LO74736: CHAIR RECEIVES AN ACCEPT REPLY FROM A REMOVED ATTENDEE AND VIEW INVITEE STATUS SHOWS REMOVED ATTENDEE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a chair removes an attendee on device, the chair receives
  an accept reply from the removed attendee and "View Invitee
  Status" shows removed attendee under an "Unknown" category.
  Here are the steps to recreate:
  1)  (Notes) UserA creates a meeting and invites UserB and UserC
  2)  (device)  UserA removes UserB before UserB accepts the
  meeting
  3)  (device)  UserB syncs device
  4)  (Notes) After a 2 minute delay, the chair receives an
  accept reply from UserB.
  5)  (Notes) If the chair selects "View Invitee Status", User B
  will be displayed in an "Unknown" category.
  The reason "View Invitee Status" does not work is due to
  Traveler not maintaining the "Uninvited" field on the meeting
  document.  This fix changes Traveler to maintain this field for
  non-repeating meetings only.  Support for repeating meetings
  should be included in the next release with support for EAS
  14.1.
  The reason the chair is getting the Accept reply from the
  removed attendee is because Traveler autoprocesses any previous
  notices.  Traveler must accept the original notice in order to
  allow that attendee to be re-added in the future.  This fix
  changes Traveler to not send the Accept reply to the chair even
  though it is accepted by Traveler automatically.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Notes Traveler autoprocessing will accept the notice then remove
  them.  This generates the extra accept notice when an attendee
  is removed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Notes Traveler server has been updated to handle this
  scenario.
  

Temporary fix

• This fix is available in Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 2
  Interim Fix 2 and will be included in all future releases.
