To move or copy a folder from one workspace location to another, simply right-click the folder, and select Copy “[folder name]” or Move “[folder name]”. In the Copy [or Move] Folder window, select the new folder location, then click OK.
You can move a document from one location either in or outside of Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook to an Oracle Beehive workspace by using drag-and-drop, or cut-and-paste functionality. To copy a document, you can simply copy and paste, leaving the original document in place, with a copy pasted into an Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook workspace.
To move (drag and drop) a document into a workspace:
Locate and select the document you want to move, either within Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, or in another location on your system.
In Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, drag and drop the document (such as from Windows Explorer Folders view) into the workspace folder you select (such as Documents) in the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook folder list.
To move (cut and paste) a document into a workspace:
Locate and select the document you want to move, then use the Ctrl+X keyboard shortcut to cut the document from the current location. Optionally, in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, click the Edit menu, and select Cut.
In the selected workspace folder, use the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut to paste the document into the new location. Optionally, click the Edit menu, and select Paste.
To copy (copy and paste) a document into a workspace:
Locate and select the document you want to copy, then select the document and use the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut to cut the document from the current location. Optionally, in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, click the Edit menu, and select Copy.
In the selected workspace folder, use the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut to paste the document into the new location. Optionally, click the Edit menu, and select Paste.
You can periodically check the current storage space usage by looking at your workspace quota within Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook.
To check your current workspace quota:
In the Tools menu, select Workspaces, then Workspace Quota.
The Total Allocated Space, Used Space, and Free Space for the workspace is displayed.
Click Close.
To switch to offline mode in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, from the File menu, select Work Offline.
When connected to the network, Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook refreshs folders automatically based on notifications from the Oracle Beehive server whenever changes in data occur. However, whether you are online or offline, you can change settings such as how frequently synchronizations occur and which folder or folder items you want to synchronize.
For information on configuring offline settings and synchronizing between online and offline states, see the section “Working Offline” in the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help.
Note:
By default, Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook profiles are configured to synchronize both local and server data.To set up synchronization with Oracle Beehive using Outlook 2003, 2007,2010 or 2013:
From the Tools menu, select Send/Receive then Send/Receive Settings, then Define Send/Receive Groups.
In the Send/Receive Groups window, ensure that the Include this group in send/receive (F9) option is selected.
Optionally, if you want synchronization to occur at scheduled intervals (versus manual synchronization), then select the Schedule an automatic send/receive every option, and select a time interval in the minutes box.
Note:
In most cases, you will not need to manually synchronize your data because the Oracle Beehive server is configured to notify all Oracle Beehive clients and automatically reconciles changes.Select the All Accounts group and click Edit.
Optionally, in the Send/Receive Settings window for the selected group, under Account Options, choose from the following manual synchronization options.
If you want to only perform manual synchronizations, then select Refresh folder when notified.
If you want the refresh to occur in scheduled intervals then select the Refresh folder every option, and select a time interval in the minutes box.
In the Folder Options window, select the folders/items and their subfolders/items you want to synchronize, and set the synchronization levels for each item:
None: No items in the folder are synchronized.
Headers: Only item headers are synchronized. This option is only available for e-mail folders and document folders.
Full: All data, including attachments, for items in the folder are synchronized.
When finished, click OK, then Close.
From the Tools menu, select Options.
Click the Beehive tab.
Under Notifications, click Notify Options.
Clear the I want to receive notifications option.
Click OK.
From the Tools menu, select Expired Messages, then choose either Delete Permanently, or Clear Expiry Flag.
The search in Outlook with Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook is best performed with the Native Outlook Search functionality. It is the recommended search method and it does not use the indexing feature.Another option is to execute a search using Windows Desktop Search, if associated with Outlook, which depends on Windows indexing of all local data. However, Windows Desktop Search does not work effectively with Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook as the Windows indexing of the local Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook data is not done properly, which Windows Desktop Search depends on. Thus, Windows Desktop Search is not officially supported, and it is recommended to use the Outlook Native Search when performing instant search in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook. For more information on how to turn-off the Windows Search functionality in Outlook, see the Microsoft Outlook Help.
