Calendar - I only want repeats on certain days of the week.

I'm trying to be a responsible adult with a fancy schedule and everything for my courses. Unfortunately, some courses are Monday Wednesday Friday while others are Tuesday Wednesday. I've been trying to find a custom repeat option that will only repeat my reminders on certain days. I see old discussions of people using iCal a few years ago that appeared to have their issue resolved with a custom repeat option, but on the new Calendar with iOS 7 I don't see this option. Am I missing something or did they actually leave this feature out?
Thanks!

Hi,
ASCP gives the recommendations and dates based on the organization manufacturing calendar.
It is not possible to have a different calendar for planning for CERTAIN set of items.
We do not have any feature to support this requirement.
One possible workaround which you may consider using is to firm the planned orders/batches; once they are recommended; to finish on Friday and re-run the plan.
This needs manual intervention and re-running the plan for the changes to be aligned to whole plan.
Alternatively, you may consider firming these using MSC Post Plan hook to firm these orders automatically. But even in this case, if the complete plan has to be aligned the plan needs to be re-run.
Hope that answers your query!

Mohan Balaji

Oracle returning incorrect day of the week

Hi there,
I have a table named Performance, which includes a date field named PDATE, some other attributes such as title, etc, and a field named WEEKDAY, which includes the numerical value for the day of the week. Here is an example:
PER#
P#
THEATRE#
WEEKDAY
PDATE
PHOUR
PMINUTE

I went to verify the day of the week in a calendar (in fact I checked more than one) and I noticed that the Weekday value seems incorrect. For instance, the 2nd of March was a Tuesday so I would expect WEEKDAY to say 3 (considering Sunday to be the 1st day of the week, which is the universal norm), or perhaps 2 (considering Monday to be the 1st day of the week).
First thing that came to mind is, since the WEEKDAY is a number field which has been pre-populated, the person who populated it made a mistake.
So I went to verify this by running a query that would give me the correct day of the week by extracting it from the PDATE field:
SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
FROM ops$yyang00.Performance
ORDER BY pdate
And to my astonishment, I got the following table as a return:
PDATE
YEAR
WEEKDAYCALC
WEEKDAY
02-MAR-10
2010

As you can see, all of the above WEEKDAYCALC values are incorrect, and seem to match the incorrect values in WEEKDAY.
I could perhaps understand some weird WEEKDAY numbering if there is some general database setting where I could specify any day of the week to be the first day. However, I can't think of any logical explanation on why Oracle would call a Tuesday Sunday.
Could someone please advise what I mght be doing wrong? This is driving me insane!
Thank you in advance for all the help and support.

P.

Thanks both Frank and Solomon for the help. I am quite new to Oracle and I feel you folks went the extra mile on the explanation
Based on your explanations, I changed the formula so the date format would be processed as YY rather than YYY.
SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
FROM Performance
ORDER BY pdate
And I got the correct values now:

The interesting bit here, is the original WEEKDAY field, which clearly has been created with the same mistake I did (this whole table wasn't created by me). I reckon I spotted a design bug.
Regards,
P.
No; you're still calling TO_DATE on something that is already a DATE, and you're still using an implicit conversion (only now you're using a format such that the current NLS settings don't cause you to get punished. If your DBA changes the NLS settings next week, then you will have similar errors again.)
If you want to see what day of the week pdate is, then use:
TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY')
or, to make it NLS-independent:
TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH')
This is simpler than what you posted, it's more efficient and easier to debug and to maintain, and it also gets the results you want in all cases.
One more time: TO_DATE, as the name hints, converts something (a VARCHAR2, to be precise) TO a DATE. If pdate is already a DATE, then what do you need to convert? You're implicitly converting a DATE to a VARCHAR2, then explicitly converting that VARCHAR2 back to a DATE, and then calling TO_CHAR. That's 3 function calls (1 of them error prone) where only 1 is needed.
Also if you ever have to reconcile 2-digit years with 4-digit years (and, again, in this problem you don't) the correct way is to convert the 2-digit year to a 4-digit year, not vice-versa.
Calling Tuesday the 1st day of the week could make sense in a particular application.

Day of the week?

Is there a way to check if the entered date is a certain day of the week?
I just would like to alert the user if the date that was entered, which i have format "m/d/yy" on the format properties, that the date they entered is not a Sunday date. I tried to use the util.scand function but then was unable to figure out how to script it to look for the value to be Sunday.
I tried to put the following in the validation script:
var EFDT = event.value;
var day = util.scand("dddd", EFDT);
if(day.value!="Sunday")
{app.alert("Most changes should be effective on a Sunday, please check that the entered date is the correct date that the change should take place.")}
console.println(day.value)
the only time I get the alert is when I reset the form...
in the debugger i get:
day is null
4:Field:ValidateException in line 4 of function top_level, script Field:Validate
TypeError: day is null
4:Field:Validate
i am sure this means that my if criteria is not correct syntax, but i have run into a dead end when trying to search for more help.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

The custom validate script for the data field could be something like:
(function () {
    // Do nothing if field is blank
    if (!event.value) return;
    // Get the entered date, as a date object
    var ed = util.scand("m/d/yy", event.value);
    // If the date is not a Sunday...
    if (ed.getDay() !== 0) {
        // Alert user
        app.alert("Your message goes here.", 3);
        // Optionally, reject the entry
        event.rc = false;
Edit: corrected code

I have several recuring alarms set up on my calendar for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day.

