Configure calendar properly

I have tried these two methods to create a calendar:
http://www.gebs.ro/blog/oracle/oracle-adf-calendar-step-by-step-implementation/
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/calendar-091799.html
Both in query do not use the binding variables in select to make things faster, and my data is large, so that when i perform their select methods:
IE: Not putting in where clause: TABLE.START_DATE > :bindingStartDate AND TABLE.END_DATE < :bindingEndDate
Everything is very slow.
I have the impression that i am not doing things well, because I get exception when two persons navigating at the same time...
Is there a correct way to perform query, so as to only fetch data that corresponds to the view of the calendar?
Thank you in advance

OK, managed to try out GEBS Calendar tutorial, and error is easily reproduced:
Download GEBS calendar, as is, and include is schema for FODCAL.
Execute in your integrated server.
From two terminals, or navigators, navigate forward and backwards at the same time. It may take a few tries, but it is easier to reproduce if there are various appointments in the same weeks.
If a week has many appointments, and takes a second to load, and you both navigate at the same time, voilá:

Now that it is confirmed that it is not my code that has failed, can somebody please help me?
The blog to download the info to create calendar is:
http://www.gebs.ro/blog/oracle/oracle-adf-calendar-step-by-step-implementation/
Here you can download the calendar FOD schema for de DB:
http://www.gebs.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/AdfCalendarHRscript.zip
And here you can download the project, already prepared, to only run once schema has been applied:
http://www.gebs.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ADFCalendar.zip
I havent had much luck on forum because I didnt know exactly where to point things out (my fault!!!!)
But given that I now can give: Schema, application project, and how to reproduce the error, any chance someone has had the same problem?
Thanks in advance, David L

  • ICloud not syncing calendar properly (iPad, iPhone, Mac)

    Recently my iCloud calendar hasn't been syncing properly to my iPad. I just realized this and turned off/on the calendar option in iCloud (for all of them) but this didn't do anything besides wipe all my appointments from my iPhone. I don't know how to get them to come back. The appointments still show up on iCloud.com as well as on Calendar on my Mac. Just not on my iPad and apparently now my iPhone too. When I add a new appt on my Mac or iCloud, they show up on the other one, but not on iPhone or iPad.
    Please help!

  • One calendar view does not show up when configure calendar overlay in sharepoint 2010

    I created 5 views for a calendar and wanted to create a calendar overlay to show all 5 views.
    Events 1
    Events 2
    Events 3
    Events 4
    Other events
    but one view named "Other events" is not showing up when selecting view from "calendar" list.. (only the other 4 views are shown)
    I checked that the view is created correctly and listed in views section in list settings.
    Don't know why ?
    Appreciate any advice

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that one of your calendar view didn’t display when configured the calendar overlay.
    Was the “other events” view created by the Calendar View format?     
    You can only select the view created by the Calendar view format when you configure the calendar overlay.
    I had tested with five view as your description, they are all the calendar views, and all the views could display when I configured the calendar overlay as below.
    You can recreate a new view or a new calendar, then check whether it works.
    There is an article about creating Calendar Overlay, you can check with it.

    It looks like a bug to me. I checked "Setup a Front End / Back End deployment" and "Setup this server as Back End". I do not have any calendar frontend yet. Do I need to have at least one calendar frontend before configuring the backend?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Known issue. Bug #6498212 - "configurator throws java exception when choose the server to backend in dwp setup"
    This bug is fixed in 121657-18 (for Solaris Sparc) or 121658-18 (for Solaris x86). You should be able to download and apply this patch to your new calendar install then run the configurator again.

  • Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

    On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
    When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
    So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26.  Very annoying indeed!
    Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
    event.    But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
    Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event.  e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm.  The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
    Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
    I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem.  However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
    For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options.  The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook.  FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
    I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change.  I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade.  Grrrrr.....

  • Exchange server not syncing Lync state or Calendar properly

    We have several Mac users that have reported that their Lync states will not update (Busy, Meeting, etc), but if they log on to a Windows machine while still logged onto the Mac, the state will update properly. These same users have reported that they
    are unable to properly see Attendees is meetings in Outlook for Mac.

