SUMMARY

When you are troubleshooting the Calendar Connector for Lotus Notes, it is very difficult to find problems encountered when Notes users are trying to find Free/Busy information for Exchange Server recipients. Most of the processes in Notes are handled by server tasks. This article will describe a procedure to enable detailed logging on the Notes server console to assist with troubleshooting Notes to Exchange Server Free/Busy transactions.


MORE INFORMATION

  1. Stop the Notes server.


  2. Find and modify the Notes.ini file for the Notes server. By default, it will be the Winnt directory.


  3. Add the following line to the very end of the Notes.ini file:


    4. debug_sched_all=1
  4. Save the Notes.ini file.


  5. Restart the Notes server.


After restarting the Notes server, all activity by the Calendar Connector (a Lotus Notes Server task) and, subsequently, the Exchange Calendar Connector (an Exchange Server task) will be sent to the Notes server console. Note that the logging activity will reduce the overall performance of the Notes server. The debug_sched_all parameter should not be set to 1 unless you need to troubleshoot the Exchange Calendar Connector.
