Article ID: 109987

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway for IBM PROFS and OfficeVision 3.4



This article was previously published under Q109987

SYMPTOMS

In version 3.4 of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision Host Access, if two Free/Busy distributions from the same postoffice are in the Calendar Service Machine (MS-CSM) reader, the second distribution is usually rejected back to the LAN. The following error message is displayed:

OUT of Sequence Error

CAUSE

If Free/Busy updates are scheduled on the LAN in 15 minute intervals and there is heavy traffic, then two distributions may be queued for the host on any given upload. This may also happen if the gateway is halted for ANY reason. When the MS-CSM machine sends the distributions to the MS-CAL machine, MS-CAL cannot return confirmation of the first distribution before processing the second. The following error message is displayed:

OUT of Sequence Error

and all LAN data is refreshed.

RESOLUTION

The resolutions are as follows:

  1. Schedule LAN distributions at intervals of 30 minutes or more.
  2. Direct the customer to a Microsoft Mail for PC Networks Gateway Support Professional.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in MicrosoftMail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision Host Access version 3.4.
