Open an Outlook calendar page

Hi everybody,
we have the customer requirement opening an outlook calender page from a Web Dynpro application.
scenario:
1. User clicks on a button,
2. A new Outlook calendar page will be opened,
3. On the opened Outlook calendar page, there are some text informations passed by the Web Dynpro application...
Is that scenario possible? And if not, should we use additional tools like SAP PI to implement this scenario?
regards,
Sid

Hi,
You can use something like this:
http://www.moyosoft.com/joc/
This is not Open-Source, it might be the case that Apache POI is working on something for Outlook now since Microsoft release the main API calls not too long ago.
You will need the native library, and I assume somehow you can do a WebStart application to run the code in the client machine. Information regarding Java WebStart can be found on http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp
I did not really investigate other ways of doing this, maybe there are better approaches.
Also, take a look here http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/Third_Party.html
Hope it helps,
Daniel

Can't open the outlook calendar

Windows8.1, Outlook2013, Exchange 2013, online mode
Suddenly Outlook faces the issue which can't open the calendar, when click schedule butten, Outlook is closed forcely.
It's coming from calendar folder bigger size, there's no way to reduce items in that way
Would you please give me any solution?

Hello,
Sometimes these types of issues prompt in Outlook. Try and open Outlook with the command “cleanviews”. And to do so, Open “Search” box and type “Outlook.exe /cleanviews” .
Or clear the forms cache. To clear the form cache in Outlook,
Make a Right click on the folder with issue>>Properties>>tab forms>>button manage>>Clear Cache.

Issue with Copy of events from Outlook Calendar to SharePoint 2010 calendar(mapped in outlook)

There is a issue while copying events in Outlook mapped SharePoint 2010 Calendar.
This issue only seems to happen when user copies an event from his Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
He is able to create a new event in the SharePoint calendar from Outlook.
He tried below steps, but still no success
1.
Open your Outlook calendar.
2. Open the event you want to copy.
3. From the File menu, select Info.
4. Click the Move to Folder button.
5. In the Copy Items To dialog box, scroll down to the SharePoint Lists item and select the SharePoint calendar to which you want to copy the event.
6. Click the OK button.
7. Click the Yes button when prompted to continue.
Please let me know if there is any possible solution for it.

Hi,
I have done a test as your steps. I am able to copy an event from my Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
1. I suggest you test in another compute, perhaps your Outlook results to that issue.
2. Please create a new site collection, then test again, compare the result.
3. Maybe it will take some time before the copied event displays in the SharePoint 2010 calendar. So, wait a minute, compare the result.

OVI Sync and Multiple Outlook Calendars

I have two MS Outlook calendars at work - one is for professional engagements the other is for private stuff.
In the Nokia PC Suite I was prompted to select which of these would be sync'd to my phone but I can't find how to do this in OVI suite and by default it's syncing to the wrong one (the one on the work server, as opposed to my local calendar)
Can anyone shed any light on how to specify which Outlook calender my phone will sync to?
I'd like to start using the OVI suite - mainly just to remain 'current' - but the calendar sync is a deal-breaker!
Thanks all!
Ian

As a variant to Ian's question below, I actually want to sync multiple calendars from my Outlook onto my E71.
On my Outlook, I have my calendar and I also subscribe to an internet calendar, which show up nicely layered in different colors on my Outlook calendar page.
On the PC Suite sync setup page I see the 2 calendars from my Outlook but it limits me to selecting ONLY ONE of the calendars for syncing. I would like to be able to select both.
Any ideas out there? It feels like I'm just missing a step, since I can see the calendar choices.

