SYMPTOMS
========

The Outlook client will fail to obtain free-busy data for the GroupWise custom
recipients by means of the Calendar Connector.

The Novell GroupWise API Gateway may log the following to its logfile:

03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: WPPO
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: WPU
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: CDBA
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: 
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: WPPO
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: WPU
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: CDBA
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown keyword: 
...
03-15-99 14:38:51 Unknown destination in address string: WPD= GWDOMAIN
...
03-15-99 14:38:51 Error building the GroupWise message

The API Gateway will place the .API file in the API\GWPROB directory. The file
will look similar to the following:

WPC-API= 1.2;
MSG-TYPE= Search;
Msg-ID= AALHJNKA:1999.3.15.14.38:1999.3.22.14.38:1999.3.15.19.38.45;
From= 
   WPD= GWDOMAIN; 
   WPPO= API; 
   WPU= BRIANCL001-SA; 
   CDBA= GWDOMAIN.API.BRIANCL001-SA; ; 
To= 
   WPD= GWDOMAIN; 
   WPPO= GWPO; 
   WPU= GWUser2; 
   CDBA= GWDOMAIN.GWPO.GWUser2; ; 
Begin-Time= 15/3/1999 14:38 +0;
End-Time= 22/3/1999 14:38 +0;
-END-

Line 006 Unknown keyword: WPPO
