Use

Microsoft Outloook Thick Client for Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 allows users to display Microsoft Exchange data in an iView in SAP Enterprise Portal.

 

 

Integration

The Outlook Thick Client iView connects to the Exchange server using the Outlook installation on the desktop of the user and displays the user's e-mail. calendar, and task data. This allows users to view and reply to e-mails.

This iView uses only HTML and JavaScript.

 

Prerequisites
  • Users have installed Microsoft Outlook 2000 or above on their desktop
  • You have installed Microsoft Exchange 5.5 SP4/2000/2003.
  • There is a connection between the machine being used to access the portal and the relevant Exchange server

The Active-X control has been installed and configured appropriately . For more information, see Installing and Configuring the Active-X Control .

Note  

The ActiveX control precludes the need for users to log on to the Exchange server in order to view Outlook information. However, as this method uses the Outlook installation on the user's desktop for authentication and to retrieve information from the Exchange server, it only works on desktops where the user's Outlook profile is active.
