Problem/Query:

I have requirement to enable OOO profile programmatically for users who left the organization, so I wrote a below lotusscript to code to achieve this. But when I ran this code OOO profile document is not getting updated in UI and auto-reply is not being sent.

Anyone has any idea what I’m missing here?

Set oooDoc = mdb.GetProfileDocument(“OutOfOfficeProfile”, “”)

oooDoc.Form = “OutOfOfficeProfile”

'Define OOO Settings and Dates

Dim dtLeave As NotesDateTime

Dim dtReturn As NotesDateTime

Set dtLeave = New NotesDateTime(Now) 'Set start date

Call dtLeave.AdjustMinute(5)

Set dtReturn = New NotesDateTime(Now) 'Set return date

Call dtReturn.AdjustYear(2)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“FirstDayOut”, dtLeave)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“FirstDayBack”, dtReturn)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“ShowHours”, “1”) '1 = Specify Hours

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“StartTime”, dtLeave)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“EndTime”, dtReturn)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“GeneralSubject”, “Out of Office”)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“AppendSubject”, “”) '1 = Append return date to subject

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“GeneralMessage”, “I am away…”)

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“ExcludeInternetEmail”, “”) '1 = Don’t exclude automatically reply to mail from internet addresses

Call oooDoc.ReplaceItemValue(“CurrentStatus”, “1”) '1 = Enable, 0 = Disable

Call oooDoc.ComputeWithForm(False, False)

Call oooDoc.Save(True, False)

'Only now enable OOO service

Call mdb.SetOption(DBOPT_OUTOFOFFICEENABLED, True)

Hello @gourav.aggarwal,

You can refer to the KB Article below and check “Out of Office Diagnostic” to review why some OOO Profiles does not get updated. Also, profile documents are set from the back-end and not automatically updated from the front-end UI. If you still have issues with your code, you can open a support ticket with HCLSoftware Support.
