Description

Fetch your Novell GroupWise Calendar appointments. Requires GroupWise WebAccess account. It shows only the first and last appointment for the selected range of dates. Use this app to test how a more capable GW Import app works with your GroupWise server. If you have connection problems, please email support@hydrogen-bond.com with information about your GW and iOS versions and problem description and we will see what we can do.

To configure the app you need to provide your GroupWise server address which typically ends with gw/webacc path and username. If you provide the password it will be stored securely in your iOS device's keychain. If you leave the password field blank, you will be asked for password each time the app is restarted.

Use Days To Fetch values to define a range of days for which to get events from GroupWise calendar. By default (both numbers of days are set to 0) only the current day is loaded. If using Groupwise 7 you need to increment Days Ahead by 1 to work around GW7 bug. If the app does not show all the events you expected to see try setting Fetch All option in Groupwise Calendars selection. If that helps you may have defined rules in Groupwise that move events into subfolders in calendar. Not yet accepted appointments can be fetched if the corresponding option is enabled. They will be shown in blue color.

If you get "connection error" status when configuring the app for the first time, please first check server address and then try turning on the "Ignore SSL Warnings" option in Settings. If that resolves the problem, then your server most likely is using self-signed SSL certificate. In that case you can contact your GroupWise admin to see if a properly signed SSL certificate can be installed or continue ignoring the SSL warnings.

If you have other connection issues or the app does not fetch any appointments and you are on GW 7 or GW 6.5, try disabling Time Zone Support in the app settings.

If you experience issues with time for fetched appointments, try setting time zone to fixed instead of workstation in WebAccess Time Zone options (using desktop browser and choosing graphical and not basic interface at login) and disabling Time Zone Support in the app settings.

If you have other issues, please contact support@hydrogen-bond.com with information about your Groupwise version, description of the app settings you use and we will try to work it out.
