Ending date in repeated events bad

In Spanish iCal, at least, when you build a repeating event and try to write the ending date, iCal only shows you one digit for the month day. Then you need to place your selection there and use up/down arrows to reach the desired final date. Since the first digit of that day is not seen you need to imagine it based on the changing month under the arrows up/down scrolling of days!

Am facing the same issue with an iPad; but this is not the first time I've seen this happen. It has also happened when syncing from iCal to a Blackberry Curve via Blackberry Desktop Manager. Any repeated events - and not just from the iOS side of things - ANY repeated events cause this to happen.
iCal has the correct number of events and times, but as soon as you sync to another device, it becomes unusable. My wife runs a cleaning business where she constantly has to rearrange schedules for repeating customers. As soon as she does it once, she's got 2 copies of the same. Change the event twice, and suddenly she has 4 copies.
Please help.

My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

Hi,
To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
Give the datasource name, then the database name.
You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
Hope this helps...
best wishes,
Nish

How to set a default start and/or end date for New Events based on trigger date.

I'm using the CalendarActivityListener to get current row when clicking on an existing event. As per previous posts this listener gives you access to event detail including Start Date, End Date, etc.
However, what I want to do is to default the start (and end) dates for New Events based on the trigger date.
I've tried the CalendarListener and can grab the Trigger Date from it - however, I can't see a way to pass this directly to the popup/dialog I'm using to create the new event.
At present I'm putting the TriggerDate into the ADFContext session scope e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("TriggerDate",calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());
Then, I've tried multiple approaches to try and "get" the TriggerDate from session scope to drop it into my new Calendar Event basically, I'm trying to default the InputField(s) associated with the Start Date using the value from the session - I've tried
1. setting the default value for the InputField in the jspx using a binding expression i.e. value="#{sessionScope.TriggerDate}" - this actually sets the value appropriately when the jspx is rendered but, when I go to create I get a NPE and I can't debug. I assumed that it might be a Date type issue - it would appear that CalendarListener provides a date of type java.util.Date and that the StartDate attribute of my VO/EO/table is a DATE and therefore requires oracle.jbo.domain.Date so I tried casting it - to no effect
2. Using a Groovy expression *(StartDate==null?adf.context.sessionScope.TriggerDate:StartDate)* in my calendar's EventVO to default the Start Date to the same result
Any thoughts or ideas?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+

Sync end date of custom recurring events? - Outlook to iPod touch calendar

I've been having a particular problem with my "nonstandard" recurring appointments in Outlook that give rise to a custom recurring definition in the iPod touch I just got (software 2.1.1) when I sync with iTunes (8.0.0.35) on Windows XP by USB - I can't seem to get the end date (when there is one) to be sent to the iPod! So, for example, if I have a standard once a week event over the summer, it ends properly based on the end date, but if I have say an event every Monday and Thursday over the summer, the iPod has a "custom" recurring event definition created, but no space and no evidence of the end date, and the events keep getting shown after the Outlook defined end date (continuing after summer in this example).
I tried something called CompanionLink to see if I could get a more thorough sync, but it seems to rely on the iTunes sync. I had become used to Pocket Informant on my old Pocket PC (until the Pocket PC was just crashing too often to be functional, thus the recent purchase of an iPod touch - which even if the calendar won't sync completely has allowed me to move enough programs off the Pocket PC to have it trimmed down and working better again!). I hear the people that make Pocket Informant are working on an iPhone / iPod touch version.
In the meantime, any suggestions about the lack of end date syncing for custom recurring events, other than waiting for an Apple update (how, by the way, can i make a request to Apple? - it wasn't too clear to me on this website).
Thanks!

Repeat event option -- end 'on date' not functional

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem
I've selected the "end 'on date'" feature for repeating...
and nothing shows up to type in a date...

I had the exact same problem. The first few events I made on my exchange account were repeating ones with an end date. As soon as I refreshed in iCal all of my events disappeared. Since I didn't have any non-end dated events I did not suspect the "end on" date to be the problem. I then stumbled onto your thread, replaced the "end on" date with a certain amount of weeks in outlook live, refreshed my exchange account in ical, and the lost events finally appeared again. It is a very annoying bug, but I am glad that you posted a work around! Hopefully Apple can fix this on the next update??

If I have a repeating event in iCal, can I attach different docs, pdfs, etc., do the events. I am entering lessonplans and want each date to have an attachment.

Yes. As you edit each one, you will get a dialog asking whether you want to change all or just the current one.

How to change both start and end dates for an business event (or any object

Hi all.
We are in the case to change the validity dates for several business events in training management.
The special point is that both, start and end date, have to be changed.
In example, business event 00000001 is valid from 2010.01.01 to 2010.01.31 and shoud be "moved" from 2010.05.01 to 2010.05.31.
So if i run RHBEGDA0 report to change start date first, it doesn't work propperly because new start date is bigger than old enddate.
Next thing we thought is to change end date first, using RHGRENZ1, and then change the start date, with the report RHBEGDA0. Problem with this solution is that a business event duration shoud be calculated taking care of free days (weekends and day ofs).
Is there any better solution for this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Hi,
I gueass the best solution is to use PV1A t-code.
You can write an LSMW for this t-code if the number of business events to be maintained is huge.

Calendar app changes End date of all-day events? Grrrr.

Okay this is getting incredibly frustrating. I use all-day events essentially as to-Do's. Things I have to do on a given day but no assigned time to do them.
(I can't stand the idea of a separate to do list from my calendar so don't bother suggesting that please)
If I do the task, I simply delete the to-do (I.e. I delete the all-day event).
If I am unable to do it on the given date, I move it to a later date. Sometimes the best day, sometimes a few days later.
Here is what happens...
- I select the event
- I hit Edit
- I hit the Start/End date, up comes the date scroll wheel
- I change the start date, which also changes the end date to match, then hit Done
- when I am back to the event listing, the end date has CHANGED. Sometimes it's a day later, sometimes several. No rhyme or reason or pattern I can discern.
Help as this is really annoying.
This was happening on my iPad 2 and is now happening on my New iPad.

Nope. In fact, not only have I not fixed it, I now also have a new problem with iCal events - both timed and all day.
Some, for no rhyme or reason, add an alert. They always seem to be the day before at 9am alerts.
If I go into the event and remove the alert, it will often recreate the alert a few days later.
VERY FRUSTRATING!!

ICal and Calendar sync one week apart for Repeating events

Hi,
First Post here. Look forward to sticking around. I have been reading the forum avidly since I received my iphone 3g on July 11th.
So here is the issue: It is in regards to events that I created on my iphone that are scheduled to repeat each week, but then end on a certain day. This works perfectly fine in the iphone so far, but when it syncs with iCal it always ends one week earlier than on the iphone. The iphone will remain the proper date, whereas iCal ends one week early.
I won't go on longer, but has anyone else had this issue? Maybe you should double check your dates if you have any repeated events scheduled in your phone, and compare them with iCal to double check they are right.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
Cam

I guess I should have added that with Outlook, I am connect to Exchange.

Repeating event doesn't show

Hello, I am having trouble with one peculiar event type in iCal.
I sync a Palm with iCal via Mark/Space. Fairly trouble-free. However, I have noticed one small bug.
My work schedule repeats over two consecutive days and has different start times every second day. For example, on Monday I work 7:00am -3:00pm, same on Tuesday. But Wednesday and Thursday it's 3:00pm-11:00pm, etc. The third rotation is 11:00 pm and ends at 7:00am. I notice that iCal understands the first two sets (I enter one and make it a "repeating event, end on <the following day>), but for the overnight shift, it only displays the first of the two. That second overnight shift does not show up in any view: day, week, or month. My Palm does display it perfectly. Is this iCal not playing nice with events that span midnight?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Interesting... I've reset my Mark/Space and effectively had the handheld overwrite the iCal and restored all of my calandars. One problem solved. My first problem, the one about the second overnight event, persisted.
I opened iCal, clicked on the first overnight event, then clicked on the day (xx) of the "end on date" 3/xx/06. Just clicking on this one thing made the second overnight event suddenly appear. I hadn't even changed the day, I just highlighted it. I repeated this for each of the buggy overnight events and it fixed each one.

Problem when sync repeat events with ical

Hi all,
I've a strange problem that happen when I sync repeated events on my mac versus iphone...
With iCal I can see correctly an events repeated for example for two days... (using the option repeat every day with an end date). After syncing, on imac it will be correct but on iphone (3.1.2) the same event are repeated with one more day added, three instead of two:(
Any idea about that?
Kind regards,
Stefano

Hi guys, any idea?

ICal repeating events become invisible if using Exchange 2010

I recently upgraded from Exchange 2007 server to Exchange 2010.
I had PREVIOUSLY been impressed by well iCal under Snow Leopard worked with Exchange Server. Everything was great. But, after upgrading to Exch 2010, many of my repeating calendar items became invisible in iCal.
I did some searching on the Internet, and found I am not alone. My service provider support desk was also able to reproduce on their end.
Steps:
Connect to an Exchange 2010 account using Snow Leopard iCal.
RESULT: All repeating calendar with end dates will be missing.
Workaround: Remove the end date, or use a fixed number of repetitions rather than and end date.
Another Workaround: Get Entourage to sync to Exchange, then get Entourage to sync with iCal. OK, but there seems to be some bugs there too where things don't always sync right.
Since most people use repeating events, Mac users should avoid upgrading to Exchange 2010 for now.

Workflow Substitutions - Force Validity End Date

Is there a way I can configure Business Workplace Substitution Validity date from and to dates to fall within a specific range? Can I prevent someone from using the default 12/31/9999 date when creating a substitute?

Hi Mark,
Well for starters a lot depends on:
a) What release/environment are you using?
b) What type of substitution - user to user or position to person are you using?
If you are using position to person, that's HR infotype A210 so you could use HR Structural Authorisations to only allow the infotype to be created e.g. up to the end of the current year.
If you are using user to user, its a bit harder. In that case its based on table HRUS_D2, which only checks the end date is a valid date.
So you would really have to code in an additional check from wherever you are maintaining the data.
So now the question is, how do your users maintain substitutions? i.e. in which release/environment? using which maintenance tool? Then you need to check out how that tool works.
E.g. you might be using the API SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_MAINTAIN or the table maintenance generated for HRUS_D2.
E.g. if its just the table maintenance view, you could add a table maintenance generation "event" with your additional check (go to the table maintenance generation and try menu Environment > Modification > Events).
Unfortunately the other maintenance tools use function modules - none of which currently offer any BADIs or user exits for adding additional checks. So at this stage it would be a mod. But a good thing to ask for in a development request perhaps.

Jocelyn

High school block schedule repeating events

I'm a high school teacher looking forward to the upcoming fall schedule. I teach at a school where even period and odd period classes are taught on alternate days and I teach only odd schedule classes. So, one week the class is taught on Mon, Wed, Fri and the next week it is Tu and Th except for weeks that have holidays. What is the best way to use repeating events and make up the schedule for this semester (ending 1/28/08 so I also know at a glance what days I'm available to substitute for other instructors?
