How do I troubleshoot the Calendar Connector for Lotus Notes?
Make sure to make appointments and log off the Notes Client and the outlook client to force them to update.
Calendar Connector is only supported on the Windows Platform on Intel. This includes the Excalcon executable for the Lotus Domino Server.

This requires a notes.ini change and a restart of the Domino server. The command line task is much easier to toggle on and off.

On the Domino Server go to the command console and type Show Tasks to ensure Excalcon is loaded.
At the server console, type SET CONFIG DEBUG_SCHED_ALL=1 to turn on verbose logging. This command sets the DEBUG_SCHED_ALL parameter in the server's NOTES.INI to 1. The NOTES.INI can be modified directly rather than via the server console.
The collected data is available in the Domino server log (log.nsf). To turn off verbose logging, type SET CONFIG DEBUG_SCHED_ALL=0 at the server console. Do not leave this parameter set to 1 for very long on as it generates a large amount of information which will quickly fill up the server log.
•On the Exchange Server go to a command prompt Net Stop calcon
Change to the bin directory and type calcon.
