Initial Extract of Microsoft Exchange Contact Records
SSSE has a configurable parameter called OnlySyncCategorizedContacts that can be set to TRUE or FALSE to suit your business requirements. This Boolean parameter setting determines whether or not Initial Extract operations synchronize Microsoft Exchange contact records that have the Category field set to a specified value. For information on specifying a value for the OnlySyncCategorizedContacts parameter, see Tuning SSSE Siebel Profile Parameters. If the OnlySyncCategorizedContacts parameter is set to FALSE, all the user's Microsoft Exchange contact records are considered for synchronization. By default, this parameter is set to FALSE. Table 6 shows how SSSE handles Microsoft Exchange contact records during an Initial Extract when the OnlySyncCategorizedContacts parameter is set to FALSE. If the OnlySyncCategorizedContacts parameter is set to TRUE, then, in order to be synchronized during an Initial Extract operation, Microsoft Exchange contact records must have the Category field set to a value that matches the Siebel setting called PIM Category Value. (The default value for the PIM Category Value setting is Siebel Contact). For more information about how SSSE handles Microsoft Exchange contact records during an Initial Extract when the OnlySyncCategorizedContacts parameter is set to TRUE, see Table 7.
