Option for importing holidays into your HCL Notes calendar from an ICS file

In HCL Notes you have the possibility to import holidays from the Domino Directory where the holidays for each country can be centrally managed. This is a great idea !!

But I receive multiple requests from customers if it´s possible to import holidays from ICS files directly into your HCL Notes Calendar.

If you think that it would be great to have this option feel free to vote for this idea: https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/NTS-I-1408

Right now I received a helpful hint from Oliver Busse that you can import ICS files not within an action but with the “normal” import function of HCL Notes ( File / Import ) and switch over to Calendar File (.ics ):

User registration issue – “Mail Address not unique”

Today I had the following issue at customer site ( German LP ):

The customer has embedded the AD via Directory Assistance. We created a new AD account and entered the mail address for some sync options.

01_AD-Account

Afterwards we tried to register the user in the Domino Directory and received the error message, that the Internet Address is not unique and therefore we couldn´t register the user.

02_User-Registration

Then we removed the mail address from the AD account, rebuild the XDir with a
“sh xdir r” and then we could register the new user without any problems.

So it seems, that during the registration process also via DA embedded directories are checked for duplicate Internet Addresses. I created a case @HCL – if I receive any informations I’ll update this blog entry.

UPDATE: I received the information from HCL Support that there´s an enhancement request which has been made public: https://bit.ly/30qOunW

VoP 2.0 – Issue

Last week I installed VoP 2.0 on multiple domino environments. In one environment I faced the issue that I always received the following error message when opening the locally installed VoP Web Client:

“Unable to load folders over network”

I took a look at the Developer Source in Google Chrome and could see the following error messages among other entries:

  • folderController error: Folders are not available, folder controller promise rejected for unknown reasons., SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘<‘
  • Error occurs when fetching folder data: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘<‘
  • Failed to get offline user context when load applications from appregsitry SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘<‘

After opening a case @ HCL I received the very helpful entry for the NOTES.INI:

DOMINO_FORCE401_WITH_HTML_LOGIN_PAGE=1

After setting this NOTES.INI entry and restarting the HTTP server everything was running fine. Thanks a lot for the quick and helpful support to HCL Support ( especially to Sudhir Kunale who was working in this case ).
