Introduction

This guide is intended for Microsoft Exchange administrators who need to install the WebLogic Exchange Service to provide connectivity from the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration to Microsoft Exchange.

Note: Use of the WebLogic Exchange Service supports connecting to Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003. If you are running Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003, you can use the WebDAV for connectivity to Microsoft Exchange; therefore, the WebLogic Exchange Service is not required to be installed.

Refer to the Oracle WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration Setup Guide for more information on the differences between connecting to Microsoft Exchange via the WebLogic Exchange Service or via WebDAV.

This chapter contains the following sections:

 


Prerequisites

Before you install the WebLogic Exchange Service, perform the following steps:

  1. The WebLogic Exchange Service installation program requires a Java run-time environment (JRE) to run. You must have an appropriate version of a Java 2 SDK installed on your system, and include the bin directory of the Java 2 SDK at the beginning of your PATH system variable.
  2. Note: It is important that you use an SDK because the installation process sets the JAVA_HOME and related variables to point to this directory.
  3. The MAPI subsystem must be installed on the WebLogic Exchange Service machine. For more information, see Installing the MAPI Subsystem in Installation.
  4. Refer to the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration Supported Configurations Guide for more information on specific platform and OS combinations of Microsoft Exchange.