How to open a specific Calendar in Outlook

Hi,
I'm struggling to find an example on other forums, or not understanding the code.
I want to open a non-default calendar in Outlook to create an appointment (it's a hotmail account, which is shared with a couple of people, so that they can all see the same appointment in outlook).
The account is in the form of "[email protected]". I've tried 3 different examples I've found on forums and none work. Here's the code that works for the default calendar, so I'm after the code to open the specific calendar (the
variable passed as strCalendar).
Public Function fnCreateOutlookAppointment(strStartDate As String, Optional strEndDate As String, Optional strEventTitle As String, Optional strLocation As String, Optional strDetails As String, Optional intDuration As Integer, Optional strStartTime As String,
Optional strEmailList As String, Optional strStatus As String, Optional strAction As String, Optional blnAllDay As Boolean, Optional intReminderTime As Integer, Optional strCalendar As String)
Dim olApp As New outlook.Application
Dim olAppointment As AppointmentItem
Dim myRequiredAttendee As outlook.Recipient
Set olAppointment = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
If Len(strStartTime) < 1 Then
strStartTime = "09:00:00"
End If
If blnAllDay = Null Then
blnAllDay = False
End If
If Len(strEndDate) < 1 Then
strEndDate = strStartDate
End If
With olAppointment
.Start = DateValue(strStartDate) + TimeValue(strStartTime)
.Duration = intDuration
.Subject = strEventTitle
.Location = strLocation
.Body = strDetails
Select Case strStatus
Case "Free"
.BusyStatus = olFree
Case Else
.BusyStatus = olBusy
End Select
Select Case blnAllDay
Case True
.AllDayEvent = True
Case Else
.AllDayEvent = False
End Select
.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = intReminderTime
.ReminderSet = True
If Len(strEmailList) > 0 Then 'only add if email addresses supplied (and using ; as a break e.g. "[email protected];[email protected]"
Set myRequiredAttendee = .Recipients.Add(strEmailList)
myRequiredAttendee.Type = olRequired
End If
If strAction = "save" Then
.Save
Else
.Display
End If
End With
Set olAppointment = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Function
_________________________________________________________ Every day is a school day!

Hi ChrisJC,
To get the specific calendar folder (non-default folder), please refer to this code below:
Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim MyItemsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myAppoint As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Set oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set MyItemsFolder = oNS.Folders("[email protected]").Folders.Item("Calendar")
Then you could add appointment item by using
Items.Add method.
Set myAppoint = MyItemsFolder.Items.Add(olAppointmentItem)

I emailed my Outlook calendar to myself and opened it on the iPhone, I accepted all appointments to the apple calendar, they show fine on the iPhone but do not sync to all other devices, why?

I use Outlook at work, I email the next week's calendar to my iPhone. I then open the email in apple mail on my iPhone and click "accept all", which populates all events onto my apple calendar. All good so far. Now I open my iPad, mac etc and the events are never sync'd over. I test by creating new test events on iPhone and iPad and Mac and they all are able to create events that instantly sync to all other devices, cool. If I open an event on the iPhone that was pulled in from the emailed Outlook calendar, and then hit edit then save, magically it shows up on all devices. But that is for that event only. The Outlook calendar I sent and accepted into the iPhone calendar had 35 events, it is too cumbersome to open each and hit edit/save so that they will all sync to all apple calendars on my various devices. Help!

You should be able to set up numerous IMAP accounts on your iPhone with no problems.
IMAP will not sync contacts and calendars in your local copy of Outlook.

Event created for SharePoint Calendar opened in Outlook, not showing in SP

I have a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise calendar list that I have "open in outlook"
In Outlook 2013, in the opened SharePoint calendar, I create a few events. None of them show up in the SharePoint list , they only remain visible in my Outlook Calendar. I had users report this problem to me when we were still using SharePoint
2007, I had hope this error had been fixed... but I shouldn't be surprised to see that it's still happening.
How can this be fixed? I have users who are depending upon this SharePoint calendar to be accurate. I have no way of knowing that evetns created in Outlook are failing to show in SharePoint. Help please

Hi Vince,
According to your description, my understanding is that the event made in Outlook don’t sync to SharePoint site’s calendar.
Please try to use the ScanPST program to repaire the SharePoint PST file, compare the result.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

Cant open Outlook calendar invites

I receive outlook calendar invites in my me.com mailbox and unable to open and save to my iphone iCalendar. I have to wait to get home on MacBook and open via Entourage. I do not use Outlook Exchange as I am on Government restricted intranet (NMCI) so have to forward events to my personal iphone (government will only give me basic phone so I use my iPhone as it is much more useful).