    Hi,
    If the issue does not occur on Microsoft Windows and Outlook, it means the settings on the Exchange side is fine. You need to check why the MAC client cannot sync the data from the
    Exchange Server. Maybe you need to check whether the EWS works properly. For more professional suggestion, you can consult Mac Office forum via:

  • Weblogic12c and JDK 7 together not using login configuration file properly

    Hello,
    Little puzzled by this.
    I ve installed JDK 7 along with Weblogic 12c and made a custom installation of Weblogic to use JDK 7 as the Local JDK
    as mentioned in this doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/doc.1211/e24492/jdk7.htm
    The JAVA_HOME is pointing to JDK 7
    When i configure the login.config.url.1 under JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security file to use our own specific file which is used for authentication against LDAP,
    deploy the app and try to login, authentication fails(LoginException is thrown), like as if it s not understanding this file or the path or similar.
    When i configure the same to use the JDK 6 that comes along with Weblogic 12c, everything is fine.....
    Not sure where the problem lies.
    Is there any other setting i need to do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    The Exception thrown is
    javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle sun.security.util.AuthResour

    Just adding here that if i install JDK 6 outside of weblogic 12 and point to it, that also works fine.
    The problem seems to be weblogic 12 pointing to JDK 7 only ...

  • CalDav seems to only properly sync first one configured

    Hi,
    I've just configured a couple of CalDav calendars on my iPhone (syncing with Google) so that I can free up the Exchange connection for work.
    I all looked fine, but it seems that only the first configured (or enabled) service is the only one that is properly syncing, i.e. if you change a calendar on google, then exit and restart calendar on the iphone the update is properly reflected. For all additional configured calendars it will only properly update when you change something on the phone end!
    I've tried this with several different accounts and calendars and it's consistent ... so basically only one calendar will have proper 2-way syncing at a time. You can control which one by disabling all the others (so it's the only one enabled), then enable the others.
    Not ideal ... must be a bug, surely?
    Lee.

    Open application iSync, go to "preference" on the top menu, then click "reset" syncing history. After done first reset, click reset again, this problem should be cleared.
    For windows users, go to itunes preference to reset.

    [email protected], but our actual Exchange server is exchange.internaldomain.com, and my actual username is lasfir (first 3 of last name, first 3 of first name). I'm not 100% clear on our certificate process,
    but from what I understand from talking with our Systems team, it's a self-signed certificate.
    Anyway, when I try to add my account, I get the usual email address and password prompts. I enter
    [email protected] and my password, which don't resolve. The app returns "we couldn't find settings for
    [email protected] Provide us with more info and we'll try connecting again."
    So I add the internaldomain as the domain and lasfir as my username and click Connect again. This time it returns "we still couldn't find settings for
    [email protected] Providing this additional info may help. If you don't know this information, search online or check with your provider."
    So I enter exchange.internaldomain.com as my server address and click Connect again. This time it returns "to connect to this account, you need a valid certificate on this PC. Contact your system administrator for more info." That tells me at least
    it's finding my Exchange server, but I have no idea about the certificate thing. I reached out to our Exchange admin and our Systems guys, and they just weren't sure about the certificate process.
    As one of the few people in my organization running Windows 8x, I'm a bit of a guinea pig for stuff like this. Any advice how to get this working?

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
    Good Luck

  • Outlook 2010/Exchange 2007 Calendar Will Not Display

    Hi Folks,
    I've been working on an issue for the past 3 weeks and would love some assistance.
    Here's the problem:
    A user indicated that she was using Outlook normally, flipping between the Mail and Calendar tab. When she went back to the Calendar tab, the navigation pane switched to the Calendar tab, but the main pane and ribbon were still showing Mail content.
    The only way for her to display her Calendar properly is to right-click on Calendar and select "Open in New Window" - but even then if she goes to the Mail tab, she cannot go back to her Calendar again.
    Please note we are running on Exchange version 8.3.327.1
    Here are the fixes I've attempted:
    New OST file
    New Mail profile
    Ran outlook.exe with the following switches:  /safe /cleanrules /cleanview /resetfolders /resetnavpane 
    Please note: resetnavpane breaks the OST file and requires me to create a new OST file for the user
    Open Mailbox on a different computer - that same issue occurs
    Open Mailbox in webmail - the calendar is displayed properly
    Odds n Ends: Hitting CTRL + 6, Hitting F5.
    I've run out of ideas and would appreciate any ideas to resolve this problem
    Thanks!
    Derek

    Hi Derek,
    It should not be an Exchange issue. Based on my research, there is no feature in Exchange server can configure the Outlook reading pane or navigation pane performance. Since there is only one user encounter this issue and OWA can work well, please check
    the following points to narrow down the issue:
    1. Please configure your Outlook account in your colleague’s domain-joined computer with your colleague’s domain account to check whether the issue is caused by your Roaming Profile.
    2. Configure Outlook account outside the domain by using Outlook Anywhere to check whether the issue is caused by any policy in your domain.
    Thanks,
