Upgrading Your Calendar Database

If you have Calendar Server 6 installed, with Berkeley DB version 3.2.9, the conversion to the current 4.2 version will be done automatically. You do not need to run any other database migration programs.

If you have a Calendar Server 5 installation that uses Berkeley DB version 2.6, you must upgrade your calendar database to version 4.2. using the cs5migrate utility. The utility is available upon request from technical support.

If you have an existing Calendar Server 2 installation, you must upgrade to Calendar Server 5 before you can migrate to the current release.

The cs5migrate utility performs the following tasks:

In addition, if the -r option is specified, cs5migrate creates master and exception records for all recurring events and tasks. Going forward these records will be automatically generated by Calendar Server. If you need to migrate your database but do not plan to use the Connector for Microsoft Outlook, you do not need run cs5migrate with the -r option.

Contact technical support for the download location and documentation for either utility.

Caution

If your site has an earlier version of Calendar Server that is configured for limited virtual domain mode or has multiple instances of Calendar Server on the same machine, contact your Sun Microsystems, Inc. sales account representative for an evaluation of your migration requirements and to ensure that you have the specific migration utility that supports those requirements.

And, as always, never migrate your database without first performing a full backup

Directory Server Performance

To improve the performance of your LDAP directory server, especially if you are using calendar searches of the LDAP directory consider the following items:

Indexing the LDAP Directory Server Attributes

To improve performance when Calendar Server accesses the LDAP directory server, add indexes to the LDAP configuration file for various attributes.

The configuration program, comm_dssetup.pl, will optionally do the indexing for you.

To see the performance difference indexing can give you, perform the following test:

  1. Enable calendar searches of the LDAP directory server by making sure the following parameter in the ics.conf file is set to “yes”:

    2. service.calendarsearch.ldap = "yes" (Default)

  2. Run the following LDAP command:

Tests have shown that with 60,000 entries, the above search took about 50-55 seconds without indexing icsCalendarOwned. After indexing, the above search took only about 1-2 seconds.

For more information about adding directory server indexes, refer to the Sun Java System Directory Server 5 2005Q4 documentation at:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1316.1.

Checking and Setting the Size Limit and the Look Through Limit Parameters

To determine if the Look Through Limit (nsslapd-lookthroughlimit) and Size Limit (nsslapd-sizelimit) parameters are set to appropriate values, try the following command:

ldapsearch -b "base"
"(&(icscalendarowned=*user*)(objectclass=icsCalendarUser))"

where, base is the LDAP base DN of the directory server where the user and resource data for Calendar Server is located, and user is the value that an end user can enter in the Calendar Express Subscribe > Calendar Search dialog.

If the LDAP server returns an error, the nsslapd-sizelimit or the nsslapd-lookthroughlimit parameter might not be large enough. Follow these guidelines to set these parameters:

Communications Express Using Schema 1

The issue with Schema 1 in Communications Express is:

Provisioning Tools

There are two tools for provisioning users, groups and domains for Calendar Server: The Delegated Administrator Utility and Calendar Server utilities. For information on Delegated Administrator, see the Sun Java System Communications Services 6 2005Q4Delegated Administrator Guide. For information on the Calendar Server utilities, see the Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

Note

Do not attempt to provision users through the Access Manager Console. Though it is possible to create users and assign them a calendar service, do not use this method as results will be unpredictable and negatively impact your deployment.

Calendar Server 6 Documentation

Calendar Server 6 includes the following documentation. Part numbers are in parentheses.

Calendar Express 6 2005Q4 Online Help is available with the Calendar Express software. Communications Express 6 2005Q4 Online Help is available with the Communications Express software.

Compatibility Issues

The following table lists the known incompatibilities between Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 and earlier versions.

Table 8  Compatibility Issues

Incompatibility

Impact

Comments

Access Manager now has two install types: Enhanced and Compatible.

At installation, you must choose Compatible as the install type on the following panel:

Access Manager: Administration (1 of 6)

If the wrong Access Manager is installed, you will not be able to run Delegated Administrator.

The Directory Preparation Tool (comm_dssetup.pl) under /opt/sun/calender/sbin doesn’t work.

comm_dssetup.pl is now in its own package installed in HP-UX /opt/sun/comms/comcli/dssetup/bin for Solaris

To install the package, be sure the Directory Preparation Tool is selected in the appropriate installer panel.

The configuration program for the Delegated Administrator has changed

Install Delegated Administrator and run the configuration program. The current program is located for HP-UX at: /opt/sun/comms/comcli/sbin/config-commda

Upgrade to the new Delegated Administrator when installing this version of Calendar Server.

This release of Communications Express is incompatible with the 2004Q2 version of Calendar Server.

If you upgrade Communications Express, you must also upgrade Calendar Server.

This also applies to Messaging Server.

Known Issues and Limitations

This section describes the known issues and limitations of Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 for HP-UX.

The following topics are the known issues and limitations:

Installation

Calendar Server installation fails in absence of nobody user and nobody group in the system (6290338)

Calendar Server installation fails if user nobody and group nobody is not available in the system.

