    RueLane Friday, June 09, 2017 8:15 PM

    This release contains updates made to protocol documents since the last release.

    The following known issues exist in the June 2017 release:

    • Underscore characters are not always visible in code in the PDF files, depending on the magnification selected by the user. Those characters are present in printed versions of the PDF.
    • Information in a table row may split across two pages.
    • Table borders are not always visible, depending upon the magnification selected by the user. Borders are present in printed versions of the PDF.
    • Cross-protocol links are functional only when the PDF files for all the cross-referenced protocols are in the same folder.

    Note: Links in the PDFs do not resolve in Adobe Reader 9 because Adobe has changed the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9. To access such links, perform the following procedure:

    • In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.
    • In the Categories list, click Documents.
    • Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

    Exchange Server Protocol Test Suites Release -- November 2012
    Tom Devey - MSFT Monday, November 05, 2012 10:31 PM

    The Office Interoperability team is pleased to announce the release of the Exchange Server Protocol Test Suites. The test suites are designed in a client-to-server relationship and were originally developed for the in-house testing of the Microsoft Open Specifications. The test suites have been used extensively during Plugfests and Interoperability Labs to test partner implementations and are now available on MSConnect for public download. Test suites test the server-side implementation of the Open Specification protocol, as specified in Open Specification documentation, by acting as a synthetic client.

    Currently the Exchange Server Protocol Test Suites support the ten RPC based Exchange protocols listed in the table below. Want to learn more about the Test Suites? You can watch a video from one of our recent events that provides an overview of what is included in the test suite package. As always, if you have any questions or issues please reach out to the support team in this forum or through Email at dochelp (at) microsoft (dot) com.

    Download
    The Test Suites are openly available (with Microsoft account) on MSConnect and are contained within the “Microsoft Open Specifications Test Tools” program. All you need to do is to simply "join" the program and go to the downloads page to get access.

    Exchange Protocol Test Suites Supported Protocols
    [MS-OXCFOLD]: Folder Object Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCFXICS]: Bulk Data Transfer Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCMSG]: Message and Attachment Object Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCPERM]: Exchange Access and Operation Permissions Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCPRPT]: Property and Stream Object Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCROPS]: Remote Operations (ROP) List and Encoding Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCRPC]: Wire Format Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCSTOR]: Store Object Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCTABL]: Table Object Protocol Specification

    Outlook PST File Format Documentation Announcement
    Chris Mullaney Wednesday, November 04, 2009 7:40 PM
    A number of people have inquired about the .pst file format on this forum in the past, and at that time we stated we would provide an update if the .pst file format specification becomes available. This week we announced our documentation plan for the .pst file format specification on the Interoperability @ Microsoft blog,. If you are interested in actively participating in the review of preliminary drafts of the .pst file format specification, send an email message to pstinfo@microsoft.com and then we will contact you when a preliminary draft of the specification is ready for broader review. If you only are seeking the final version, we anticipate releasing the .pst file format specification in the first half of 2010 under our Open Specification Promise.

    SQL Server Release Notes - June 2017
    RueLane Friday, June 09, 2017 8:15 PM

    This release contains updates made to protocol documents since the last release.

    The following known issues exist in the June 2017 release:

    • Underscore characters are not always visible in code in the PDF files, depending on the magnification selected by the user. Those characters are present in printed versions of the PDF.
    • Information in a table row may split across two pages.
    • Table borders are not always visible, depending upon the magnification selected by the user. Borders are present in printed versions of the PDF.
    • Cross-protocol links are functional only when the PDF files for all the cross-referenced protocols are in the same folder.

    Note: Links in the PDFs do not resolve in Adobe Reader 9 because Adobe has changed the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9. To access such links, perform the following procedure:

    • In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.
    • In the Categories list, click Documents.
    • Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

    Additional details on changing the setting are located on the Adobe help site: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3E0E8467-B787-4020-A1D3-6BC762A42DF2.w.html

    Exchange Server Protocol Test Suites Release -- November 2012
    Tom Devey - MSFT Monday, November 05, 2012 10:31 PM

    The Office Interoperability team is pleased to announce the release of the Exchange Server Protocol Test Suites. The test suites are designed in a client-to-server relationship and were originally developed for the in-house testing of the Microsoft Open Specifications. The test suites have been used extensively during Plugfests and Interoperability Labs to test partner implementations and are now available on MSConnect for public download. Test suites test the server-side implementation of the Open Specification protocol, as specified in Open Specification documentation, by acting as a synthetic client.

    Currently the Exchange Server Protocol Test Suites support the ten RPC based Exchange protocols listed in the table below. Want to learn more about the Test Suites? You can watch a video from one of our recent events that provides an overview of what is included in the test suite package. As always, if you have any questions or issues please reach out to the support team in this forum or through Email at dochelp (at) microsoft (dot) com.

    Download
    The Test Suites are openly available (with Microsoft account) on MSConnect and are contained within the “Microsoft Open Specifications Test Tools” program. All you need to do is to simply "join" the program and go to the downloads page to get access.

    Exchange Protocol Test Suites Supported Protocols
    [MS-OXCFOLD]: Folder Object Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCFXICS]: Bulk Data Transfer Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCMSG]: Message and Attachment Object Protocol Specification
    [MS-OXCPERM]: Exchange Access and Operation Permissions Protocol Specification

    Outlook PST File Format Documentation Announcement
    Chris Mullaney Wednesday, November 04, 2009 7:40 PM
    A number of people have inquired about the .pst file format on this forum in the past, and at that time we stated we would provide an update if the .pst file format specification becomes available. This week we announced our documentation plan for the .pst file format specification on the Interoperability @ Microsoft blog,. If you are interested in actively participating in the review of preliminary drafts of the .pst file format specification, send an email message to pstinfo@microsoft.com and then we will contact you when a preliminary draft of the specification is ready for broader review. If you only are seeking the final version, we anticipate releasing the .pst file format specification in the first half of 2010 under our Open Specification Promise.

    SQL Server Release Notes - August 2017
    RueLane Wednesday, August 16, 2017 9:10 PM

    This release contains updates made to protocol documents since the last release.   

    The following known issues exist in the August 2017 release:

    • Underscore characters are not always visible in code in the PDF files, depending on the magnification selected by the user. Those characters are present in printed versions of the PDF.
    • Information in a table row may split across two pages.
    • Table borders are not always visible, depending upon the magnification selected by the user. Borders are present in printed versions of the PDF.
    • Cross-protocol links are functional only when the PDF files for all the cross-referenced protocols are in the same folder.

    Note: Links in the PDFs do not resolve in Adobe Reader 9 because Adobe has changed: the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9. To access such links,   perform the following procedure:

    • In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.
    • In the Categories list, click Documents.     
    • Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

    Additional details on changing the setting are located on the Adobe help site:
