ICalendar Reminders - Custom Times?

I try to take advantage of as many of the built in apps as I can on my iPhone and iPad. The one I really haven't given much use to is the calendar. This was primarily because back when I first got the phone, I hated having to type events in using the keypad and preferred something I could access from a PC that would update the app on my phone etc. (my baby girl iMac had to get sold in favor of a Dell). Now with iCloud this has been solved for me however so I'm considering moving everything into iCalendar and out of the app I use that has much less functionality.
Here's my one and only issue... I can't seem to find a way to select a reminder for an event that is any earlier than 2 days out. Is that the case or am I missing a way to create a custom reminder (i.e. 1 week)?

Ok I see where I can set "1 Week" using the phone but not in iCloud. That's kinda silly. Anyone know how to do 1 week or custom in iCloud (or custom on iPhone other than 1 week)?

How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

Hello guys,
Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
All help appreciated!
Greetings

Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
There are also many third party menu item utilities that can. Search Macupdate.com for some.
One search yielded iClock Pro. Although I never used it I would think it allows customization. The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app. On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing.
One listed is iStat Menus. The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that. And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date. So I use it instead of the apple clock. It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

Custom Timer Job to execute WCF web service error - Could not find default endpoint element that references contract

Hi,
I am currently creating custom timer job to call WCF web service to perform nighty job to update employee document library metadata. If I update regular list/library items it updates correctly on a specified interval basis. However when I try to integrate
the WCF client, it throws error shown below :
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract EmployeeServiceReference.
EmployeeServiceClient in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
I followed exact instructions Andrew Connell has provided but included my logic in execute()
public
override
void Execute(Guid
targetInstanceId)
var empClient =
new
'ServiceReference.EmployeeServiceClient();
var employee = empClient.EmployeesMethod();
I have tried all approaches to manually adding app.config settings in sharepoing web.config but still it throws the error mentioned. It seems that application config and sharepoint site config binding issue still exist and cannot be resolved.

Will you please help resolving this issue?

Hi,
You can use any of the three approaches:-
1) Access web application's web.config programmatically in Execute() method.
http://praveenkasireddy.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/access-web-application-configuration-values-in-timer-job-sharepoint/
2) Store the configuration in xml and upload it to SharePoint document library then read from there
http://www.sharepointdynamics.net/2011/08/using-an-xml-settings-file-to-store-values-for-your-sharepoint-projects/
3) Programmatically configure a WCF endpoint.

Custom Timer Jobs not visible in Central Admin Job Definitions

I have multiple custom timer jobs which I was using on old farm, and it was successfully working and was visible in the Central Admin Job Definitions.
But ever since I moved to new farm, by restoring the site collections from old to new farm, and deployed the custom timer jobs on new farm, they are not visible in Central Admin Job Definitions.
I tried to change the scope of the solution to "Web Application", and deployed it's wsp in new farm, then also they are not visible in Job Definitions. But I can see them in "Farm Solutions", they have been successfully deployed.
Please suggest what should I do.

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb wb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
if (wb == null)
throw new SPException("Error obtaining reference to context Site ");
// make sure the job isn't already registered
foreach (SPJobDefinition job in wb.Site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
if (job.Name == List_JOB_NAME)
job.Delete();
RSS listLoggerJob = new RSS(List_JOB_NAME, wb.Site.WebApplication);
SPHourlySchedule schedule = new SPHourlySchedule();
schedule.BeginMinute = 0;
schedule.EndMinute = 59;
listLoggerJob.Schedule = schedule;
listLoggerJob.Update();
public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb wb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
// delete the job
foreach (SPJobDefinition job in wb.Site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
if (job.Name == List_JOB_NAME)
job.Delete();

Adding custom time field in service order

Hi Gurus,
Our customer wants us to add product date and time. I use transaction EEWB to add this date and time filed. In EEWB field types are only BOOL,CHAR,DATS and NUMC. I can add my date by selecting DATS. But how can I create my time field that after cerating I will see it in the table cRMD_ORDERADM_H with data type TIMS??
Do I have to use defined date profile entries to take my time value??? Can't we use custom time field in service??? if yes how??

Hi,
You can make date fields available at item nivel without create custom fields.
All you have to do is create a date profile and assign it to your item category.
To create a date profile:
transaction SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Basic Functions->Date Management->Define Date Profile
To assign to an item category:
transaction SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Transactions->Basic Settings->Define Item Categories
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards,

Disable event firing while updating list item in custom timer job

Hi
I am adding new items in the list usign custom timer job.
While adding the items in the list event receiver of another list (which is not related to list which is updating) is getiing fired due to which I am getting data wrongly updated and exceptions are comming.
why the another lists event recevier is executing while updating my list?
How can I disable event firing from timer job code?
please suggest any solution

Hello,
It seems you have deployed your event receiver globally and it is applied to all the lists. I can suggest two ways:
1. Either you update your event receiver feature.xml file and attached to specific list, wherever you want. You can follow below link to attach event with specific list via code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.speventreceiverdefinition.aspx
Or instead of code you can also pass ListUrl in feature.xml file:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff398052.aspx
2. OR delete event receiver from the list: You can use below code in your timer job to delete event receiver

