LO40151: DAMO - NEW OUTLOOK TASK CREATES A NOTES TO DO DOCUMENT WITH INCO RRECT "REQUIRED" OR ASSIGNEE FIELD

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• A New Task created using DAMO creates a Notes To Do document
  with incorrect "Required" or assignee field.
  
  User creates many To Do documents and assigns them to people to
  complete.
  The name of  the user that creates the Task/To Do should go in
  the Owner field - chair, principal.
  The name of the user that it is assigned to should go in the
  AssignedTo  field - AltRequired.
  
  
  
  ENVIRONMENT :
  Running 8.5 Notes Client with Outlook 2007
  
  DAMO 8.0.2 IF4.
  
  
  
  
  - The customer provided screenshots of recreate scenario:
  
  
  Uploaded to SPR attachment db.
  
  
  Also uploaded to FTP Server and stored in ECuRep:
  
    /ecurep/pmr/3/6/36614,227,000/36614.227.000damoerror.doc
  
  
  
  - When I create the task and assign it to someone, the recipient
  of the
  task does not get notified.  If I look at the task in Notes it
  shows as
  the creator ( Owner ) as me, and the person it is assigned to (
  
  Required ) as me also.
  
  The Required field should be the user I assign the To Do / Task
  to.
  
  
  1. Create a new task using DAMO
  
  2. Select / Assign Task
  
  3. Enter Assignee data
  
  4. Press send.
  
  5. When you go to Notes to view the task, you see the following
  
  
  
  Tasks created using DAMO has the wrong name in the Required
  field
    ( note using fake user names here )
  
    Owner : Tom Smith( sent by Rebecca )
  
    Required :  Tom Smith/Acme@Acme
  
  
  
  Tasks created with Notes client shows correct name in the
  Required field
    Owner : Tom SMith
    Required : Amanda Public/Acme@Acme
  
  
  THEORIES :
  
  incorrect field mapping by DAMO
  
  
  Could not recreate on Notes, or at IBM with DAMO and Outlook
  2003
  
  Business Case :
  Admin/customer very interested in using DAMO
  
  Management are heavy Outlook users - they want to switch to
  Exchange servers
