Abstract: Fix for problem with url links of the Exchange 2000 Portlets

Description/symptom of problem: Click on any of the links (whether it be Mail/Calendar/Notes/Tasks/Contacts portlet) to edit the details.You can see that it instead of showing the details of the url, it is directed to a different url.

(for eg: Clicking on a contact to modify the details of the particular contact- You will be directed to a different portal url rather than the details page).


NOTE:  YOU MUST FIRST DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE INSTALLER TOOL IN ORDER TO INSTALL A FIX.
       The WebSphere® Portal Update Installer (PUI) can be downloaded from the following link:
       http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&uid=swg24006942

*Reminder: the version of PUI used varies based on the version of WebSphere Portal.  Ensure the correct version is in use.*

1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file:
             Unix™: <WP_root>/fix
          Microsoft® Windows®: <WP_root>\fix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere Portal

4) Follow the Fix installation instructions that are packaged with the Portal Update Installer on how to install the Fix.

5) Restart WebSphere Portal

6)Go to the config directory of Portal through command prompt, i.e for example wp_root/config (where wp_root is the install directory of portal)

7)Run the script wpsconfig action-update-exchange3-portlet -DPortalAdminIdShort=PortaladminId -DPortalAdminPwd=PortalAdminPasswd.(Please give the administrator userid
and passwd of the Portal in place of PortaladminId and PortalAdminPasswd)


6) The temp directory may be removed.


Directions to remove a Fix:

NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
       ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be
          removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.


1) Shutdown WebSphere Portal

2) Follow the instructions that are packaged with the Portal Update Installer on how to uninstall the Fix.

3) Restart WebSphere Portal


Additional Information:
The Exchange3.war file with the fix would be copied into the installableApps folder of the Portal.
Two xml scripts to redeploy the war file would be copied, one into the config/includes folder and other into the config/work
folder of the Portal.
