We have a .NET application which has a Lotus Calendar like functionalities where in you can invite meetings, set reminders, to do tasks, etc.
I need to implement a process where in, if a user sets a Meeting in his/her Lotus Calendar that meeting invite should be then copied to the database of the .NET application.
The problem I am facing is, where should I do the required coding for this as there is a huge user base and making changes in each user’s mailfile seems not a long term feasible solution.
I am not sure if I can have a centraly location web service or so. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Subject: Copying a Lotus Calendar entry to a .NET app. Database.
Either an extension manager or modifying their mail template could accomplish this. That is, if the company is okay with this.
In the extended mail template, there are a series of events that fire when an meeting is saved, or rescheduled, etc.
It appears to me that the Lotus mail template developers put in a function to act as a hook to do allow you to do something after a document in the mail db is saved.
In the script library called “Common”, see this function:
CSExtAppDocSave()
You can try adding your code there to “copy the note” over there, iff it is a c&s item, and meeting any particular conditions necessary
However, I have had a need to do something post-save in the past and found that this function did work properly for all my cases. I ended making my own similar function (same args), and attaching it in the necessary events throughout various notes client and notes web mail functions. (It might have been that this function is a pre-save rather than a post-save event, but I do not recall).
