Improving interoperability for users of calendars in email applications other than Notes®

Starting with HCL Notes/Domino 10.0.1, meetings scheduled between HCL Notes® and Microsoft™ Outlook have built-in preservation compatibility, so that you would need to configure compatibility mode only if your Outlook users require the more complicated repeating meeting actions available in Notes described later in this topic.對於會與 Notes 使用者交換邀請的非 Notes 電子郵件應用程式的使用者而言，相容模式可確保防範重複會議中發生資料遺失情形。

Compatibility mode is a feature that can significantly improve interoperability between users of Notes® calendars and users of other calendars in your organization. Compatibility mode ensures against data loss in repeating meetings for users of non-Notes email applications who exchange invitations with Notes® users. as the Domino® administrator, you enable and configure the feature on three subtabs of the Client Detection tab in the mail policy. The Basics subtab is where you enable compatibility mode, while the Domain Mapping and Client Settings subtabs allow you to associate email applications with domains in the organization and specify interoperability of calendar features for the different applications.

Due to differences in repeating meeting architecture, several of the more complicated repeating meeting actions in Notes® cannot be interpreted by Outlook/Exchange and other non-Notes email applications. Using a combination of the settings previously described helps avoid such cases by handling the set of actions allowed on repeating meetings.

相容模式限制的重複會議動作包括：

從 Notes/Domino 10.0.1 開始，具有 Internet 位址的 Microsoft Outlook 使用者如果收到來自 Notes 使用者的重複會議邀請，將不會遺失資料（能夠接收複雜的MIME），而無需在郵件設定策略中設定任何互操作性設定。在郵件原則中，相容性模式設定將顯示為已停用（您無需更改它），並且「客戶端偵測」>「客戶端設定」標籤上的「以豐富資料形式傳送邀請」和「將豐富數據保留為htm 附件」是預設已開啟。

自訂重複會議：相容模式並不允許自訂重複會議。

Note: If you decide to change the default settings, all of the information in the following section applies for you - you will need to configure settings on the Basics, Domain Mapping, and Client Settings subtabs on the Client Detection tab.

搭配使用相容模式與用戶端偵測及網域對映，您可以在組織中微調 Notes 及非 Notes 電子郵件應用程式使用者對重複會議的體驗。 As the Domino® administrator, you can use settings on the Client Detection page of a mail policy to make the option available to the chairperson.Manually control compatibility mode with checkboxSome invitees use other mail programs如需相關資訊，請參閱建立郵件原則設定文件的指示。

Repeating meeting actions that compatibility mode limits include:

Rescheduling, updating, or canceling more than one instance of a meeting at a time -- Non-Notes applications do not support rescheduling multiple instances, which is how Notes® sends out a reschedule of all instances. Except in the case of Outlook, when in compatibility mode, Notes users must select the "Just this instance" option in the "Change repeating entry" dialog box, leaving the Some invitees use other mail programs enabled. With Outlook, when in compatibility mode with the "All instances" option configured, "Some invitees use other mail programs" does not display. Notes users can select "All instances," and their change is automatically sent to Outlook users as multiple invitations.
Custom repeating meetings -- Custom repeating meetings are not allowed in compatibility mode. If custom repeat settings are specified before compatibility mode is enabled, and a user then selects the Some invitees use other mail programs option, the user sees the message You cannot use this option when a custom repeating meeting is specified. The user has the option of canceling the current repeating meeting settings in order to specify new non-custom repeat settings, or saving no changes. In either case, the custom settings are ignored.
Weekend rules -- Only the default Don't Move weekend rule is allowed on repeating meetings. If weekend rules are specified before compatibility mode is enabled, and a user then selects the Some invitees use other mail programs option, the user sees the message You cannot use this option when weekend rules for a repeating meeting are specified. The user has the option of canceling the current repeating meeting settings in order to specify new repeat settings with no weekend rules, or saving no changes. In either case, the weekend rules settings are ignored.
Tip for Outlook: For the cases of custom repeating meetings and weekend rules, when Notes users are sending invitations to Outlook users and get the "cannot use" messages above, another option is for them to remove the Outlook invitees from the initial invite and manually add them to each instance later. This approach preserves the additional capabilities for Notes users; for example, a Notes owner of a custom repeating meeting can reschedule all instances and the Outlook invitees will automatically get individual invitations for each instance.

By using compatibility mode in combination with client detection and domain mapping, you can fine-tune the experience of both Notes® and non-Notes email application users in your organization with repeating meetings. On the Client Detection page of the mail policy, the Compatibility mode setting Detect compatibility mode from attendee addresses works with settings on the Domain Mappings page to associate specific domains with non-Notes email applications.