To execute a search in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook:
From the Tools menu, select Instant Search, and then Search Options.
Enter the search keyword in the search box in the top right-hand side corner in Outlook. Or, from the Tools menu, select Instant Search, and then Instant Search (or Advanced Find to specify advanced search options).
To run an effective search in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook:
The email message must be locally available for it to be searched on. In case you have reset an Outlook folder or created a new Outlook profile, make sure that all items in the folder are fully downloaded from the server before executing a search.
Select the appropriate search option from the Tools menu. The search may be limited if you are searching in a folder only and not in all Outlook folders. From the Tools menu, select Instant Search, and then select the appropriate search option.
By default all users on the system have limited access to your personal workspace. Each user has the rights to see when you are busy in your calendar and the rights to invite you to a meeting or to assign you a task. However, users do not have any sort of default viewing rights on any of your folders.
There are two ways of expanding the access another user or group has to your personal workspace. You can grant individual users or groups additional access rights beyond the default rights all users are provided with, or you can setup a user as your delegate. Adding additional access rights is useful for simple scenarios like wanting to give your manager and peers the ability to view the actual titles of meetings in your calendar. If you want another user to act on your behalf then you should set up that user as a delegate.
If you are an advanced user, you can change access for one or more users by assigning different access rights other than the default ones.
To change access rights:
In the Permissions tab of the Properties dialog for a selected folder (for example, your Calendar or Task list), select a user or group (or click Add to add a new user or group.).
Under the Permission Level column, click to select a different permission level (for example, select Reviewer to grant access to meeting details within your calendar).
Additionally, select the sensitivities the permission level should apply to (for example, you can grant a group the rights to view meeting details in your calendar by choosing the Reviewer permission level but deselect access to Private or Confidential meetings thus effectively only granting access to meeting details for meetings considered Normal or Public.).
Optionally, indicate if you want to allow the user or group to invite you to meetings.
Click OK to apply your changes.
Note:
You can click More to select additional options to fully customize the meaning of a permission level or sensitivity but their use is not recommended as these modifications may have undesired effects.
You can alter the default access for everyone by selecting and changing the access rights for the group labeled All Users. However, using this option is not recommended as this will affect all users.
It is not recommended to grant the Manage permission level to users or groups . If you want a user to be able to modify the contents of a folder (for example, manage your calendar), then setup that user as a delegate and grant Manage permission level to the delegate.
If you want someone to actually be able to work on your behalf then you should set that user as a delegate.
To set up a delegate:
In the Delegates tab of Outlook Options dialog, click Add to add a new user as a delegate.
Choose the permission level for each folder in your personal workspace (if you only want your delegate to be able to manage your calendar, select Manage for Calendar and Deny All for all the other folders, you do not need to give a delegate full access to everything.)
Alternately, indicate if the delegate can access items marked as Private (by default, the delegate will only be able to manage non private items.).
Finally, indicate if you want your delegate to be able to send emails on your behalf.
Click OK to apply your changes.
Note:
Granting a delegate Manage rights on a folder implicitly grants Manage rights on the Deleted Items folder. The delegate is restricted to being able to view the items types that they are allowed to manage. However, granting Manage rights on the Calendar does not give the delegate the rights to see deleted emails, the delegate must also have Manage rights on the Email folder.
Any delegates who have been granted access to items marked with Private sensitivity can access items marked as Private in addition to items with Normal, Public, or Confidential sensitivity levels.
If the grantor creates an email folder after the delegate role has been defined, the delegate can read documents (but not email messages) with all sensitivity levels (except for Private) in the newly created email folder.
In the Permissions tab of the Properties dialog for a selected folder (for example, your Calendar or Task list), you can customize the access rights of your delegate at the folder level but it is highly recommended that you only edit delegate rights using the delegates tab in the Outlook Options dialog.
The primary method for controlling access to a team workspace is the workspace membership list. By default, only members of a team workspace can access the workspace. All participants of a team workspace can view documents and email messages with all sensitivity levels except for documents marked as Private. Private entries can only be viewed by workspace coordinators.You can view or hide a team workspace that you own or are a member of in Outlook using the Manage Workspaces dialog. You can also use this dialog to create a new workspace or to alter the properties (including the membership list) of a team workspace.
