Reply To: Accessing Address Book

[Support 1a]

Thank you for your question above.

Unfortunately, accessing every entry in the System Address book can be very slow given a sufficiently large number of entries. Other factors may also affect access times, including network infrastructure, loadings, etc.

Address Book access can also become slower as more entries are read from the server. This can give the impression the process has hung.

One thing you could try is to access the System Address Book using the native Object API approach. Instead of accessing GroupWise.AdressBooks, (which gives you a ‘wrapped’ address book collection), try GroupWise.Account.AddressBooks. This gives you access to the native Object API address book collection. Click here to see Novells AddressBooks collection documentation. Access from this point is much the same as your example code. As this collection is not wrapped, access may be faster.

Formativ 1.6 does not natively support the AddressBook name completion control (the control that provides the functionality in the ‘To’ fields in the email view). However, the next version of Formativ does support the use of this control. Please send an email to support@advansyscorp.com if you would like more information in this regard.