Workaround

The system administrator has to create the following before installing Calendar Server using Java Enterprise System installer:

Security

Calendar DB files are created with the wrong permissions (6291250)

Anyone with access to the system has the potential to view private calendars and events due to wrong permissions.

Workaround

To overcome this security issue,

  1. Install the Calendar Server using Java Enterprise System installer.
  2. Once the installation succeeds, execute “umask 022."
  3. Run the Calendar Server configurator.

Calendar server log files world writeable by default (6291057)

Log files are created in the wrong mode 644 or 640, instead of mode 666.

Workaround

To overcome this security issue,

  1. Install the Calendar Server using Java Enterprise System installer.
  2. Once the installation succeeds, execute “umask 022."
  3. Run the Calendar Server configurator.

Limitations

The following section topics are the limitations:

Removing all Instances of Multi-Valued User Preferences

Each set_userprefs command removes only one instance of a multi-valued preference.

Workaround: To remove all instances of a multi-valued user preference, you must issue one set_userpref command per instance. For example: Perform a get_userprefs to list all of the user preferences. If there are multiple values for a preference, such as icsSubscribed, then you must issue one set_userprefs command to delete the preference for each of the values listed.

For example: Perform a get_userprefs to list all of the user preferences. If there are multiple values for a preference, such as 1csSubscribed, then you must issue one set_userprefs command to delete the preference for each of the values listed.

Finding Installed Patches in a Clustered Environment

There is no cluster specific showrev command that will show what is installed on the individual nodes of the cluster. (This is a generic problem, not just Calendar Server specific. You would run into the same difficulty with any product installed on a global file system.)

This is a problem when you want to update Calendar Server. You need to apply the patch to every node where Calendar Server was already installed. In addition you can’t apply the patch to a node if Calendar Server hasn’t already been installed on it. If you don’t know which nodes have Calendar Server installed and which do not, at the least, it will be confusing and cost you time trying to discover where Calendar Server is installed.

Workaround: Run the following command to see all of the nodes where Calendar Server is installed: pkgparam -v SUNWics5 | grep ACTIVE_PATCH

Pop-up Blockers

Certain Calendar Server windows will not display if you have a pop-up blocker enabled.

Workaround: Disable pop-up blockers for the Calendar URL to ensure all Calendar Server windows will display.

Exception: Neither the Norton Inet Security AD_BLOCKER nor the Mozilla built-in POP_BLOCKER will affect Calendar Server windows.

Provisioning Users for Communications Express in Schema 1 Mode

The csuser utility does not enable users it creates for Address Book.

Workaround: Enable the user using ldapmodify.

Multiple Domains (Hosted Domains)

The configuration program, csconfigurator.sh, configures only a single domain.

Workaround: If you need a multiple domain calendar environment (called either Virtual Domains or Hosted Domains), you must do two things:

  1. Enable hosted domains.
  2. Add the domains yourself using Delegated Administrator, or the csdomain utility if you are still using Sun LDAP Schema 1.

Reported Problems

The following is a list of problems reported on the product as of Beta.

Table 9  Reported Problems

Bug ID

Problems

4526765

Calendar Server utility cscal will not add more than two owners to a calendar at a time, no matter how many are specified in the command.

4958242

When a user modifies an event and chooses the option to modify today’s event and all future events, all previous events are deleted and will no longer display in the UI.

5019977

SSL initialization fails in SSLv2 mode. Unable to make use of SSLv2 client.

5060833

If you start a process (such as enpd) and then disable it in the ics.conf file, when stop-cal is issued, the system will not stop the disabled process.

Workaround

Re-enable the process in the ics.conf file and then issue the stop-cal command. After all processes are stopped, then disable any processes you do not want running before issuing start-cal.

6179278

Hot backup log file not being purged per ics.conf settings as other log files are. To keep file to a minimum, decrease verbosity. (verbosity level 3 is the default).

6186298

In Schema 1 mode with hosted domains, if the DC tree is missing or improperly provisioned, calendar utilities can fail. You must create the DC tree nodes prior to creating or otherwise managing calendars.

6216869

If DWP is disabled while the DWP process is running, stop-cal will not stop it. stop-cal should stop all services rather than just those enabled.

6216877

Vague error message. In a hosted domain environment, if the basednpassed tocsdomain does not exist. The actual message received is: “FAIL: icsLdapServer: Null argument to function.” This type of error message is vague because the error message originates several levels down and could be caused by many different circumstances. Rather than just passing the error through, the higher level program should interpret the error message before bubbling it up to the next higher level.

6219126

Leading white space stripped from description field when stored in calendar server.

6219906

In virtual domain mode, if maillookup is configured in the ics.conffile, a WCAP error is returned. Fixed in patch 1. Fix: In virtual domain mode, maillookup is ignored in favor of ugldap in the ics.conf file.

Workaround

Comment out the maillookup parameters in the ics.conf file.

