Limitations and Restrictions
IBM Lotus Notes Displays Dates In U.S. English Format
IBM Lotus Notes displays dates only in the U.S. English format when any English language is selected.
G.729a Encoded Voice Messages Cannot Be Played
Cisco Unified Messaging with IBM Lotus Sametime plays only voice messages encoded with G.711.
MWI on Phone Does Not Change to Reflect Message State
For environments with Cisco Unity and IBM Lotus Domino as the message server, IBM Lotus Sametime does not communicate changed message states so that Cisco Unity can change the message waiting indicator (MWI) on the phone. For example, the new-message light on the phone will not turn off after the message is played from IBM Lotus Sametime.
Deleted Message Folder Is Not Supported If the Mail Store Does Not Support UIDPLUS
If the mail store does not support UIDPLUS, Cisco Unified Messaging with IBM Lotus Sametime does not support a folder for deleted messages that is separate from the Inbox folder. Voicemail in a folder for deleted messages on this message store has the following limitations:
•Moving voice mail to a folder for deleted messages does not turn off MWIs.
•IBM Lotus Sametime Connect shows the deleted voicemail by using the Deleted filter, but the telephone user interface (TUI) lists the deleted voicemail as saved messages.
•Voicemail in the folder for deleted messages cannot be deleted or purged.
Update Sites
IBM Lotus Sametime does not support simultaneous updates from multiple update sites. Selecting more than one update site and trying to install a feature will cause a NullPointerException.