You can explicitly block access to a team workspace folder for a member using the Permissions tab of the Properties dialog for a selected folder by setting the access permission level for the user to Deny All. None of the items in the team workspace folder are visible to a user with Deny All permissions.
Note:
From the Permission tab of the Properties dialog for a selected folder, the All Users group is not listed as it is when viewing permissions for a folder within a personal workspace.
Membership roles take precedence over any access rights assigned to a group, so any changes to a group will have no effect on members of the workspace as their role within the workspace will override any rights set at the group level. As such any access rights customizations must be done at the user level.
Although the Permissions tab of the Properties dialog for a selected folder can be used to customize access at the folder level it is highly recommended that you limit such customizations as they may have undesired effects.
This section includes the following troubleshooting topics and known limitations:
Why does my quota in the Folder Size option appear inaccurate?
Is Windows Desktop Search supported? (Why do some messages appear to be missing?)
What is the difference between Deleted Items and Trash folders?
What should I do if I suspect Outlook folder contents are not in sync with the server?
Why does my Global Address List show only some users and not the complete directory?
Why aren't my working hours that I changed in Oracle Beehive Central reflected in Outlook?
I don't see the Document Actions menu option. How do I check in/out [or lock/unlock] documents?
I moved/copied a document to the Public folder, but users cannot access it.
How do I upgrade my version of Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook?
I'm unable to send e-mail in Rich Text format in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook.
What is the limit for the number of attendees I can add to a Calendar meeting invite?
Can I view the e-mail MIME headers in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook?
Why am I unable to view/ modify a team workspace event with groups?
In Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, the Folder Size feature is designed to provide information on the size of data stored in the selected workspace. However, when selecting the Folder Size option within a workspace's properties, a dialog displays a list of folders and corresponding sizes, which may reflect inaccurate sizing information. A folder within the workspace may show an incorrect size, misrepresenting the actual total quota on the workspace.
To determine whether this issue may be present in your folders, perform the following check:
Create a new e-mail message, then attach a sizeable file (larger than 1 MB).
Address the message to yourself, and click Send.
After the e-mail is sent, verify that it appears in your Inbox folder and that the attachment is also present.
In your Folders view, right-click your workspace folder, and select Properties for My workspace...
In the Properties dialog, in the General tab, click Folder Size.
The Folder Size window appears, listing each folder in the workspace and corresponding sizes. Note that your Inbox folder size may appear incorrect.
When inaccurate quota information is displayed, on an Inbox folder for example, it is a misrepresentation of the actual space that the messages in the folder occupy. Folder size should reflect data stored on the server. However, an inaccurate folder size only represents the space occupied on a user's system.
Windows Desktop Search or Windows Search does not work effectively with Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook as the Windows indexing of the local Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook data is not done properly, which Windows Desktop Search depends on. So, Windows Desktop Search is not officially supported. The search in Outlook with Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook is best performed with the Native Outlook search functionality. It is the recommended search method and it does not use the indexing feature.There are many limitation when using Windows Desktop Search with an extension application such as Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook. When using Windows Desktop Search with Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, extensive user input is necessary, initiating a more complex search which can produce incomplete results and slower system performance. In Outlook 2007 or 2010, the Instant Search functionality does not properly reflect that all messages have been indexed. As a result, users will not know whether their search results are incomplete, due to un-indexed messages. Re-indexing may or may not provide the expected result with Windows Desktop Search in short term, but it is most likely to continue to generate incomplete results due to new messages which have not yet been indexed properly.
Occasionally, when the server is busy processing requests you may notice a pop-up message that appears above your system tray. The message notifies you of possible temporary delays in downloading new items from the server or delays in synchronizing/uploading local changes to the server. You can continue to use the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook without any issues while this occurs.
When you delete an item in Outlook, the item is moved to the Deleted Items folder. However, different applications use different folder names for deleted contents. If you delete an item in an IMAP application (such as Thunderbird), the item is moved to the Trash folder. The Trash folder is the default folder for items being deleted in Thunderbird, whereas the Deleted Items folder is the default folder for items being deleted in Microsoft Outlook.
