Does iCal report always report .ics times as GMT when sending via Mail?

I received a .ics file from someone sending it in Outlook in Los Angeles (GMT-08:00) for an event from noon to 2pm. I am in the same time zone. I double-clicked it, and it showed up as a tentative event in iCal, starting at noon as expected. I then accepted it, and an email was automatically sent to the other participants. In the body text, it said: "Rehearsal, scheduled for December 7, 2008 at 8:00 PM (GMT)."
The recipient didn't pay attention to the "GMT" text. Is the body text always going to report in GMT, or are there other other options?
I haven't thought through all the ramifications, but it would be useful to report the local time (of the person(s) receiving the confirmation email(s).
Relevant parts of .ics file I received:
DTSTART:20081207T200000Z
DTEND:20081207T220000Z
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, December 07\, 2008 12:00 PM-2:00 PM (GMT-08:00)
Pacific Time (US & Canada).
Relevant parts of .ics file sent from my machine automatically upon acceptance in iCal:
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
DTSTART:20081207T200000Z
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, December 07\, 2008 12:00 PM-2:00 PM (GMT-08:0
0) Pacific Time (US & Canada).
DTEND:20081207T220000Z

I'm a few steps further towards a working iCal server now. Your answer clarified a lot.
User on iCal server:
Invitations are sent via [email protected] Both to invitees on same email domain and to external invitees.
When I (user on iCal server) am invited by someone not on our iCal server, I get the invitation via Mail.app and iCal local reads it. And I'm able to reply, and my reply status updates in my local iCal. No problems so far.
Mail.app (not iCal server) then sends a reply. And the inviter receives the reply as an email which is an .ics file attached. But the .ics is not understood by users not on iCal server.
The format looks like this:
ATTENDEE;CN="Myfirstname Mylastname";
CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;EMAIL="[email protected]";
PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;
ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838
I looks like the inviters iCal is not able to translate urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838 to anything usable. And therefore sees it as if an unknow user has replied to the invitation. Apparently neither Mozilla Lightning og iCal local looks at EMAIL="[email protected]";
Inviting and replying to and from users on iCal server works fine.
Do I have to map the urn:uuid to the email somehow? Where? Or somehow allow external inviters to look to our server for urn:uuid to email translation?
Or can I manually change a config file to send an .ics with my email insted my urn:uuid? Like this:
PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:[email protected]

How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Did you fail to back up your pics?
The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
Pages
When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

ICal Events always start with Time now?

Greetings, Mates!
It seems like after the latest update, that my new notices on my iCal always include the time stamp
first in the heading.
Since I've retired, I often set things for the day before, so I can get an email warning me of things I have to do.
The time is not so crucial that it needs to be included in the heading.
For instance my old heads looked like this:
Pay Mortgage $800
Now, it is set to say:
9:00AM Pay Mort
gage and $800 are cut off.
I cannot get the time out of it so the head makes sense.
Is there something I'm missing???

Hi Bee,
Check in iCal's Preferences > General. There is a checkbox for "Show event times in month view". If that is checked then un-check it.
Let us know how it goes.
Best wishes
John M

Web-I Report taking lots of time to refresh when filters changed

In BO XI 3.1 Web-I report is taking lot of time to refresh when any changes are made in edit query mode on the filters.
When the query is runned for the first time it runs well, but if we make any changes in the filters pane, it is taking lots of time to refresh, and when we cancel the query web-i server is not releasing the server resources (CPU, Memory)
Did anyone face this kind of a problem, and resolved it.
Please let me know your thoughts
Thank you

Hi,
why do you need 100K rows in your reports? Is there a way to consolidate/aggregate your data on the database?
Comparing sqlplus and BOBJ is a little bit unfair. Let me explain you why:
sqlplus starts displaying data after the query returns the first results. I am sure that if you measure the time that sqlplus needs to display ALL rows, this should be way more than just 10 secs.
On the other hand BOBJ will display something as soon as the first page can be created. Depending on the way your report is structured, it may be the case that the WebI server should first get ALL rows in order to be able to display the first page of your report. This is for example the case if you let the total number of pages being displayed or if you display total sums already at the header of your report or if you have added a chart based on your data also in the header of your report. Of course, after the first call the report will be cached (and thus fast to be displayed) until you change again the parameters values for your query.
Since you do not display (or do you use this function in a variable or a formula, maybe?) the total number of pages in your report, I can only assume that you either trying to display total sums (or other kinds of aggregated values) or a chart in the first page of your report. Can you confirm this?

