LO49672: USING DWA7 TEMPLATE IN 8.5.X CLIENT CAN CAUSE DUPLICATE CONTACTS WHEN SYNCHING

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Using the DWA7 mail template in the Notes 8.5.1 Standard client,
  can result in
  duplicate contacts when Synching.   In this case, both options
  were used:
  - The 7 template agent, Actions > Synchronize Address Book
  - and the 8.5 replication option to "Synchronize contacts"
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  - use mail file with DWA7 template in the 8.5.1 standard client
  and configure
  location document to point to it
  - In preferences, enable "Synchronize contacts on the
  Replicator"
  - Sync with replication
  - Then use the agent in the mail template:  Actions >Synchronize
  Address
  Book.   If this agent is run more than once, each time contacts
  will duplicate
  in the local address book.
  

Local fix

• Use just the Agent to Sync Address Book

Temporary fix

Comments

• This APAR is associated with SPR# JSTN83ERZY.
  This is a caveat that needs to be technoted.    For mail
   template older than mail8.ntf, users need to use the iNotes
   action regardless of the Notes client support for syncing as a
   replication option.
