PabUri Error in http log

Question

We are using the latest Comms 5 suite Messaging server and have migrated Data from IMS5.2 into the new environment and migrated the addressbook from the o=pab to o=PiServerDB using the pab2abs tool. We are not experiencing any problems with the addressbook, however we are seeing the following lines in the http log on the front end Messaging server:
httpd[29632]: General Error: No configured pab.ldaphost matches this pabURI: ldap://+oldldaphost+:389/ou=user,ou=People,o= test.com,o=+test+,o=pab
If the server should ignore the hostname in pabURIs, enable the option local.service.pab.alwaysusedefaulthost
The pabUri that it is showing is the users old pabUri from the old IMS5.2 environment and the users now have the correct psRoot attribute.
Should the pabUri be changed to show the piServerDB location for that user? remove the pabUri attribute for the users? or is there a setting in the messaging server that should be changed?

You only need to migrate the PAB data to o=PiServerDB if you intend to use UWC.

If the server should ignore the hostname in pabURIs, enable the option local.service.pab.alwaysusedefaulthostThis error indicates that a user logged into Messenger Express and not UWC, as UWC addressbook related errors show up in the uwc.log file.
The pabUri that it is showing is the users old pabUri from the old IMS5.2 environment and the users now have the correct psRoot attribute.pabUri => Messenger Express
psRoot => UWC
Should the pabUri be changed to show the piServerDB location for that user?No this won't help.
Basically you have two independent address-books, one that UWC uses and the other that ME uses. The migration utility that you ran basically copies the ME PAB data to UWC, but this is a one-time thing. If your customers use both ME/UWC and changes both address-books they will not be kept in sync.