Hope it could help

Not able to send mail in a custom timer job

Hi,
I have implemented a custom timer job to send a mail when a list data field is equal to the current date.
I have debugged the code in VS and it is executed correctly if I am using it in a button click event of a webpart .
But problem is its not sending the mails while I am appling the same code as a timer job.
Can somebody help me out?
BR,
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
I agree with Martin, you definetly need to log what happens inside the timer job.
I suggest to always use a try / catch block within the methods of your assembly, and trace out (using System.Diagnostics.Trace, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.trace.aspx and its methods for example, TraceInformation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.trace.traceinformation.aspx) the exceptions if happen. Also, it is good practice to trace out each entry and exit points. Use the WinDbg (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc266321.aspx, http://windbg.dumpanalysis.org/) to catch the output.
You can redirect the trace output to file (see <listeners> Element for <trace> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zh3a61fw.aspx, and Trace Listeners http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa983739(VS.71).aspx)
You can even write your log messages to SharePoint Unified Logging System as described here:
SharePoint: Writing messages to ULS (Unified Logging System)

Migrate Inplace Custom Timer Job to Online

Hi All,
I am pretty new in SharePoint Online, we have planned to migrate all SharePoint 2010 In-place contents to SharePoint Online. We have few timer jobs deployed in our farm and do not have access to Online servers to migrate custom timer jobs.
Hence what should be the best strategy to migrate these?
Regards,
Ripon Kundu

Timer jobs cannot be migrated or created in Office 365. You do not have the access to run those things.
You'll have to re-design your solution.

Customized Time Operation

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a customized operation in TIME module.
I have been given a reference of t-code PDSY which is used to create documentation for a HR Document.
I need help with the following:
1. What is the t-code to create a customized time operation?
2. Any info. on how to create a customized time operation?
Thanks,
Saleem

Saleem,
Why dont you go and check the coding for OUTWP operation in PE04.
give operation as OUTWP and DISPLAY.
In the top you will see button for disp/change, where used, SOURCE CODE, documentation.
click on SOURCE CODE and you will be able to see 2 programs. Check how the programming is done for OUTWP. Specially the second program.
Depending on the parameter like cost center or plant etc different variable keys are passed back.
This should give you an idea on how you should be able to create your custom operation. Take the help of an ABAPer to understand it better.
All the best
Ajay

Reg Custom Time Zone in java

Hi ,
Have configured the custom Time Zone (SAST) in the Linux box.
The sh clock of the Linux box gives the custom Time Zone (SAST).
Whereas the java application gives the date in GMT Time Zone.
Noticed from the java docs that, if the custom time zone string (SAST) doesn't match the syntax ( like GMT +Value or GMT-Value) , "GMT" is used.
Even if we create SimpleTimeZone with offset from GMT, it displays the date in GMT format. It wont display the custom Time Zone.
Could anybody please suggest me a way to support Custom Time Zone in java?
(i.e.) The java application should give the date in custom Time Zone (SAST) instead of GMT format.
FYI : Java version : "1.5.0_17"
================== Snippet from java docs====================================
The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard. No daylight saving time transition schedule can be specified with a custom time zone ID. If the specified string doesn't match the syntax, "GMT" is used.
Java doc URL : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html

hi Kumar,
You can change the timezone of the JVMs using the -Duser.timezone
parameter, add -Duser.timezone=<timezone> to all dispatcher and
server processes in your systems, using the configtool
1) open config tool
2) select yes
3) select "cluster-data->instanceXXX->serverXXX/Dispatcher"
4) in "Java parameters" add new line "-Duser.timezone=<timezone>"
5) click "Apply changes"
6) restart your instance
Let me know how is the result
Regards

Recovering Notes and Reminders from Time Machine Backup

There doesn't seem to be any consistency for how Time Machine recovery works with apps. With some apps, like mail, if you're in mail when you enter Time Machine, you actually see your old (backed-up) versions of mail from which you can simply recover an email message. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and Notes and Reminders are now their own apps. If I open Time Machine with either Notes or Reminders on the screen, TM opens with a Finder window. Is there any way to recover individual Notes or Reminders (as in mail) through TM? Or, is there a way to recover an entire Notes database from TM?
Thanks,
John

First run Time Machine to make a current backup of all your files.
Next, make a backup of your current notes by mailing them to yourself.
Then backup Reminders using
Reminders > File > Export...
To restore Notes and Reminders from Time Machine:
- Login to iCloud.com.
- Notes.
- Mail each note to yourself as a backup.
- Quit iCloud.
- Reminders > File > Export...
- Turn off wi-fi.
- Quit Notes.
- Option-Go > Library > Containers .
- Enter Time Machine.
- Select a date.
- Restore com.apple.notes .
- Restore com.apple.reminders .
- Start Notes.
- Start Reminders.
- Turn on wi-fi.

CustomTimer ct = new CustomTimer ();
ct.run (hello);
hi.add (hello);
contents.add (hi);
public static void main (String[] args)

Can anyone tell me why the clock does not run concurrently with the program?