Note:
If you have migrated to Oracle Beehive from the Oracle Collaboration system, then you may also see a folder called Deleted Items 1 which contains the items from your Oracle Collaboration Deleted Items folder.In general, upload errors occur when items could not be successfully updated on the server from Outlook. Upload errors are uncommon. However, in cases of intermittent network/server instability, these errors may occur more frequently. Other cases in which an upload error may occur may include when a meeting cannot be created due to a resource that was already booked.
Note:
See the section "How do I resolve a meeting scheduling error?" for more information on the upload errors due to booking conflicts with resources.The Upload Errors dialog appears when you encounter an issue. A synchronization icon is also displayed in the system tray. This dialog box can also be opened from the View, Upload Errors menu if you have an existing upload error. When you experience an upload error, first view the details provided for the error in this dialog. The Error Details section explains what operation could not be completed, and describes the cause for the error.
To view other available options, you can expand the Upload Errors dialog box (if not already expanded) by clicking More Options. From the items listed in the Upload Errors dialog box, you can begin to resolve the errors by taking one or more of the following actions:
Retry – Attempts to re-upload changes to the server. In some cases, this may resolve the issue and it will be removed from the issue list. If the reason for issue has not changed, then the issue will persist.
Discard – Reverses the change and removes the item(s) from the issue list.
Open – Opens the selected item(s) in question to allow you to view or make changes. If there is nothing to open in the issue, then no action results.
Most meeting scheduling errors are caused by booking conflicts with resources or in rare cases, inviting attendees who set the option not to be invited to any meetings. In the latter case, a system tray notification appears. Clicking the pop-up notification shows the upload error item in the Upload Errors dialog box.
From the Upload Errors dialog box, you can determine the cause of the issue for that meeting by viewing the Error Details section. If the cause of the upload error is due to a booking conflict with a resource, the Error Details section lists the name of the meeting causing the issue, and show the reason (in this case, which resource could not be booked), and provide ways to troubleshoot the issue.
Resource Conflicts – For issues with a resource conflict, try one of the following actions:
Move the meeting to another time when the resource is not booked.
Remove the resource from the meeting.
Note:
A new or updated meeting that results in an upload error is not updated on the server, and invitees (if any) have not received any meeting requests or updates.If you suspect that your Outlook folder or its contents may not be synchronized with the server (new messages or folders are not being downloaded, and/or modified, or moved messages are not uploaded to the server), then try the following actions to verify and correct the inconsistency:
Open Webmail – On a supported browser, open the Oracle Beehive Webmail application on the same machine to connect to Oracle Beehive. You should be able to verify the contents of the Outlook folder.
Note:
If no changes were saved to the server (not seen in Oracle Beehive Webmail), or if you are not seeing changes in Outlook that are present in Oracle Beehive Webmail, then try resetting the folders by checking folder Properties.Check folder Properties – If you have changes that have not been saved on the server, copy the items (cached locally) to a backup .pst (personal) file, then reset the folders:
Right-click the folder, and select Properties.
Click the Administration tab.
Under Folder Actions, click Reset.
After all contents are downloaded, copy the backup items in the server folder of Outlook.
Note:
If the folder and its content still appear to be inconsistent after the reset, then copy any changes you have made locally into a
.pst (personal) folder, then reset the Outlook profile. See the section “Modifying a Profile” in the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook client Online Help. After the profile is reset, copy the same local changes from the .pst folder back to your Outlook profile. You may want to contact your administrator for further assistance.The best way to reduce the quota usage is to archive old messages from your server folders into to a .pst (personal) folder by using Outlook's Auto Archive feature.
Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook provides administrators with an option to control what users/groups are initially downloaded to the Global Address List in Outlook. By default, all new (or migrated) users see only an initial list that includes their manager, peers, direct reports, and groups. Additional contacts are downloaded and added to the local Global Address List as required by the task, such as when users send and receive e-mail.
