Apex to MS Outlook Calendar

Hi all,
Does anyone have reference to a white paper or document that will tell me how to take a scheduling application such as the one included as a sample app ( Events) and tie it to MS Outlook so that I can make my events appear as an item on the Outlook calendar as opposed to displaying it on an APEX calendar?
We already have a number of Apex apps that we are implementing that tie out to SSO and use the Oracle login authentication to allow users to run these APEX apps off of their responsibility (as a menu option) in Oracle.
I can use the same logic to tie a scheduling calendar for training classes available in Apex to an Oracle menu and responsibility that will allow end users to register for training but I would prefer to tie it to Outlook if I can.

Hi Danny,
You may find it useful to refer the following threads from the Application Express forum, discussing this topic:

OUTLOOK .CVS
I hope this helps.

Similar functionality to Google/Outlook Calendar advice required

Hi all,
I have built an Apex app that is used to create jobs and assign them to an engineer. It is a straightforward app and we are now looking at adding some new functionality, specifically I have been asked to provide a diary type view of the jobs scheduled for each engineer to help with the allocation of new jobs.
I have tried the out of the box Calendar region in Apex and it isn't quite what I require and I was wondering if anyone had some advice and guidance that they could offer to help me out?
The easiest way to describe what I would like to achieve is a Day view similar to the Google Calendar interface, or Outlook Calendar, where you have the hours of the day down the side of the page and for each engineer their jobs that have been scheduled for that day is shown in a block that covers the time that the job has been scheduled from and to i.e. 9am - 10.30am.
I have searched this forum and the internet for something similar that I could adapt but have so far have not found anything, I love the example in this post:
[http://rutgerderuiter.blogspot.com/2008/07/drag-planboard.html|http://rutgerderuiter.blogspot.com/2008/07/drag-planboard.html]
however I think it is not quite what I require and is more advanced than my simple JavaScript skills could handle!
In order to visually illustrate what I have in mind, the following is a good example:
[http://www.pioneerinteractive.com/screenshots/sched-day-view.JPG|http://www.pioneerinteractive.com/screenshots/sched-day-view.JPG]
My data is structured pretty much as you would expect where there is a table of jobs with columns for job no, engineer, date start time & date end time, job description.
If anyone can provide me with some tips on how to achieve what I have explained, or even a different approach that you think would satisfy what I have discussed then I would really appreciate it.
Best regards,
Stu

I've found a work-around to this. I import the ICS event into "Calendar", then visit it in iPhone Calendar and change its calendar to Google Calendar, it then synchs properly.

How can I sync my work outlook calendar to a separate 'work' ICloud calendar?

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to work out how to keep my 'work' calendar separate to my 'family' calendar. I have an Outlook calendar at work, and would really like to have it shown in my iCloud as a work calendar, and keep it separate from my family calendar, cause I don't want everyone at work to see what my family plans are at the weekend
The problem is that if I sync my Outlook calendar at work using iTunes, it will sync it to my main iCloud calendar where all my family entries are, and this will 'publish' all my private calendar entries at work....
Anyone managed to set this up so that they can be synced separately. This would be really cool.
Thanks,
Aaron.

When you connect your iPad in iTunes, click on your iPad below "DEVICES", then click the tab "Info" and define on that page what you want to do.

Entries made in Sprint BB 8330 will not sync to Outlook Calendar

I just got a Sprint BB 8330 and have set up 2-way sync for Outlook Calendar, Tasks, Memos & Address Book. The 2-way sync works for Tasks, Memos and Address Book except the Outlook Calendar. The Outlook Calendar syncs to the BB but entries made on the BB do not sync back onto the Outlook Calendar. I traded my Sprint Treo which worked perfectly with 2-way syncs on my Dell laptop using XP for this SmartPhone which isn't doing what it is said to do. I have done quit a bit of research on this and found that this problem is happening to a lot of other users. We should file a class action suit against Blackberry since it is a common problem and they seem to being nothing to fix it that I have found but they keep on selling them. Thanks for your help.

Open up your Desktop Manager, then go to Synchronize/Configuration/Configure Sync. In there, you will find that you are only allowing synchronization one way...from your desktop to your BB. You can configure your synchronization from that screen so that it is bi-directional.

DM 4.6 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

Using Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2003, BB Pearl 8130. Used DM 4.3 for nearly a year without issue. Just upgraded to DM 4.6. During sync, DM will read addresses, tasks, and memos, and appears to read the calendar from the device, but when it gets to reading the Outlook Calendar, I get "program has encountered an error and must shut down". I uninstalled 4.6, tried 4.5, then back to 4.3 but exact same issue with each version now. I can change the settings in sync to skip sync of calendar and all is well. But as soon as I check calendar in settings, same issue. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times. I even wiped the device (typical answer from Verizon). USB cable is on back of laptop, not hub. Any advice?

Forgot to mention, DM 4.6 seems to run much slower than DM 4.3 used to.
yes, there is a speed gap between 4.3 (fast) and 4.5/4.6 (slow).

Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar. It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar. when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out. No error message in the log, nothing. I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed. Here is what else I have:
Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
The calendar is the big thing for me. Any Ideas??
Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th. I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of. I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar.

Syncing iPhone and Outlook Calendar - bug?

I have an issue syncing my iPhone 3G Calendar with Outlook’s Calendar (Outlook 2007). In general, the sync works fine, but: If I delete the current (ie first) instance of a repeating event in Outlook, when I sync, my iPhone will still display ALL instances of that event, including the ‘deleted’ one.
I have verified that this is because the iPhone is syncing the event based on its start date in Outlook, which will include the ‘deleted’ event, rather than what actually is shown as still a valid event in the calendar (which of course is what I want).
I am guessing that this is just because both manufacturers are pursuing a different methodology, but the bottom line is that iPhone claims it will sync properly, so I’d call it a bug.
I have a workaround, in that I can delete events from the Outlook calendar by changing the start date to the current one I wish to display, but this is cumbersome and of course takes more time. Is there a more elegant workaround? Or am I just doing something wrong?

