Integration for Notes includes customizable reason codes displayed for Non Delivery Reports (NDR’s) sent by BTCal. The default reason codes in the table below will be displayed as part of the message defined in the BTMULTISCHEDREPORTTEXTx Notes.ini parameter by %reason%. The only exception is BTNDR22, which completely replaces the BTMULTISCHEDREPORTTEXTx.
The table below includes the default customizable reason codes in the Notes.ini file and valid keywords that can be used in the error message.
Default Reason Code |
Explanation |
Valid Keywords |
---|---|---|
BTNDR1="Converting a single instance meeting to a recurring meeting cannot be supported between Exchange and Domino. Please cancel the meeting and recreate it as a recurring meeting." |
The Outlook user scheduled a single occurrence meeting and is now trying to convert it to a recurring meeting. |
|
BTNDR2=" Rescheduling an entire series of a recurring meeting that contains a Domino Room or Resource cannot be supported between Exchange and Domino. Please cancel and recreate the meeting." |
The Outlook user attempted to reschedule the entire series of a meeting that contains a Domino Room or Resource. |
|
BTNDR3="Canceling an entire series of a recurring meeting that contains a Domino Room or Resource after a single occurrence has been cancelled cannot be supported between Exchange and Domino. Please notify all participants that they should delete the meeting from their calendars. The Room or Resource reservation must also be manually deleted from the Resource Reservations database.” |
The Outlook user attempted to cancel the series that contains a Domino Room or Resource but had previously canceled a single occurrence of the series. |
|
BTNDR4="You have specified that this recurring meeting should occur on the “0” (zero) day of each month, which cannot be supported by Domino. Please cancel and recreate the meeting using a value between 1-28 (the 29th, 30th and 31st days of each month are also not supported as not every month contains more than 28 days).” |
The Outlook User scheduled a recurring meeting to occur on the zero day of each month. This appears to have been a bug in one or more versions of Outlook 2007. |
%RULE% |
BTNDR5="You have specified that this recurring meeting should occur on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of each month, which cannot be supported by Domino, because not every month contains more than 28 days. Please cancel and recreate the meeting using a value between 1-28” |
The Outlook User scheduled a recurring meeting to occur on either the 29th, 30th or 31st day of each month. This is not supported by Notes. |
|

|
BTNDR9="Creating a recurring meeting with over 1200 instances cannot be supported by Domino. Please cancel and recreate the meeting with fewer than 1200 instances." |

To customize the text of a reason code add BTNDR##= to the Notes.ini followed by your custom text
Examples:
BTNDR30=This is a custom reason code, using the keyword for a room %ROOMNAME%
For reason codes requiring more than one line of text, append “.#” to the notes.ini parameter. As with BTMULTISCHEDREPORTTEXTx, \n and \t must be used to insert the end on the line of text and a tab (respectively). For example:
BTNDR29.1=first line of the reason code text\n
BTNDR29.2=the second line of the reason code text\n
BTNDR29.3=the third line of the reason code text\n
BTNDR29.4=the fourth line of the reason code text\n
There is no limit on the number of lines a message may span; however, there is a 64K size limit for all lines of text combined.
This section describes how calendar delegation behaves between Domino and Exchange, as well as what remediation options are available in CMTC.
There are two types of delegation; delegating a meeting to another person, and delegating calendar privileges to another person.
In Domino, you may delegate a meeting to another person by selecting Delegate under the Participant Actions dropdown menu. Although there is an option to be kept informed of updates, the act of delegating in this scenario general means that the original invitee is no longer invited to the meeting.
In Exchange, a similar result is achieved by forwarding a meeting to another person. In this scenario, the original invitee continues to be a full participant of the meeting.
Despite the similarities of these actions, the internal processing is quite different and it is not possible to achieve fully transparent functionality across platforms. The below table outlines the expected behavior of delegating/forwarding meetings in a Coexistent environment.
There are six different general scenarios for cross-platform delegation:
Notes Chairperson invites Notes User who delegates to an Outlook User
Notes Chairperson invites Outlook User who delegates to a Notes User
Notes Chairperson invites Outlook User who delegates to an Outlook User
Outlook Chairperson invites Outlook User who delegates to a Notes User
Outlook Chairperson invites Notes User who delegates to an Outlook User
Outlook Chairperson invites Notes User who delegates to a Notes User
For purposes of this document, the following terms will be used:
Delegator - the person who delegates a meeting to another user
Delegate - the person to whom the meeting is delegated
Integration for Notes can be configured to detect forwarded invitations from Exchange to Domino, and to return an NDR when found. This is the recommended behavior. This feature is enabled via the BTDelegateNDR parameter. The parameter accepts a value of Y or N, with Y being the default. Therefore, by default, this feature is enabled.