6221452

SSL can not be enabled or disabled on individual hosted domains. (RFE)

6221999

The error messages given by csdomain are vague and need to be more explicit.

6265287

Trusted circle SSO fails when authentication filter is configured in calendar.

6269721

csresource -k option defaults differently depending on if you include it blank or just omit it.

6269822

Incorrect default ACE listed for resources in csresource merge.

6274603

External organizers get one reply per instance for recurring events when the attendee accepts all.

6274607

Import command puts in wrong organizer email address if organizer is external.

6274892

cscal -v list does not work.

6275605

csstored.pl not reporting warnings when there are more than two log files in the live calendar database.

6277086

Need a way to turn off local.user.authfilter for proxy authentication.

6355890

CSHTTPS hangs without error message if local.ldap.cache.homedir.path folder is invalid.

Workaround

Change the local.ldap.cache.homedir.path to a valid folder name in ics.conf file and restart the services.

6371072

func_events test shows difference in output. DTEND value is not shown in the output message of wcap command

Services

Hotbackup error message printed out on Calendar Server restart (6373819)

Calendar Server Hotbackup throws an error message on standard output while starting csstored daemon

Workaround

  1. Stop the csstored daemon. Use the following command: <install-location>/calendar/sbin/stop-cal
  2. Navigate <install-location>/calendar/lib. Open csstored.pl file using the following command:

    3. vi csstored.pl

  3. Go to the line number 216
  4. Change eq to ==
  5. Save the csstored.pl file
  6. Start the csstored daemon. Use the following command:

    7. <install-location>/calendar/sbin/start-cal

Communications Express Known Issues and Limitations

This section contains a list of the known issues with Communications Express 6.

The Configurator Tool for Communications Express does not support the’Unconfigure’ option (5104756)

The Communications Express Configurator does not allow you to undeploy, remove files at the time of configuration, and remove files created during runtime.

Workaround

To unconfigure Communications Express:

  1. Remove the Communications Express package. For example on HP-UX type:

    2. swremove sun-uwc

  2. Remove the deploy directories
  3. Remove the WEBAPP entry from Web Server or Application Server server.xml file

Few softlinks are missing and creation of incorrect directory names with respect to Chinese locale(6376282)

Install UWC, and apply the work around before running UWC configurator.

Workaround

  1. cd /opt/sun/uwc/lib/config-templates/WEB-INF/domain
    1. mv zh_CN zh-CN
    2. mv zh_TW zh-TW
    3. ln -s ./zh-CN zh
    4. ln -s ./zh-TW zh-tw
  2. cd /opt/sun/uwc/lib/config-templates/WEB-INF/domain/defaultps
    1. mv dictionary-zh_CN.xml dictionary-zh.xml
    2. mv dictionary-zh_TW.xml dictionary-zh-TW.xml
    3. ln -s ./dictionary-zh.xml dictionary-zh-CN.xml
    4. ln -s ./dictionary-zh.xml dictionary-zh-cn.xml
    5. ln -s ./dictionary-zh-TW.xml dictionary-zh-tw.xml
  3. cd /opt/sun/uwc/lib/config-templates/WEB-INF/ui/html/abs
    1. Repeat the steps as in Step a to Step e.
    2. mv dictionary-zh_CN.xml dictionary-zh.xml
    3. mv dictionary-zh_TW.xml dictionary-zh-TW.xml
    4. ln -s ./dictionary-zh.xml dictionary-zh-CN.xml
    5. ln -s ./dictionary-zh.xml dictionary-zh-cn.xml
    6. ln -s ./dictionary-zh-TW.xml dictionary-zh-tw.xml
  4. cd /opt/sun/uwc/help
    1. mv zh_CN zh-CN
    2. mv zh_TW zh-TW
    3. ln -s ./zh-TW zh-tw
    4. ln -s ./zh-CN zh

      5. Execute the configurator, then access the UWC page in Chinese locale (that is with browser locale set to zh, zh-CN, zh-TW). You will find that displayed correctly.

How to Report Problems and Provide Feedback

If you have problems with Sun Java System Calendar Server, contact Sun customer support using one of the following mechanisms:

So that we can best assist you in resolving problems, please have the following information available when you contact support:

To assist in reporting problems, Sun provides the capture_environment.pl tool, a Perl script that captures the current Calendar Server environment, including the ics.conf file, log files, calendar database files, platform information, and core files (if available). These files can be useful to Calendar Server development to debug problems.

To run the capture_environment.pl tool:

  1. If necessary, download the capture_environment.pl tool from customer support.
  2. If necessary, install Perl and add it to your path. (If you cannot install Perl, see the instructions in the capture_environment.pl file that describe how to manually create a snapshot of your Calendar Server environment.)
  3. Log in as (or become) root.
  4. Run the capture_environment.pl tool. The tool copies the files to a directory named archive_directory. On UNIX systems, it places all files into a tar file named tar_file. On Windows 2000 systems, however, you must manually add the files in archive_directory to a Zip file.
  5. Send the tar file or Zip file to customer support.
