12 Configuring Shared Calendar Name Format

The default Oracle Communications Connector for Microsoft Outlook calendar name format consists of a long and confusing name format, which is used to avoid name clash in Outlook.

The default, or legacy format, resembles the following:

Calendar - owner - calendar name(cal ID)

You use the SubscribedCalendarNameFormat (hidden) configuration attribute in the Connector for Microsoft Outlook configurator's .ini file to configure the value. It is stored in the following Windows registry key:

HKCU\Software\Sun Microsystems\Outlook Connector\Subscribed Calendar Name Format

The configuration attribute resembles the following:

SubscribedCalendarNameFormat=%u-%n

SubscribedCalendarNameFormat=legacy

where:

%u - %n
%u: Refers to the calendar owner name
%n: Refers to the calendar name (calendar ID, if no calendar name)
legacy: Specifies the default value (the format prior to patch 13)

Note the following restrictions on the configuration value format:

Cannot use any other separator characters.
%n is mandatory.
An invalid configuration reverts to the legacy format.
The default value for the registry attribute is legacy.
The configuration does not apply to the host folder name.

In the following examples:

sub: subscribed
cal: calendar
calname: calendar name

Example 1: "%u - %n"

Host folderName : sub cal owner name - sub calname

Sub cal folder name : sub cal owner name - sub calname

Sub Tasks folder name: sub cal owner name - sub calname - Tasks

Example 2: "%n"

Host folderName : sub cal owner name - sub calname

Sub cal folder name : sub calname

Sub Tasks folder name: sub calname - Tasks

Example 3: "%n - %u"

Host folderName : sub cal owner name - sub calname

Sub cal folder name : sub calname - sub cal owner name

Sub Tasks folder name: sub calname - sub cal owner name
 - Tasks