I have several recuring alarms set up on iCal for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day and there seems to be no apparent pattern to why or when an alarm happens after the event is past.

I assume you meant iCal rather than iTunes? Yes, iCal the time zone is correct. The delayed alarms only happen sporadically. Since I posted this message, the problem stopped happening every day at the same time, but it still happens occasionally with no rhyme or reason as to when. It's gotten so that I can't depend on my iCal alarms anymore.

I want to hide certain pictures in the "Gallery"so only I can see when I want. How can I do this?

I want to hide certain pictures in the "Gallery"so only I can see when I want. How can I do this?

Sometimes depending on the SD card (you set the sd card to be where photos are sent) and then place a security code on the files and photos. I know this can be done on a computer not 100% sure about a cell phone.
Another option is to have the photos sent to Picassa (going to be Google+ shortly) or Photo bucket or other web spots for photos or even Drop Box etc. this way your photos are away from the phone, and only the ones on the phone you don't care about remain on the cell
So I hope it works out ok for you.

Issue with Gregorian Calendar and setting Day of the week

Hi
This may have a simple solution, but its currently got me stumped. Basically, after some calculation I determine the date that a particular event should occur on. These events are listed in a JTable where the column headers are the dates of the beginning of the weeks. In order to place my calculated event in the correct column I create a Gregorian Calendar, set it to the date of the event and then set the day of the week to the beginning of the week. Normally this works fine but for a few instances, rather than getting the date at the beginning of the week, I get the date thats the beginning of the next week.
As a quick example, to kind of illustrate my problem:
I determine that the date of the event is 27/06/2006 which is a Tuesday.
I want this event to appear in the column headed 25/06/2006, the date of the beginning of the week.
In fact it appears in the column headed the 02/07/2006 which is the beginning date of the following week.
Is there anyway to get it so when I set the day to the first day of the week it goes to the beginning of the current week rather than the beginning of the next week?
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved as I'm currently struggling to think of any.
Thanks

Hi, I dont say Monday is the begining of the week. At least I dont think I do.
As for code I'll post the conversion bit which is:
for (int i = 0; i < areaNameSelectionTable.getRowCount(); i++) {
GregorianCalendar conversionCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
conversionCalendar.setTime((java.util.Date) prioritiesTable.getValueAt(i, 10));
conversionCalendar.set(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, GregorianCalendar.SUNDAY);
}//end for loopI then create a string from the GregorianCalendar in the format DD/MM/YYYY and compare that with the headers of my table columns (Also dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY) When they match thats the column this particular event should appear in. I can post this code if necessary, but I dont know if its relevant.
Thanks

I am trying to find out if I can change a setting of the calendar in my iPhone. When I view calendar, in month, I would like to view it with the starting day of the week being Monday, not Sunday. Is it possible to make this change? SS

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

Wrong starting day of the week printing calendar in month view

I'm trying to print a month view calendar with the weeks starting from Monday.
In "Preferences" -> "General tab" ->"Start week on:" I've set Monday, and it is properly viewed in Calendar, but when I try to print it in the preview I see Tuesday as first day of the week.
This happens on many MacBook that I've tried, all with Yosemite and Italian regional settings.
The only way to resolve this issue is to open "System Preferences" ->"Language & Region" and change the "First day of the week:" on Sunday in all my "Preferred Languages" (both Italian and English), to have the printing preview of a calendar starting on Monday!
Is there an other way?
Is this a bug that should be submitted to Apple to get a "patch" on future releases of Mac OS X?
I know, it is a tiny issue, but annoying.

