17015

If an Outlook chairperson changes a single instance meeting to a recurring meeting, Notes invitees will receive an error when attempting to open the schedule notice that states, " Error Trying to open document:  Invalid or nonexistent document" and "Invalid or nonexistent document". The cancellation notice is not actionable, but opening the meeting will cause the cancellation to be processed, and the meeting removed from the calendar.

17016

Version numbers are not displayed on Installation/Upgrade screens.

17017

It is possible to repeatedly open and take action in an ICS file attached to a meeting notice sent from Outlook to Notes. Doing so will create multiple meeting notices in the Notes inbox, and is not supported.

17023

If an Outlook Chairperson removes a Notes user from the entire series of a recurring meeting, and then re-adds the same Notes user, the Notes user will receive a prompt when accepting that states, "Part or all of this meeting is already in your mailfile. Would you like notes to delete those entries and accept this instead?" Regardless of clicking Yes or No, the meeting will not be added to the Notes users calendar.

17024

An image in a meeting invitation sent from an Outlook user to a Notes user appears as a one pixel .jpg image in the received invitation. This is being done by the Domino router and cannot be corrected by Notes Integration |CMT BTCal at this time.

17025

A Notes chair that creates a single meeting with invited Outlook users and selects the "Do not receive responses from invitees" will still receive acceptance notices from the Outlook users. This appears to be a known limitation in Outlook.

17026

When On the Fly Encryption is enabled, an NDR (BTNDR52) is generated when an Outlook invitation sent to Notes users contains a block of text larger than can be processed (between 22.5K and 25K of text).

In Outlook 2010 and 2013, when scheduling a meeting, if you choose a Domino room from the most recently used list (clicking the dropdown for the Location field) or manually type in the name of the room, the room populates the location field correctly, but does not populate the "To" field and an invitation does not get sent to Domino. Only clicking the "Rooms" button to the right of the Location field will correctly populate the "To" field, and send and invitation to the room.

17028

If the delegee of a recurring meeting is migrated, and the series is rescheduled, the meeting will appear twice on the delegee's calendar.

17029

There is a known issue with several versions of Domino that results in empty folders being deleted from a Domino server. It is therefore recommended that a dummy file be added to the BTWorkDirectory to prevent Domino from deleting this folder after BTCal removes files as part of typical processing.

17031

If a Notes chairperson reschedules a single instance of a repeating meeting and this chairperson is not in the Offline Address Book, the organizer name will be displayed incorrectly on Outlook 2013 invitee's calendar. This is an issue with Outlook 2013 and cannot be corrected by Notes Integration |CMT BTCal.

17032

The acceptance notification received by a chairperson from Outlook through the GRIP process does not display the accepting participant in the Required field. This issue does not affect the functionality of the calendar event.

17033

In a Domino/Office 365 Coexistence environment, there is a difference between how the sender/from:/chairperson will be displayed in normal mail messages vs meeting invitations. In a normal mail message, the sender will resolve to the contact and show the displayname. In a meeting invitation, the sender/chairperson will display in a Canonical format. This is normal and due to inherent differences between the two messaging platforms which cannot be resolved in an Office 365 environment.

17034

If an Outlook user creates an ALL DAY, single instance meeting, invites a Lotus Notes recipient and the Lotus Notes recipient accepts the meeting, the meeting displays as an all day meeting from 4am-8pm rather than 12am-12am.

17035

If the ICS file contains the text "=3D" (for example, a room is named "3d Room"), an NDR is generated because "3D" is used to identify Quoted Printable Text.

17038

A Domino room cannot be selected as a location when using Outlook Web App (OWA) 2013. Manually typing a Domino room into the Location line will not populate the "To" field, and send and invitation to the room.

17039

If the BTADDUSER .ini parameter is set to N and an Outlook user is added to a previously altered recurring meeting, the Notes sender will receive an NDR and the Outlook user will receive the invitation.

17040

If an Exchange user is added to a single instance of a recurring meeting, subsequent changes made to all instances of that meeting will result in all instances of the meeting appearing on the Exchange user's calendar.

17041

The error "Maximum number of memory segments that Notes can support has been exceeded - out of handles" reported to the Notes console or on dead mail can be caused by the lack of a timeout for the BT GRIP functionality. To rectify this issue, change the following parameter to have an actual timeout value (value should not be '0') which will prevent BTCal from continually trying to process the messages:BTADDUSERDELAYMAX=600

17042

Delegation from a Lotus Notes recurring meeting to an Outlook user produces two not supported.ics attachments which cannot be acted upon.by the Outlook user.

17043

An existing repeating meeting between two Lotus Notes users where one user is migrated to Outlook and the MTCW agent is run and the chair (still in Lotus Notes) reschedules an instance after rescheduling the entire series twice results in the Notes chair receiving the acceptance, but when they open it they receive the error "Error trying to open document: The repeating instance document corresponding to this notice cannot be located."

17044

A Domino server crash can potentially occur if a user who has been migrated to Exchange goes back into his Lotus Notes mail file and attempts to add an Exchange user to an existing Notes recurring meeting.  The user should only be managing his calendar through Outlook, as he is migrated.  By going back to Domino and adding the Exchange user to a recurring Notes meeting, the GRIP functionality will attempt to process the message and is unable to do so successfully due to the meeting originator no longer being a Notes user and subsequently causing a routing loop.