I am having the same problem. I am forwarding calendar invites from my work account (Outlook) to my MobileMe account, so I can get the reminders on my iPhone - BUT, when I do that, *ics file just sits as an attachment in Mail, and I can't do anything with it unless I use my Mac.

Outlook connector - how can I open other users calendars at startup?

Hello!
How can I open a list of other users calendars at startup (outlook with Oracle outlook connector software installed)?
Is it possible?
Regards,
Konstantin.

Question:
Were you able to solve this issue? I too would like to have the ability to automatically open other users' calendar when Outlook loads.
I did find one unreliable workaround is this; I am able to add a link of the other users' calendar on the shortcut bar. This way, when a user logs on, s/he can click on the link to get to other's calendars.
However, I say its unreliable because every once in a while, I get the error message "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The entry Id passed in does not refer to a valid object."
To resolve this, I must go back to files -> open -> Other user's folders. Open the calendar before it works agin.

Can't open someones others calendar with Outlook Connector

Hi,
I can't open someones others calendar from within Outlook Connector. Outlook 2003 complains: Your profile is not configured to .....
What could be the reason and what's a possible solution ? I can open my calendar on the server, with the Calendar Client, I can open someones calendar, also with the Webclient.
Regs
Eric

Strange - I just configured 3 users with shared calendars, all running Office 20043/Outlook. This works fine, and all are able to watch each others calendar when the set up a meeting.
To be able to fully read another users calendar, I suppose the calendar owner must grant you rights to modify on behalf of the him?

Open Calendar page - perfomance issue

Hi,
I've created a Calendar page based on a single table.
The performance decreased by increasing the volume of data in a the current month: when the page opened at the first time, by default it loads all the data for the current month.
Is there a manner to open a Calendar page and loading data of the current day or week instead of the current month?
How could we improve the performance for this page?

Error while importing categories to Outlook calendar

Hi there!
I'm sharing an Outlook calendar with my colleagues, and its events are categorized with colors. I found
this page for importing the categories to every local machine, and it worked! But for 2 users only were imported three of four categories, and I couldn't make that the missing category were included in the Master Category List.
What more can I do for making real the importing?
Thank you, so much.

Hi,
Are the two users using same email type with other users?
Please try backing up the Categories again from a working computer and then import the new back-up file on the two users' computer to check the result.
In addition, we can also try starting Outlook with
outlook.exe /remigratecategories switch to see if it will get a same result. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /remigratecategories and press Enter.
Please let me know the result.

