Back in the days when we did a calendar synchronisatie via Outlook this gave us IDs of the form:
00000000ABC72AACB341FF4F9886BAAC125E772807007591CF0335B23144ADC7FCD71BA6E2FC00000000010D00007591CF0335B23144ADC7FCD71BA6E2FC00009957CF160000
We later upgraded the code to use Exchange Web Services, and for a smooth transistion we kept the old IDs in custom event properties, and therefore had to convert EWS EntryIds
like this:
<soapenv:Body>
<mes:ConvertId DestinationFormat="HexEntryId">
<mes:SourceIds>
<typ:AlternateId Format="EwsId" Id="AAMkADI2ZGIwY2FlLTA1NDQtNGFhYi1hNDJmLWEyMGJhZWU5NmM2YgBGAAAAAACrxyqss0H/T5iGuqwSXncoBwB1kc8DNbIxRK3H/NcbpuL8AAAAAAENAAB1kc8DNbIxRK3H/NcbpuL8AAJ2Kv4fAAA=" Mailbox="timetelldev@timetell.nl"/>
</mes:SourceIds>
</mes:ConvertId>
</soapenv:Body>
Response:
<ResponseMessages>
<ConvertIdResponseMessage ResponseClass="Success">
<ResponseCode>NoError</ResponseCode>
<AlternateId type="t:AlternateIdType" Format="HexEntryId" Id="00000000ABC72AACB341FF4F9886BAAC125E772807007591CF0335B23144ADC7FCD71BA6E2FC00000000010D00007591CF0335B23144ADC7FCD71BA6E2FC0002762AFE1F0000" Mailbox="timetelldev@timetell.nl"/>
</ConvertIdResponseMessage>
</ResponseMessages>
We are now moving to MS Graph and I need to be able to convert the new restId
format to the old Outlook ones using translateExchangeIds (according to Exchange Web Services (EWS) to Microsoft Graph API mappings).
But there is no such thing as the HexEntryId
format type. I tried several combinations with no luck.
(How) can I convert the MS Graph REST IDs to these HexEntryId?
I think that you need to first convert restId
to entryId
by calling
POST /me/translateExchangeIds
{
"inputIds": [
"{restId}"
],
"sourceIdType": "restId",
"targetIdType": "entryId"
}
It will return targetId
in form of entryId
.
Now convert entryId
to hexEntryId
targetId
and remove an integer from the end of the string.
This integer indicates how many characters =
must be added to the
end of the string.=
at the end of the string (how many times - from previous step)_
with /
-
with +
The final hex string should be your hexEntryId
