Fetch your Novell GroupWise Calendar appointments, import them into one of your iOS device's calendars, and set up alerts to remind you of the upcoming events. This is a one-way sync from GW to iPhone. The app must be opened to fetch and import events. Requires GroupWise WebAccess account. To test how it works with your GroupWise server please try the free GW Check app first.

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 import events from GroupWise. By default (both numbers of days are set to 0) only the current day is imported. 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 imported if the corresponding option is enabled. They will be shown in blue color.

Import Automatically option removes the Import button and events fetched from server get imported into iOS calendar right away.

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 do not see any calendars available when trying to select a Target Calendar in Settings, go to the iOS Calendar app and create a new calendar there first.

Every time the app imports new appointments it updates the already imported appointments on the iOS device. Updates include appointment time, location, subject, notes, but not the original alert time. If an appointment was deleted in GroupWise, it will also be removed from the iOS device.

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.
