SAP MAPI

[Jaeger, Carsten (Calgary)]

We are using SAP MAPI in our environment for AP Invoice Approvals and =
CATS Timesheet approvals.  User education has been the primary obstacle. =
 Depending on your settings (default 4 hrs) a prompt will appear in =
Outlook asking user whether or not they want to maintain connection to =
SAP.  If they choose no, then refresh of their work item list won't =
happen until they either do it manually or logout and go back into =
Outlook.  Also experience a few problems with Outlook 2000 users, users =
of RIM Blackberry devices and other occassional glitches, but for the =
most part our environment is quite stable.  Haven't run up against the =
200 user limit that I am aware of.  cj
