Q.
I am attempting to synchronize my GroupWise contacts with another application using the GroupWise Object API, and I need to have a unique field to identify each user. There is a field called GUID, which always appears to be empty when viewing the list of address entries in an address book. Can I use this field?
A.
The GUID field should only appear in a GroupWise personal address book if the entry was copied from the System Address Book. Also, the Object API interfaces with the GroupWise Address Book through an intermediate MAPI layer.
The Object API itself defines no GUID on any entry. GroupWise relies on the MAPI Address Book provider for a list of fields, and the contents of those fields. You should create your own custom field definition and populate it with some unique ID.