17045

If a Notes recipient proposes a new time for a meeting chaired by an Outlook user, the notice received by the Outlook chairperson will display an incorrect 'Current Date' and an erroneous time. This does not affect the functionality of the new time proposal notice which will process for the correct time and date when accepted by the Outlook chairperson.

17046

When the parameter BTDelegateNDR=Y (which is the default setting), calendar items sent from Exchange to Domino by a person with delegated access to the mail box from which it is sent will be captured by the Domino Coexistence server.  A customizable non-delivery report (NDR) will be returned to the sender informing them that their item was not delivered. While it is not the explicit intention to prevent this specific scenario, the ical information in the Exchange item does not distinguish between this and a forwarded calendar item.

17047

When a Domino chairperson opens a confirmation of acceptance notice for an Exchange user that was added to an existing recurring meeting, they will see "Error trying to open document.  The repeating instance document corresponding to this notice cannot be located."

17049

17051

If a Domino user delegates an accepted meeting to an Exchange user, the Exchange user will receive a memo instead of an invitation, which cannot be accepted by the Exchange user.

17052

If an Exchange user delegates a meeting, chaired by a Domino user, to another Domino user, the delegatee's Accepted status will appear under the Unknown category. If the Domino chairperson adds the delegatee to the meeting, there will be a second status under the Required category that reads 'No Response'.

17053

If a Domino chairperson pastes an image in a meeting invitation, the ATT00001.htm file does not display correctly when opened by Outlook invitees.

17054

BTCal will flag a meeting sent from Exchange to Domino with 'No end date' as unsupported, although Domino and Notes 8.5x can properly process the meeting.  Prior version of Domino and Notes cannot support meeting with no end date.

17056

When a Notes user accepts a meeting invitation from an Outlook user and chooses the Accept with Comments option, if any attachments are included in the Comments, the Outlook user does not receive them.

17058

When there is a lot of text in the Notes description field of a meeting invitation not only can this text be truncated and not appear in the Outlook meeting, but if the Notes meeting is rescheduled or edited and the option to send comments is chosen, the comments will also be truncated and not appear in the Outlook meeting.  The complete text, including comments, is included in the .HTM file attachment in the Outlook meeting.

17059

When rescheduling a series, changing the number of occurrences, the frequency (daily, month, yearly) or the day is not supported.  When rescheduling a series, you can change the time only.

17060

When performing a Reschedule, Confirm, Update, or a Cancel function in a Notes to Exchange meeting, if you select the "Include additional comments on notice" none of the attributes selected take effect.  The Domino Router converts any rich text in comments to plain text and drops all attachments, embedded objects, or links from the comments.

17061

If an Outlook user adds a Notes user to two or more instances of a standard recurring meeting, the reschedule notice received by the Notes user for the second instance reads: 'You cannot act on this notice, because this meeting is not on your calendar.'

17062

Embedded images are moved to the top of email messages as attachments when Outlook users email Notes users.

17063

Calendar counter proposals, for recurring meetings, sent from Domino to Exchange are intentionally converted to non-actionable text by BTCal, because Exchange does not allow this functionality (counter proposals for recurring meetings).

17064

When sending a mail item from Notes to Outlook, if you attach two files that have the same name, one file is renamed to ATT* when it is viewed within Outlook. You must save the attachments with the correct file extension prior to opening it.

30263

When the Outlook chair of a repeating meeting, that includes a Domino room, cancels the first occurrence of the meeting, the reservations for the entire series are deleted from the Resource Reservation database.

31035

If an Outlook chair reschedules a single instance of a repeating meeting that includes a Domino room and the room is unavailable, the chair will receive a notice that the room has declined the reschedule. If the Outlook chair selects a replacement room or reschedules the instance of the series and the room is available, the chair will receive an acceptance for the rescheduled instance from the new room.  All reservations for the original room are cancelled, but Outlook still shows the room as reserved.

31039

When an Outlook chair schedules a repeating meeting with a Domino room that is unavailable, the chair receives a decline notice from the room.  If the chair selects an alternative Domino room for the repeating meeting, only the first instance of the repeating meeting is scheduled in Resource.nsf, rather than the whole series.

44544

When a repeating meeting is created from Outlook to Domino Group & Notes user 1, and the Domino Group already contains Notes user 1, subsequent meeting updates (rescheduling more than one instance; updating title or body; adding users and updating all, etc.) return inconsistent results, due to the fact that Notes doesn't know how to handle two distinct invites to the same user.

When a Notes user sends a calendar invitation to an Outlook user with "Encrypt" option enabled, the Outlook user can accept the invitation and open the link to the ZApp db one time only. Subsequent attempts to open the link (by that user, or by any other Outlook user the invitation was addressed to) will fail, with the message: "The document specified by the link cannot be located within the linked-to database."

17030

The BTStore.nsf database contains functionality for administrators to export certain content to an Excel spreadsheet through the use of a button built-in to the database. This button was designed for use in Notes 7.0.x clients and may not work properly in any other client. To work around this issue an administrator with the appropriate level of access can click on the 'Action' menu item in the Notes client and select 'Export Current View to Excel'. This will perform the same functionality as the button and should allow it to work as expected in newer clients (8.5.x).

17036

Multiple replies to a calendar invite that contains images, tables, or other content that triggers ZApp may result in missing body text.

17037