Note:
An administrator can configure Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook to enable the download of the full corporate directory to Outlook's Global Address List. For more information, see the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help.Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook does not currently synchronize with working hours stored on the Oracle Beehive server. Therefore, any changes you make to your working hours preferences in Oracle Beehive Central will not be reflected in the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook client.
The Document Actions menu option becomes available from the Actions menu only when versioning on the parent folder or workspace is enabled. Follow these steps to enable versioning on your selected workspace or folder. For more information, see the section “Configuring Versioning” in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help.
To set versioning on a workspace or folder:
Right-click the folder or workspace containing the documents you want to set up for versioning, and select Properties. If you select a workspace, the menu will show Properties for “Workspace - [name]”.
Click the Versioning tab.
Select the type of versioning you want to apply to all documents in the selected folder or workspace, then click OK.
Continue with steps to check in/out or lock/unlock your document as described in the section “Document Control and Management” in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help.
Moving or copying a document to the Public folder does not automatically make the document available to all users. To ensure other users can access your document, you must manually set the sensitivity on the document to Public.
Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook must be installed on the new operating system before your Microsoft Outlook will start. Download the latest version of the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook client from the Download Center on Oracle Beehive Central. See also the Beehive Central Help.
You will be notified when new software updates are available through your Windows system tray (lower right corner of your screen).
Check your Windows Task Manager for Microsoft Outlook processes that may still be currently running, and end those processes.
To end all Outlook processes to close Outlook:
Access your Windows Task Manager by using the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keyboard shortcut, then click Task Manager.
Click the Processes tab.
Select the OUTLOOK.EXE process, then click End Process.
Oracle recommends changing your Microsoft Outlook option for e-mail composition format from Rich Text to HTML.
From the Tools menu, select Options.
In the Options window, click the Mail Format tab.
Under the Message format section, choose HTML from the message format list.
Click OK.
All Rich Text formats will be converted to plain text using Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook.
You can create a meeting with up to 5000 attendees. The meeting can be either a single occurrence with the maximum number of attendees, or a recurring meeting totalling the maximum number of attendees at the end of the final occurrence. For example you may schedule a recurring meeting with 100 occurrences each with 50 attendees.
Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook does not use MIME to display e-mail in Microsoft Outlook, nor use IMAP/SMTP to submit e-mail to the server. Rather, Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook uses a proprietary Oracle/Beehive XML type encoding as payload of all its data between the client and the server.
If you need to access detailed MIME data, you can obtain header information by pointing an IMAP client to the same e-mail account. You can also use the Message Source option from the View menu to view email source as MIME as well as XML. The MIME format shows the header information for the message. Check with your system administrator if you need further assistance.
When adding a resource calendar to your list of calendars that you frequently access, other folders are added automatically in the folder list under that resource, such as contacts, tasks, inbox. However, by default, you do not automatically have access to the content in those folders.
You must be added as a team member to a workspace in order to access any of its content. Check with the team workspace owner to be sure you are added as a member and granted access to that workspace.
When attempting to add a group (by typing group's e-mail) as an attendee to an existing team workspace event, the team workspace e-mail appears as an external attendee with no corresponding event in the team workspace calendar. Similarly, when an existing event is viewed in a team workspace calendar, no team workspace attendees are shown in the attendee area.
Note:
If you are not a member of a team workspace, how you view and modify team workspace events may be different, depending on which time management application you are using. (This process occurs using any Oracle Beehive-supported time management application, whenever the user is not a member of the team workspace.)The following is a summary of behavior in the Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.7 release:
If user is a member of team workspace, it is possible to view/modify team workspace event with groups in the team workspace calendar. A team workspace member can create a meeting in the team workspace calendar with team workspace as attendee either by typing the e-mail address of the team workspace or by name. Also, it is possible to create a meeting and invite TeamWorkspace.Participants group in the team workspace calendar. In both cases members of the team workspace receive meetings invites in their Personal Workspace and view meetings under the team workspace calendar folder.
A user who is not a member of team workspace, cannot access the team workspace calendar. If this user receives a meeting invite containing team workspace or TeamWorkspace.Participants group he is not a member of, the user will see a dialog with the message The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found.