Excel form of SAP-BW reports sending via mail as an attachment

Hi Friends,
I want to take your opinion about a scenario....
We access SAP-BW reports in Enterprise portal, there the user can export the report to excel.
I wish to know if it is possible that the excel form of this report could automatically be sent as an attachment via mail to the outlook accounts of users on a daily basis. Please let me know how.
Regards,
Amit Srivastava

Hi,
1st you need to congigure the Precalculation server.Inform BASIS people to do that. After that you can check in RSPRECADMIN T-code. There you can see how many servers are there in active(green light). Save your query as workbook and then distribute that workbook from tools menu. -->it will open it in new window. there you can create new setting and then provide Email-ids in 1st tab, and provide subject line and message in 2nd tab, And finally provide variables in 3rd tab. Finnaly save it and Schedule in background by providing date & time. you can use periodic also.

LMS3.2 Syslog reports very slow when send via email

Hello,
we have ~5000 devices in LMS3.2 and we have a problem with syslog reports.
When I create a "severity level summary report" for 5000 devices for the last 24hours and select as run type "immediate" it needs ~2-3 minutes. That's ok.
But when I create exactly the same report and select the run type "once" , it needs ~3 hours. ("Once" means that the report is send via email after it's finished). It happens with report type "pdf" and "csv".
What can be the problem ? Or is it usual ???
Regards
Hendrik

The scheduled reports can output a full list of messages where as the immediate reports output a limit of 10,000 records. If you have a lot of syslog messages, it can take a considerable amount of additional time to generate a full report.

When sending e mails, w attch the system stalls out just "spinning, not attaching, does not happen with exploere

When attempting to send e-mails w/ attacments, the systems stalls out, just keeps spinning, problem does not occur with exporer.
Also when trying to attch pics, same thing

No need to be inhappy.
iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.
There's no need to go through that exporting routine. Your iPhoto Library is available in every app. See this for more:

Why does location manager always reports kCLErrorLocationUnknown in simulator?

As the subject says the location manager is always sending the kCLErrorLocationUnknown error in the simulator. I've tried changing the accuracy and it didn't help.
Here is the code:
     locmanager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
     [locmanager setDelegate:self];
     [locmanager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyKilometer];
     [locmanager startUpdatingLocation];
This always calls didFailWithError with error kCLErrorLocationUnknown.
Any idea of what is wrong?
TIA,
FR

I read somewhere that apple doesn't use skyhook any more
Googling bears this out, but I can't find a way to manually update the Apple DB. Which must mean that Apple does it magically. Try allowing your iPhone to get a precise GPS position and then use it over your WiFi access point to download an app or song from the iTune store.

Does System.currentTimeMillis() always return correct time?

Can i rely on it for performance testing?

It gets the time from the computer the application is running on. I can think of at least three things that will change this time:
1. A user (or another program) changes the time.
2. Your operating system changes the time automatically when daylight savings time starts or ends.
3. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is running on your computer and adjusts the time to match the time on some other computer;.

How to zip report output and send via mail from application

Hello,
I want to know how to zip the report output and send it by mail to concerned person from application
I want this as the report is having more than 70000s of records.
Also the XLS has the limitation of 2^16 records and the report is having more than this
Any help is very much appreciated
Regards,
Vani

1: Make a Dummy report. From some post parameter form trigger, run your original report with "srw.runreport" call. The original report can generate output to a file.
2: Then withing this dummy report run, call a user exit to zip the
original reports output. You need to write this user exit and attach them
with reports.
3: Now use Report 9i distribution for this dummy report to sent this external zip file through mail.

Generate dynamic reports using sql query and send via mail

Can anyone provide me the links to dynamically generate the sql query based reports and send it to Mail. it should be called from the scheduler program using PL/SQL

suppose you have the query as
spool myrep.txt
select * from emp where rowid<3;
spool off
write the query in the emp.sql query at any directory like d:\sqljobs\emp.sql
the call make a batch file like sndml.bat and write the following codes
sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @d:\sqljobs\emp.sql
explorer mailto:[email protected] d"\sqljobs\myrep.txt
or if you are using any mailing software then you can use that..

Ipod touch always changes the time and date when synced

Since I got my touch, even before any updates etc, every time I sync it the time and date changes, usually back about a week or so. Anyone else got this problem or any solution as its really annoying me. A cutting edge bit of kit that has practically every function that works so well and the clock and calendar cant keep time? weird....

Not true in all cases, I updated to 2.0 and had 2 problems: One App had a Bug *NOT Apple`s fault*, and the second was another App ( again, not Apples fault ) that went back to home screen after opening. This was solved by a simple reset ( I have the first batch of Touches, 16 gb ). And the battery thing, I haven`t noticed it at all, I have an almost full charge, and have been using it for 4 days, never shut it down, only sleep mode when not in use.

TS3899 Does anyone get "the message has no content." when using Yahoo mail? but i can always see the email on my Ipad, but not Iphone?

Seemed to have started once i went to Ver 7, but when i use my Ipad i can always see the email
in full?

I have this same problem on my iMac since installing Mavericks. The emails download, I can see who they are from and when they came, but nothing shows up in the message pane. I can see emails I got before I installed Mavericks, although about half of them did disappear. Sure would like to find a fix--perhaps the 10.9.1 update will do it?
