[Devel]: Fetching appointments from the calendar using libmapi

Evening List,

I've just finished to add a new test to the torture suite designed to
fetch calendar items from a user Mailbox. The torture test is named
OPENCHANGE-FETCHAPPOINTMENT and produce the output below. The dual
Outlook/smbtorture view is available at the following URL:

[Devel]: Fetching the contacts folder content using libmapi

Evening again list,

I've just finished to add a new test to the torture suite designed to
fetch the contacts folder content from a user Mailbox. The torture test
is named OPENCHANGE-FETCHCONTACTS. The dual Outlook/smbtorture view is
available at the following URL: 

http://www.openchange.org/images/openchange/libmapi/libmapi-fetch-contacts.png

It is not quite perfect for the moment, but it provides some basic
material for further investigations.

I've also been working on improving the emsmdb_get_SRowSet function used
by QueryRows and add a new way to handle the layout.

We do need tests against our current implementation to ensure I have not
broken any existing code with the recent modifications.

Cheers,

Julien.

Re: [Devel]: Fetching the contacts folder content using libmapi

I've just added a new torture test named OPENCHANGE-SENDCONTACTS which
create contacts entries on the Exchange server. For the moment I only
deal with few attributes (card name and full name) but will write a more
complete implementation when I start writing the stand-alone version.

Re: [Devel]: Fetching appointments from the calendar using libmapi

Evening List,

I've started to work on a OPENCHANGE-SENDAPPOINTMENT test designed to
create appointments in the user calendar. So far, I have a working
implementation; the element appears in the user calendar. In the
meantime, I'm trying to create an appointment, but so far I can only
create meetings ;)

The code is not yet on the SVN, cause I'd like to have a deeper look
tomorrow prior I commit the code.

Anyway here is a quick summary of what MAILOOK is currently able to do:
* fetch/send/delete emails
* create/delete folders
* create/fetch calendar *appointments*
* create/fetch contacts

I think we are on pretty good rails for the next release.

Cheers,

Julien.

Re: [Devel]: Fetching appointments from the calendar using libmapi

I've now working on enhancing calendar items creation. So far, I've been
able to add a couple of properties with all their associated values:

* if the event is a meeting or an appointment
* the busy status (out of office, free, busy ...)
* the appointment timezone

If everything goes fine, I should be able to add soon support for
reminder and recurrence.

In the meantime, I won't commit the sendappointment torture test until I
figure out a fancy way to set the appointment start and end date on
command line. This is IMO crucial so tests and following stand-alone
applications can be improved properly.

Choosing a inline date format similar to the ical one seems like a
proper solution to me, but I'm open to other solutions.

Cheers,

Julien.

[Devel]: Appointment creation with libmapi

Hi list,

I have added a OPENCHANGE-SENDAPPOINTMENT test to the torture suite.
This is just a draft for the moment, but so far we can customize the
appointment and set the following parameters:

- the appointment title and location
- start and end date on command line
- busy status (free, tentative, busy, out of office)
- the label (vacation, important ...)

We are also able to:
- set a reminder and reminder text
- set if the appointment is a meeting or not

In the meantime, we have a weird behavior with the calendar fetching
test. While appointment created on command line appears correctly in
Outlook with all the customized options, it seems like we have decoding
troubles with OpenMessage. I'm currently having a closer look at this
issue.

[Devel]: Fetch Tasks with libmapi

Hi List,

Here are some new improvements on libmapi. I've added a
OPENCHANGE-MAPI_FETCHTASKS test to the torture suite designed to fetch
tasks from Exchange. 2 new structures have been added to the IDL:
Support for multi valued utf8 strings and support for double values.  

Screenshot available here:

Cheers,

Julien.

Re: [Devel]: Fetch Tasks with libmapi

I've also added to the repository a basic OPENCHANGE-MAPI-SENDTASKS test
that create a task on the Exchange Server.

[Devel]: Problem provisioning openchange

G'day,

I'm trying to get an openchange build running on a Linux ia32 box (Fedora Core 6, gcc 4.1.1).
[Its an interesting looking project, and I have access to a spare exchange server to do some
testing on]

I started off building samba4 from svn (r22677, svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0).
I installed samba4 to ~/samba4-install.

I built openchange from svn (r162), and installed it to ~/samba4-install as well.

I then provisioned samba:
./source/setup/provision --realm=YOUR.REALM --domain=YOURDOM --adminpass=SOMEPASSWORD
set DOMAIN SID: S-1-5-21-498754213-151704894-4217135001
