Collaboration Services 3.9 - User Guide

Getting started with Collaboration Services Organizing objects for synchronization Resolving synchronization conflicts Managing the synchronization process Transport management Fine-tuning and maintenance Backup, restore, and troubleshooting Appendix A: Customizing the format of synchronized data Appendix B: Collaboration Services events

Step 6: Select calendar attributes

On the Calendar Details page, specify which appointment attributes should be published and synchronized.

* 
NOTE: This page is skipped if Calendar information was not selected on the Step 1 of the wizard.

By default, if the Synchronize appointment details check box is cleared, Collaboration Services publishes to other synchronization partners only the time to start and end the appointment.

Select the Synchronize appointment details check box to allow publication of the following additional parameters for each appointment:

•
Time zone
•
Location
•
Recurrence attributes
•
Appointment subject
* 
NOTE: The Location and Subject appointment details will become available in Free/Busy information.

If you select the Synchronize appointment details option, then the Reviewer permission will be set for the Calendar folder (for Default on the subscriber side), so any user from the subscribed organization will be able to view synchronized calendar details.

Step 7: Apply mappers

Sometimes the publishing or subscribing administrators might want to change the format or appearance of the data they publish or subscribe to. To do that, you can use mappers. A mapper is a plug-in component that changes the appearance of data that you publish or subscribe to. For example, a mapper can be used to set the Active Directory objects' attributes values to those specified in the .ini file.

In this step of the Publish Collection Wizard, you can apply mappers to the published objects.

For more information about what mappers are available, see Appendix A: Customizing the format of synchronized data .

To enable the option
1
Select the Apply mappers to synchronized objects check box.
You can perform the following actions:
a
To add mappers, click Add. Select the mapper to be applied from the list of Available mappers and click Add. The mapper appears in the Selected mappers list. Repeat these actions to add more mappers if needed.
b
To organize the list of mappers use the Up and Down buttons.
* 
NOTE: Make sure that frequently used mappers are at the top of the list because the topmost mappers are processed by Collaboration Services first.
c
You can edit properties of the added mappers or remove the mappers from the list.

Step 8: Allow for subscription and synchronization

In this step you can:

•
Allow other synchronization partners to subscribe to the collection you are creating or prohibit partners from subscribing.
•
Specify whether synchronization of collection members should start immediately after the collection is published (after you finish the wizard).
To allow or prohibit subscription
1
Click the Add button.
2
Check or clear the Allow or Deny check box for a partner in the list.
* 
NOTE: Deny always overrides Allow. Thus, Deny selected for Everyone overrides all explicitly set Allow permissions.
Because the HQ forest operates as the service data packet distributor, it is allowed to subscribe to all collections in the collaboration structure by default.

If you do not want collection members to be involved in synchronization immediately after the collection is published, select the Collection is disabled check box. For details on enabling or disabling collections, see Enabling or disabling a collection .

Step 9: Apply settings

Wait until the collection is created and its settings are saved to the configuration database.

Collaboration Services will notify allowed synchronization partners that the collection is available for subscription. As soon as a collection is published, the administrators of other branch forests who have appropriate permissions will be able to subscribe to the collection.

* 
NOTE: If a collection was created as enabled, then as soon as the synchronization partners subscribe to it, the collection’s data will start being synchronized to the other forests.
