
1) Some appointments aren't imported into Outlook.
2) Those that are appear an hour earlier than the ones in Oracle.
3) I'm not notified when a new appointment comes in (no ability to accept, reject, or make tentative.
TIA!!
Rick

I had the problem of Outlook appointments showing an hour earlier than they were on the calendar server. I just fouind that by checking the automatically adjust for daylight savings time box this problem was corrected. Go to Start - Control Panel - Date and Time - Time Zone tab - check box = Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes.
I just thought I was going nuts...

PocketPC sync through Outlook Connector - what's best???

I've recently purchased a PocketPC to replace my failed Palm. I was already using the Outlook Connector without issue. When I installed the ActiveSync it automatically inserted whatever conduits that were needed to sync to Outlook while in turn seems sync to Oracle automagically through the Outlook Connector. From what I can tell it seems to do a relatively good job out of the box this way (ie: syncing the PocketPC to Outlook, which is forwarding it to Oracle via the Connector for Outlook).
However clearly there is a PocketPC only synchronizer and I do actually see some strange anomilies when syncing (sometimes I get issues with dups, particularly on reoccuring appointments). Also its not clear where my notes are going, though they seem to work and appear to be going into some Oracle store.
The client code is 10.10, but the server is 9i (seems to work fine together though).
So, what is the best bet here? Should I not be syncing through Outlook? If it's fine to sync through Outlook, why does Oracle even supply a PocketPC specific sync? PocketPC would require Outlook by default anyway.
Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
We provide Oracle synchronization conduits for users that are either not using Outlook (e.g. they use the native calendar desktop clients), or do not use the synchronization tools that come with their device. In some cases, the Oracle synchronization tools do a better job of synchronizing calendar information.
As much as possible, Oracle tries to make it flexible for our customers to use the clients and tools they want to use. So if you are an Outlook user, and you use OCFO, then you can continue to use your ActiveSync conduit to do the synchronization.
Since the OCFO architecture is different than the traditional Outlook one, there are sometimes problems with third-party synchronizations. For instance, we know of a problem when modifying recurring meetings in ActiveSync (it can cause the duplicates that you report) that we hope to address in a future release.
If you're having a problem and/or are not sure about your current Outlook-synchronization tool, talk to an Oracle Support representative.
Hope that helps,
--Marc

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.