Re: Calendar printing problem

Want to make Monday as the first day of the week in GregorianCalendar. how?

hi
I need to know what day is the first of the month is. for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of Dec 2004 is saturday.
I am using the GregorianCalendar:
1. GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1); //set date to 1st Nov 2004
2. int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);now firstDay is 2. This is because the week starts from Sunday, so Monday is the 2nd day.
But I am in Uk and my Uk Calendar shows monday as the first day (even in Windows 2000 Calendar).
I would like the GregorianCalendar to have Monday as the first day of the week, so that the
int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
returns 1 in the above case.
I also tried adding
calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY); just between line 1 and line 2, but it did not help.
This is because i don't want to manually subtract 1. If i manually subtract one, then the program might not work in other locale and timezones.
Also if I subtract 1, then for 1 Feb 2004,
int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
will return 1 as 1st Feb 2004 falls on Sunday. so if i subtract 1 it will be 0, so I have to do a extra checking for 0.
Is there anyway to make the Calendar have Monday as the first day of the week??

hi
I need to know what day is the first of the month is.Why does this matter? Since we know that 1 == Sunday and 2 == Monday... Why do you need Monday to be == 1? and couldn't you just subtract 1 if it's so important?
for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of
Dec 2004 is saturday.
I am using the GregorianCalendar:
1. GregorianCalendar calendar = new

After iOS 5 upgrade, my calendar starts on the wrong day of the week

I've upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. My region is still selected as Australia, but Sunday is showing up as the first day of the week now.
I have not yet upgraded my iPad. It shows Australia as the region format and is correctly displaying Monday as the first day of the week.
So it appears that the iOS 5 update changes some details of the Australia region format. Does anyone know of a way to manually select the first day of the week? Thanks.

I can confirm that the start day of the week is determined by the Region Format setting (insanely). My girlfriend is still on iOS 4.3.5 and has a Region Format of Australia, and has the week starting on Monday. Apple must have changed it to Sunday in iOS 5.
The best workaround country I've found so far is Namibia!
Tap on Settings > General > International. change Region Format to Namibia.
Different regions affect different things. If you choose UK, you get the week starting on Monday, but the clock changes to 24 hr and the phone numbers format the UK way.
The only downside of Namibia so far is that you no longer get ".au" as an option if you're typing a web address and you hold down the ".com" button on the keyboard.
Apple needs to add a "First Day of Week" option in the Calender preferences, like they have in the iCloud Calendar preferences and iCal preferences (which are both ignored on the iPhone and iPad!).
Even Americans are complaining about this. It must be the easiest fix in the world, yet they still haven't done it.

Ho do I repeat an event monthly but on a specific day of the week?

I need to repeat an event every month on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. The only monthly repeating option that I see will put it on that same day every month, by the date and not by the day of the week. Anybody know how I do this?

Make your event on eg 20th Feb. Edit it, select Repeat/Custom , select Monthly, and 3rd Wednesday will be a selectable option.

TS4118 When I print out my ical calendars, there are three duplicate events happening every day of the week and I never entered this event?

When I print out my calendars from ical, there is one event that is reoccurring 3x/day/every day of week! It is not showing on the actual calendar and I cannot figure out how or where it's coming from? It's in the calendar marked Jimmys action which just shows my sons activities and for this activitiy, I put one day with a recurring weekly on just two days of the week at a specific time and this is showing up as well and correctly? What should I do to remedy this?

UPDATE: I think I found the answer to my problem. I travel between two time zones and recently started listing event times as "floating" so they don't get messed up when I travel between west and east coasts. It seems that when I want to print out a calendar sheet, the time of the event doesn't show up if it's a "floating" event. So, I need to go back to putting a time zone in and turning off "time support" in Preferences for iCal. BTW this (in reverse) is a solution for those who don't want to see appointment times printed out – make it a "floating" event.

Changing the calendar settings: Sunday as the first day of the week

Dear Masters of SAP universe,
In ECC6.0, I am using a LIS info-structure with the period split set to week.
I would like to know how can I change the calendar settings in order to consider Sunday as the first day of the week, instead of Monday.
For example:
A sales order created on Dec 12th creates the record 201049 in the info structure S900 - SPWOC.
I would like to have it as 201050, where 50 is the currently week in the system.
I already checked OSS notes and the transaction SCAL for customizing. But I did not find a solution this issue.
Your help is highly appreciated!

hi,
this seems to be a calendar issue.
please check for OSS also - 1158474.

How do I change the first day of the week in calendar?

I recently updated to ios 5.
unfortunately, this made sunday day one of the week in calendar, not Monday which is my preference (and the convention in Australia).
I was able to change it to Monday by changing international settings to UK, but this changed other settings such as uk version of google as default search engine, which I would prefer to avoid.
Is there a way to make Monday the first day of the week in calendar AND keep my other international settings as Australia?
Many thanks for suggestions.
Chris.

I don't think you can. Your best bet is to send Apple feedback and ask for that functionality.

Change first day of the week in Calendar?

When I updated my iPhone to 3.0, my default Calendar app switched the first day of the week (in month view mode) from Sunday to Monday. Any idea how I can change this back?
-Gerald

What application does your iPhone calendar sync with on your computer? I have had all three versions of the iPhone and can't remember any of them showing Monday as the first day of the week in "Month" view. Of course that doesn't mean anything... can you post a picture showing Monday as the first day of the week?
