This sounds like an incomplete installation of either GroupWise or Formativ (incomplete class string messages usually indicate a required component is missing from the PC). Did you use ZEN to rollout either the GroupWise client or Formativ?

In either case, I would suggest you manually re-install the GroupWise client, then Formativ, and try again.

Thank you for your questions:

1) LDAP can be used regardless of whether the Netware client is installed. Specify the protocol to use (NDAP or LDAP) in the Formativ Control Panel applet.

2) This is an area that requires better documentation. The LDAP support in Formativ is LDAP 3 complient, and all parameters follow that standard.

b) This depends on your server configuration. LDAP URLs provide a uniform method to access information on an LDAP server. Defined in RFC 2255, LDAP URLs begin with the prefix ldap:// or ldaps://. The following provides the syntax and descriptions of an LDAP URL.

ldap[s]://:/????

The lowest common denominator which works is the IP address of the server.

c) Certificate is the full name and path of the certificate file on the local PC. You may specify either Base 64 (B64) or DER certificates. The certificate can reside anywhere, as long as the client has acess to it on startup.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you require any further assistance.

Up until GroupWise 6.5, there were no facilities available to third parties that allowed the appearance of messages in a message list to be changed.

GroupWise 6.5 introduced category support, which allows you to change the color of items based on category. It would be possible to write an applet that assigned items to a particular item based on it’s official state, and have the color change accordingly. The same applies to message notes. (As message notes are custom fields, you can add the message note field to the message view and see the first line of the note in the client).

Another solution might be to build a custom message list view using Formativ portals. This option gives you full control over the view, but represents the most work.

I hope this information is useful.

Markus has been contacted directly regarding this issue.

As far as I am aware, no GroupWise client API’s allow the message header to be modified. As Formativ works almost exclusively with client APIs, I don’t believe Formativ is going to help in this regard.

It might be possible, but I suspect this would have to happen at the GWIA(?). You may be better off directing this question directly to Novell.

Thank you for your question. The current version of Formativ does not include step debugging facilities. This is due to an architectural idiosyncracy of GroupWise and Formativ. However, step debugging will be included in the next major release (no release timeframe is currently available).

There are a couple of techniques you can use to help in debugging applets though. Perhaps the most usesful is the trace method. Trace() writes a string out to any attached debugger, allowing you to watch the flow of a script.

For example, including the following line in an applet:

Call Utilities.Trace("This is a trace line")

results in the text “This is a trace line” being output to any attached debugger. I would recommend DebugView from SysInternals.

I hope this helps.

I have sent via email an applet that might be of interest to you. The ‘Save Incoming Attachments’ applet saves attachments from incoming message from a specific user. Copy the applet to your local applets directory, then re-start GroupWise. You need to change a couple of constants in the applet to specify the sender details, etc, so you’ll need to be using Formativ Developer or Admin to do this. Instructions on what you need to change are included in the comments area at the top of the applet.

If other users would like a copy of this applet, please send an email to support@advansyscorp.com.

This fix was incorporated in the 1.5.9 release, which is available from the downloads page.

Yes. Have a look at the /rs and /rso switches in the ‘Windows Installer’ topic in the Formativ Distribution Kit documentation.

This feature has a high priority in our enhancement database, and will most likely be made available some time after Brainshare SLC.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have entered both into our enhancement database. They won’t make version 1.6 (due for release at Brainshare SLC), but will be considered after that.
