Appendix: Troubleshooting the FBC
On-premises Exchange or hybrid O365 using shared (single) namespace
Follow these steps, in order as presented here, to install and configure CMN’s Free/Busy Connector for an on-premises Exchange or a hybrid Office 365 environment with a shared (single) namespace:
Step 1: Plan your FBC installation and configuration
To plan your overall FBC installation and configuration:
1-1: Verify system requirements
Review the system requirements (in the CMN Release Notes), and verify either that your environment conforms to the requirements, or that you will have the necessary hardware and software to meet the requirements.
1-2: Make a configuration map
Then sketch out a configuration map to show which FBC components will reside on which computers. For technical reasons, the QCalCon component of the Free/Busy Connector must be installed on a Domino server. But if the Domino environment contains more than one Domino server, QCalCon is installed on only one server. (Other Domino servers can find and use a single QCalCon instance on a "bridgehead" server.) The other four Free/Busy Connector components can be installed on a single computer, although deployment to two separate computers will improve performance in environments with higher volumes of F/B queries and replies.
