Router and the cc:Mail Mobile Address Book

Subject: Re: ccMobile address book
Author: Ron Herardian ay GSS

The correct file to send to the Mobile user is an export of their own home PO directory with the parameter "/directory/prop." The hub should appear as a 'p' in the Mobile directory after Import or ADE processing. Exporting the hub directory is a common error.

The way the Router works when running against a hub PO is by accessing the user's home PO files directly, thus all other POs should appear as 'p' entries in the Mobile directory and there should be exactly 1 'P' PO entry which is the user's own home post office. HUBPASS allows the user to specify the hub PO name instead.

The Router either gets the user's home PO name from the Mobile client and looks up it's cc:Mail address in the hub directory, or in the case of HUBPASS, looks up the user name, gets his or her PO name then looks up the PO and gets it's address. Once the Router has the address of the user's home PO it simply accesses the PO database files.

Note that this only works for type 1 Router connection (file access) and does not work for type 2 (Router-to-Router) connections (although that would be nice).

There are two ways of fixing this:

1) Turn off hub pass on your dial-in's. The you can send the ccmupdat and they will recieve there correct dial-in post office request. I.E. they will request there actual po instead of the HUB. You will probably need to walk them thru deleteing and re-adding the HUB post office as a directory entry.

2) Manually edit the CCMUPDAT file and change their address to the HUB. its a text file ) then send it to them. If you do this you must remember to change there address back before sending the address file to anyone else. if you have a lot of users this will get old REAL quick.

I'm having difficulty processing the ccmobile address book correctly. To create it, I run export /n /p /d /directory /prop (from the users local po) - this creates the ccmupdat file, which I then mail to the mobile user.

The problem is that when the user processes the updates, it creates two 'P' entries - one for the hub, and one for the users local po. I then have to change the hub entry to point to the local po, so that the user can send mail.

Any ideas?
