After searching for prefix 'Konferenzr.' we found 100 rooms.
After deep search for prefix 'Konferenzr.' we found 143 rooms.
After searching for prefix 'Konfi' we found 151 rooms.
After deep search for prefix 'Konfi' we found 151 rooms.
This will create a CSV file rooms.csv holding a list of all rooms found with the prefix Konfi and Konferenzr. in their display names.
After doing so, this file need to be copied to roomfinder_update folder
You need to launch :
- roomfinder_data to store the database
- roomfinder_update to update the database regularly based on the exchange server
- roomfinder_web to be able to present it in a web (html) format
- roomfinder_spark to have a Cisco Spark bot
Need to be accessible to every other containers
Need to be run with IP access to Exchange server
Need to be accessible from end users
Need to have a Public IP to be accessible from Cisco Spark backend