When you decide to sync the second computer to the iphone, itunes will ask you if you want to merge or replace the data.
In the merge, data will be transfered both ways.
So, when you say separate, you can sync them one at a time, but in the end, all the events will be the same on both computers and iphone. Because itunes keeps merging the data.

Outlook calendar prompts for reminder in wrong folder?

Running Outlook 2013 (15.0.4615.1000) cached mode with Exchange 2007 SP3 U13.
A user will create an appt on their Outlook Calendar then try to change the appt time by dragging the appt box. They will get the following -
Why is the user getting this prompt when it is their own calendar?
Thanks

Hi,
Is it the default calendar of the user's Exchange account?
Please first try to run the outlook.exe /cleanreminders command to check if this issue is caused by corrupt reminder. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /cleanreminders and press Enter.
If we are talking about a issue happened in archives and other pst files, please have a look at the following article:

Major problems with iPhone 4 & iPad 2 both 5.1.1. - Outlook Calendar sync

Folks, really need some help here, being forced to revert to Blackberry Bold 9000 because of issues with Outlook Calendar sync since 5.1.1 upgrade on both my iPhone & iPad. Our company Enterprise Active Sync server is 2003 (please don't mention upgrade - already a seperate conversation byt all costs).
email sync's fine on both devices, plus i can continue to use both iCloud accounts, and BT yahoo mail etc !
national holidays set up in Outlook calendar come across, as does some calendar items, but then falls into a resync mode with nothing staying in the device, i can also see and read calendar invites, but once accepted, they disappear !
Searching the internet suggests I'm not alone with this issue - any ideas welcome, seems not to be a problem on os 4 !!! but A) I don't know how to regress and B) why should I ?
Many thanks in advance, please don't make me go back to a BB !!!
Finally, I've been using the devices without issue for nearly 2 years - so again it's linked to 5.1.1. upgrade !

Hi Tim
Firstly, apologies for the slow response to your very quick reply !
I've checked back, we're using Exchange 2007.
We've actually got a ticket open with Apple at present, so anticipate that a patch may be available.
It is still curious though that out of a 200 user community trialling our internal iPhone & iPad pilot, we only have 2 issues (mine and a colleagues), however anticipate that there will be more issues as nearly entire community is on 5.1.1.
On a second point, any ideas how one can rollback to 4.3.3 on an iPhone or iPad ? I can't find anything that implies a self rollback without jail breaking the device ?
Thanks again for the help.

It seems my "passed" events in my calendar are not on my iphone anymore...Is there a setting I have changed that caused them to disappear? They do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my pc? How can I get them to show up on my iphone again?

Events that are in the past do not appear on my calnedar on my iphone. Have I possibly changed a setting that caused them to disappear? Can I get them back on my iphone as they do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my PC?

Is it possible to sync your iphone to 2 pc's (work/home)and keep outlook calendar?

I had a iphone but returned it, but now I need confirmation that it is possible to have an iphone sync between to PCs (work / home). I want to know if its possible to have it sync the phone with two computers. Home has itunes for music and such, work doesn't have itunes on it - but I need to make sure that my calendar syncs between the two computers.
I am concerned that if I sync at home it will upload fine but then if I try to sync at work it will want to delete all my contact on my computer and replace with what's on the iphone?
So basically - is it possible to have your iphone sync with two seperate pc's? I use outlook calendar and live my life with it - I must be able to use it on the iphone - can you?
Can you change the way names are stored in the contacts, I have businesses and personal contacts - I want to be able to look up a business not have to remember the name of the person who runs it?

Can you change the way names are stored in the contacts, I have businesses and personal contacts - I want to be able to look up a business not have to remember the name of the person who runs it?
You didn't say what contacts application you are syncing your iPhone with, but almost all give you a choice to list contacts by name or by business. That setting on the computer should transfer to the synced iPhone. Works with my Mac.

Can more than one iPhone share a MS Outlook Calendar?

I successfully installed the iCloud control panel on my PC and was able to set up full access of my Outlook calendar on my new iPhone 4s. I wondered if it is possible if my wife (using an iPhone 4) can share the same Microsoft Outlook Calendar on her phone too. If it's doable, could someone let me know how to do it? The iCloud "Help", explains below. I think that these are the instructions on how to set it up from the Calendar on a Mac and not a PC.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Go to icloud.com/calendar and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re already using a different application on icloud.com, click the iCloud button to switch applications.
Click the Share button (shown below) to the right of the calendar or reminder list in the sidebar, and then do one of the following:
For reminder lists, go to step 3.
For calendars, choose Private Calendar.
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.

I sync using mobile me - over the air, my wife syncs via itunes, we keep several calendars in ical.
You can look through the manual as well. It may help you figure out what iphone can do.

How can I sync Outlook Calendars on 2 PCs with my iPhone?

I have a PC at work and a PC at home ... both have MS Outlook 2007 running on them; I have an iPhone 3GS
I want to be able to sync the calendar from BOTH my PCs on to the iPhone and (therefore) with each other. However, I get a message on the second PC that I can't do this as it is only possible to sync calendars (and contacts by the way) with one PC. Is there any solution to this?
My music is happily synced only with my home PC - fully understand the issues that mean you can only sync those libraries with one PC.

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.
