Import Contacts via BATCH ?
Hi all,
is there a way of importing contacts per user via a batch-mechanism in 2005Q4 ?
we've searched around how contact import/export is done via UWC but could not really figure out how this is done by sun. There are lots of JS functions and forms submitting all the data to itself using POST methods, but we could not find the actual function that handles the import.
So my question is if Sun provides a meachanism for contacts as used for their calendar interface wcap.
thanks in advance for any hints
cheers

Yes. Sun provides a script to migrate contacts from the old style PAB (messenger express) to the new style addressbook (used by UWC).

You can modify user entries directly using LDAP since the UWC addressbook is stored in an LDAP server. It should be straight-forward to write a script which reverse-engineers the structure of the UWC PAB LDAP entries - that way you can import any style of contacts into the UWC PAB assuming there is an appropriate mapping of values.
