Hello,
Our application retrieves meetings from
Room&Reservation database in Domino. Apart from rooms attending the meeting we need to retrieve other human attendees in the meeting. But we found that meeting properties do not have “RequiredAttendees” property. We want to find out if and how this property can be retrieved from RoomReservation database.
Thanks.
Subject: doesn’t record that
There are two ways a reservation gets into the R&R database - directly or from a calendar invitation.
If a user is putting in the invitation directly, they are not asked to include attendees, so that would not be on the reservation.
I wasn’t sure about when it is coming from a calendar, so I just checked ours out. It appears that the message sent to the R&R database to reserve the room doesn’t contain the other attendee information either.
What both of these do contain is the Chair of the meeting. I suppose you could write a script that would get the Chair’s name, open his mailfile, find the matching calendar invite (if there is one) and read the attendees from there.
Subject: Correct but
you could try using $CSCopyItems and see if that helps. It is meant to allow you to have the C&S code include your own items on docs sent ot R&R (and is one of our best kept secrets I think). It may do what you want but if not, you can use it to get the data there.
Of course that will not help for the direct booking cases. We still strongly suggest that users not do direct bookings in the R&R dB but we realize there are times when direct bookings are needed (in large part because changes made entries on their Calendar are NOT updated in the R&R dB w/o them having to remember to go and do it and most do not remember to do so.)
