XFOR: Preserving Personal Address Books (PAB) during Upgrade or Re-installation (169775)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Linkage Connector to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision 3.2
- LinkAge Message Exchange 3.2
This article was previously published under Q169775 SUMMARY
LinkAge Connectors use the MAPI Personal Address Book service for storing
any required temporary proxy addresses. These are stored under
C:\LINKAGE\TABLES\*.PAB
or wherever the root is.
When you upgrade or re-install, it is important that these .pab files do
not get deleted if you do not want to lose any previously generated
temporary proxy addresses. You should also back these files up from time to
time.
A Personal Address Book (PAB) is created for each of the Linkage
connectors. This is because, in theory, certain addresses such as X.400
addresses for a Sender or Passive Recipient, can exceed the capacity of
cc:Mail and Notes to directly represent them and therefore may require a
map through the Exchange PAB. However, in practice, this seldom happens.
