kopano-set-oof not working (Out of office notification)

CE

Hi,

we tried to use the “kopano-set-oof” command, but got the following error:

root@office:/home/ce# kopano-set-oof --user rk --mode 1 --subject ‘Abwesenheit’ --message oof.txt
Out of office enabled for user ‘rk’
Setting new subject ‘Abwesenheit’ for user ‘rk’
Unable to set out of office subject for user ‘rk’
Current subject: No subject set
Setting new out of office message for user ‘rk’
Unable to set out of office message.

The autoresponder works, but only sends an empty email without subject and body text.

We are using:
Kopano-Core: 8.7.80

Appreciate your help, regards
CE

8.7.80

can you try updating to the latest available version and report back if the problem then still exists?

CE

We are on the stable upgrade repo:

https://serial:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@download.kopano.io/supported/core:/final/Debian_9.0/

If I do an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, the core will not upgrade, because the latest version is installed …

Regards,

@CE you may have our supported repo configured, but since you installed a nightly version first this one has a higher version number and therefore you don’t get updates out of this repository.

I would recommend to get in touch with our support to check how to best “downgrade” your installation to an official release.

i suggest, run apt-get dist-upgrade and show what it wants todo.

CE

@fbartels Thanks, will do that. Is this error fixed in the current stable version? I’am a little bit confused with the versioning between the community and the stable versions.

@fbartels I can confirm that the issue is fixed in version core: 8.7.3

I have setup a new test system with kopano version 8.7.3 from supported repos. Then I reimported attachments and database.

Now I get the following error:

If I use the --ignore-database-version-conflict switch the server starts up, but webapp is not loading and gives me further errors:

How can I safely downgrade DB-Version (8,7,80,0,118) to (8,7,3,0,118)? I think this question is also interesting for all people who try to switch from community to the paid version.

Appreciate your help …

Good to hear. I was sure that we fixed something in some 8.7.x for this, but did not make any recent test with it therefore I did not want to confirm before.

This is exactly why I have asked you before to get in contact with our support so that they can assist you with the downgrade. This is after all what you pay your subscription for.

Hello Forum,

long time since i was active in this forum, but i got the same error described here and i got some informations:

first of all, im using Kopano-server 8.7.3.0-3.1, lates build, updated on last saturday.
im using the kopano-set-oof script to set all kinds of oof-messages.
tried this today and it failed.

/bin/kopano-set-oof:282: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
  if oldmsg == msg:
Setting new out of office message for user 'my_user'  // user masked here
Unable to set out of office message.

i looked into line 282 and the comparison failed, caused by unicode/utf-8 comparison.
further i quoted the if-statement and went straigt for the actual SetProps:

            try:
              ##  here i deleted the if statement and his else-segment
               print("Setting new out of office message for user '%s'" % username)
               st.SetProps([SPropValue(PR_EC_OUTOFOFFICE_MSG_W, msg)])
            except:
               print("Unable to set out of office message.")

the error no shown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/kopano-set-oof", line 290, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/bin/kopano-set-oof", line 283, in main
    st.SetProps([SPropValue(PR_EC_OUTOFOFFICE_MSG_W, msg)])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MAPICore.py", line 290, in SetProps
    def SetProps(self, *args): return _MAPICore.IMAPIProp_SetProps(self, *args)
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation

the properties from file (msg):

/tmp/abwesenheit/<myuser>.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
                             : text/plain; charset=utf-8

since im not that deep into python, maybe someone know how to fix this…
or is this caused by python2.7<>python3?
i caught some posts about migration to python3 on some systems.

best regards
