More Webex Productivity Tools Goodness

Hello again!

Following on from my last post, I have completed a more thorough inventory of the design elements which need to be unprotected or deleted in order to fully uninstall the Webex Productivity Tools from a Lotus Notes mailbox.

Here's the list:

Forms
_Calendar Entry

Shared Elements\Subforms
Wbx_subform

Code\Script Libraries
CSCalendarEntry
CSEventClass
CSEventNotes
CSUIViewClass

Further to this list, it is important to delete the "Database Script" from the mailbox.
To do this, expand the "Code" section, then right-click the Database Script entry and click delete.



Once you have completed the above tasks, you should be able to re-install the Productivity Tools successfully into the mailbox. Alternatively, if you delete the above design elements, you can then re-apply your mailbox's design (I prefer to use the "load convert -u" console command) and restore your mailbox back to your favourite template. You might even be able to create meetings! :)

Some other points to note:
  1. If it all goes horribly wrong, you might experience one of the following error messages on trying to create an email or a meeting in your mailbox. If you experience either of these errors, check that the above list of design elements are either unprotected or deleted.

    "Cannot find external name: SIGNENCRYPTPOLICY"

    "Error: Type mismatch on external name: CSEVENTNOTES"
     
  2. Cisco offer a tool called the LNI Admin Tool, which can be used to apply the Webex Productivity Tools design elements to multiple mailboxes. It seems to use a modified version of the "nconvert" Domino task to do this.

    I have no experience with using this tool, and would love to hear form anyone who has.

  1. You might want to steal a copy of the DXLMagic source code from OpenNTF. It shows how to dynamically inject code, you (re)applying the webex tools can be automated
