IExchangeImportHierarchyChanges::ImportFolderChange

The ImportFolderChange method accepts a folder change notification from the synchronizer.

HRESULT ImportFolderChange(
  ULONG cValue,              
  LPSPropValue lpPropArray   
);
 

Parameters

cValue

Input parameter. The number of MAPI SPropValue array elements in lpPropArray.

lpPropArray

Input parameter. Points to an array of SPropValue structures, each of which contains a property tag and its value.

The array must contain at least the PR_PARENT_SOURCE_KEY, PR_SOURCE_KEY, PR_CHANGE_KEY, PR_PREDECESSOR_CHANGE_LIST, and MAPI PR_DISPLAY_NAME properties.

Return Values

See Return Values.

In addition, ImportFolderChange can return one of the following values:

SUCCESS_SUCCESS

The method completed successfully.

SYNC_E_CONFLICT

A conflict has occurred.

SYNC_E_ERROR

An unknown error occurred.

SYNC_NO_PARENT

Cannot locate the parent folder indicated by PR_PARENT_SOURCE_KEY.

SYNC_OBJECT_DELETED

The object has been deleted.

Remarks

The ImportFolderChange method is called by the synchronizer to import either a new folder or update an existing folder. This method should not be called from the agent.

    To implement the ImportFolderChange method for a collector

1. Search for the folder whose PR_SOURCE_KEY property matches the PR_PARENT_SOURCE_KEY property.
2. If this folder does not exist, return SYNC_E_NO_PARENT.
3. Search for a folder that matches the PR_SOURCE_KEY property.
4. If the folder has been deleted, return SYNC_E_OBJECT_DELETED.
5. If the folder does not exist, create it as a sub-folder of the parent folder (specified by the PR_PARENT_SOURCE_KEY property).
6. If the folder exists and the imported change key (specified by the PR_CHANGE_KEY property) already appears in the predecessor change list, discard the change and return SUCCESS_SUCCESS.
7. If the folder exists and the imported change key does not appear in the predecessor change list (specified by the PR_PREDECESSOR_CHANGE_LIST property), but the predecessor change list of the existing folder is contained with the predecessor change list of the imported folder, replace the existing properties with the new properties.
8. If the folder exists, a conflict is detected, and conflicts are not allowed, return SYNC_E_CONFLICT.
9. If the folder exists, a conflict is detected, and conflicts are allowed, use the modification times of the conflicting properties to determine whether to update or ignore the property.
   1. Return SUCCESS_SUCCESS.