Bug 8857650. In a specific scenario, when a particular type of folder containing over 1000 e-mail messages was copied, only the first 1000 messages were copied. However, regular documents in the folder were retained and unaffected.
Bug 8369097. When a delegate, who had been granted manage all access privileges to the grantor's workspace folders, is removed, the delegate may still have access to these same items in the delegator's workspace. This may still occur regardless of attempts to refresh or reset the folder list for the delegator's workspace.
Bug 8317248. If a document is opened in the Preview pane, changes made in other clients, such as being locked/unlocked, or checked out/checked in do not appear. To view changes made by others, click Actions, select Document Actions, and then Redownload This Document.
Bug 7457652. Whenever the start date is changed on a recurring meeting or all day event, a Withdrawn notification is generated.
Bug 8850503. A synchronization error may occur, preventing messages from being updated on the server properly. This could be caused when the server and client folder identification numbers no longer match.
Bug 8912534. An error is displayed when users attempt to save or accept rescheduled meeting invitations received as an iCal attachment from external calendar systems.
Bug 8923584. This issue occurs in Outlook 2007, (though may not be version-specific) when messages in the Inbox are configured for Send/Receive with headers only. Attachments may not be visible in new/unread messages received as part of an ongoing e-mail conversation after being moved to a sub-folder.
Bug 8742680. Workspaces that had been deleted were appearing in other subscribed users' folder list. A detection method is added to see whether a workspace is still accessible, and remove the workspace from the view if necessary.
Bug 8694016. An error occurs in attempting to move a mail folder tree from a personal workspace to a team workspace, when the folder and its sub-folders have messages that have not been downloaded.
Bugs 9052450, 8499009. An indexing error introduced in a related issue from a prior version of Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook may cause an installation failure upon deployment.
Bug 9033200. The Flag Message dialog appearing in a Server-Side Rules Wizard remains in English despite Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook user working in an environment using a language other than English, such as French or German.
Bug 8901210. Within a specific directory protocol, Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook users are unable to locate other external users' e-mail addresses using the Find feature in the Global Address List (GAL).
Bug 7352536. Items contained in users' Contacts sub-folder may disappear. This occurs when the last category appearing in the list is collapsed.
Bug 12530248. Provide check box option for setting up an online conference in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook.
Bug 12781035. Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook cannot export subfolders under deleted items to a .pst file. Only the top-level folders are exported.
Bug 9263581. The size of an e-mail message may appear unchanged even after attachments are removed from that message. This is unexpected, as the message size should be updated after attachments are deleted.
Bug 9283631. In specific cases, this issue occurs after migrating to Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook from Oracle Connector for Outlook. When replying to, or forwarding messages migrated from Oracle Connector for Outlook, the message may get stuck in the Outbox in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook. As a result, the stuck message also prevents all subsequent messages in the Outbox from being sent.
This issue only impacts users who were originally running Oracle Connector for Outlook, and who backed up messages into an external .pst file that were, at some point, replied to/forwarded using Oracle Connector for Outlook. Additionally, these messages, which may have been backed up from the Sent Items folder (or any other folder containing such sent messages), were then later migrated to Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook.
Bug 9167912. Anti-virus software periodically and repeatedly displays warnings when certain e-mail messages include an attachment that contains a virus. Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook must provide users a way to quickly identify which e-mail messages are prompting these anti-virus warnings.
Bug 9262800. Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook must provide an efficient method for controlling concurrent writes to the same Oracle Beehive service.Currently, Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook allows up to three writes to occur concurrently, without a method of preventing writes to the same Beehive service. This occurs when users import data from another system, or perform another type of bulk operation. This concurrency can cause unexpected server-side issues, as additional writes can consume limited resources.
Bug 13698306. Meetings not created in OBEO do not have Propose New Time enabled.
The Propose New Time option is available from the right-click context menu to allow an invitee to propose new time for a meeting.
Bug 13431048. OBEO login screen sets the focus to the hostname field instead of the password field.
Bug 13082244. Always make sure that Outlook with OBEO shuts down properly. It prevents the scenario where the Outlook process is stuck and fails to terminate by itself and cause issues in following sessions.
