About this task
Configuration of
user calendars has the following prerequisites:
To configure
user calendars for Microsoft Exchange
Procedure
- In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications
> Administration > System-Wide > Calendars Management.
- Click the User Calendars tab.
- On the User Calendars Configuration
panel, enter the following:
- External User Calendar—Select
Microsoft Exchange from the drop-down list.
- External host name or IP—Enter
the URL for the Exchange e-mail server; for example,
main.mail.server.com
.
To use a secure connection to the server, you must specify a server
URL starting with https://. Otherwise, the http protocol is used
by default.
- Email User Attribute—This
is the attribute from User attribute page that is used to pass the
e-mail account name to the server to identify the correct user calendar
on the Exchange server. The default value
email
passes the
e-mail address entered on the Edit User page; in most cases, this
is the information required by the server. If this value does not
work, consult with your mail server administrator to determine the
required value. In this case, you must define a new dynamic attribute
at the role level and configure it to pass the required information.
- Calendar Data Caching—This
value specifies how often the user calendar information is retrieved
from the mail server. Select a value from the drop-down list. The
information is cached in IBM My webMethods Server until the next refresh time. Select
No Cache to retrieve the calendar information from the mail server with
each request.
- Time Window —This
value specifies the calendar time period that is retrieved from the
mail server, beginning with today's date. Select from the drop down
list.
- Time Slot—This
value defines the time divisions displayed in the user calendar. Events
that are of a shorter duration than the selected value are "rounded
up" to the selected value. Select a value from the drop-down list.
- Exchange User—The
user name for connecting to the Exchange server.
- Exchange User Password—Password
for the Exchange user.
- Click Update.
- In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications
> Administration > System-Wide > User Management > Users.
- Click the User ID link
to open the Edit User panel.
- Click the Calendar tab.
The calendar appears in the User Personal Calendar panel.