Itunes/Outlook Calendar Syncing Issue - UTF-8 Flavor

I have had the usual and much discussed issue of outlook calendar does not sync with iTunes. The recommendations have been to remove iTunes and re-install, even blow away all the configuration files as well, and it even worked for me once. But not this time.
I was running Windows XP, and all of a sudden the Outlook 2007 calendar just stopped syncing. I upgraded from XP to 8.1, and that was not fun, but inevitable, and still didn’t correct the problem. Now, if you never upgraded from XP to 8.1 – you can’t – at least it is not a direct flight. First, you have to upgrade from XP to 8.0, then from 8.0 to 8.1, and there is no upgrade in place from XP to 8.0. So what does an upgrade in place mean? Your applications and profiles are not carried over. Just your data (if you ask nicely) is carried over – but all applications have to be re-installed from scratch, and reactivated if there was license activation.
So, forget about re-install of iTunes, I changed OS, reinstalled iTunes and Office 2007 from scratch. And still had the syncing problem. So, I wasn’t getting off easy.
In searching, I found some debugging stuff which I tried, as follows to turn on logging:
So, I ran the following:
cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
defaults write com.apple.Outlook.client.exe ShouldLog YES
defaults write -globalDomain SyncServicesLogEverything YES
defaults write -globalDomain SyncServicesLogPersonalInfo YES
And this turned on a lot of tracing. The tracing helped me understand what was going on under the covers, But I am not sure I was getting enough of the information that I needed to really zero in on the bad record.
Now, I will pause and provide some observation of my specific Sync.
An iTunes Sync on a Windows machine when using Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer is selected on the INFO tab of the page for the device.
Selections include Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and Notes.
One of the programs involved with Outlook Synchronization is: com.apple.Outlook.client.exe
The program is called when Outlook data needs to be accessed, and is used for contacts, calendar and notes when those items are paired between the iDevice and Outlook. Bookmarks are usually paired with the browser, for example IE.
During the sync operation, each of these are sync’d separately, that is why if you follow the sync actions, iTunes will reflecting what is being synced at the moment, for example “syncing contacts”.
When syncing the calendar, and iTunes is running a slow sync, it reads the Outlook calendar using the com.apple.Outlook.client.exe and does processing of the recursion and time zone information.
For example, for recurrence:
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Setting recurrence data <04300430 0d200200 000000ae 06000c00 00000000 00000400 00002120 0000e703 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000a0e7 980cc016 d10c0630 00000830 00000000 0000a005 00000000 00000000 00000000>
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] 0 recurrence exceptions
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Reading the Extended Exception Info (i.e. Unicode data)
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:59 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Done making compatible recurrence
For example, for timezone:
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:30:43 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] Could not create a time zone from outlook name, tried using name (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Then the calendar entries are pushed, for example:
ca965dbc4717d9488fafc9266f1f829304082700 =     {
        "all
day" = 1;
        calendar
=         (
            ca965dbc4717d9488fafc9266f1f829382800000
"com.apple.outlook.freebusy" = Free;
"com.apple.syncservices.RecordEntityName" = "com.apple.calendars.Event";
        "end date" = "2020-05-11 12:00:00 +0000";
        location = "United States";
        "start date" = "2020-05-10 12:00:00 +0000";
        summary = "Mother's Day";
So, my SYNC fails, and I crash and burn with:
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:41:22 2014] [_ISDVLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] SyncServices assertion failure (nil != strUTF8) in [(null) (null)], SDLogging.m:641 could not obtain UTF-8 flavor of formatted string
[5484 @ Tue Jul 01 10:41:23 2014] [YSLog com.apple.Outlook.client.exe] objcMain caught an exception:
name
NSInternalInconsistencyException
reason     : [(null)
(null)]: could not obtain UTF-8 flavor of formatted string
user info : (null)
call stack : (
Now I’m back. So, during the extract and push of the outlook calendar entries, iTunes is building formatted strings. Now, Unicode is usually 16 bit (2 characters) Unicode, sometimes called double byte code. UTF-8 is single byte, so realize you can’t squeeze 16 bits into a 8 bit byte. However, you could if the Unicode string only contained characters that were valid for the UTF-8 character set. My interpretation of the error message above was that somewhere a formatted character string contained a “non-UTF-8” character and raised the assertion. Now, my issue with the excessive detailing from the logs was that – at least with the logging parameters I had turned on – I couldn’t figure out which calendar entry caused the exception to be thrown.
First instinct was that the last calendar entry in the trace was the culprit, so I deleted that calendar entry, ran again, the sync went up to the previous entry, and threw the exception. This gives me two theories: Either the sync was processing the next entry – which wasn’t printed in the trace yet – and failed, or the sync was going back to previous records – like reviewing the buffer. In either case, the trace wasn’t helping and it was all theories.
Now what? What has everyone been saying? Issues with recurrence. And in the trace, as you see above as an example, “0 recurrence exceptions”, “reading the extended exception info (i.e. Unicode data)”.
Now, I have no clue what that means. My initial guess was that recurrence exceptions (I had non-zeros on some) was an error. But further research I realized what it could mean was that these were situations where there were recurrence exceptions. What is a recurrence exception? Suppose I want to schedule a meeting on the 4th day of the month, for every month of the year. Well, except maybe July 4th, because it is a holiday and the office is closed. I would send the meeting invite, and then a cancellation for the July 4th. (I hear there is no simple way to do this). I now have an exception because I broke the recurrence chain. Other forms of exceptions is if I keep changing the location, or the body of the invite – e.g. every month I update the agenda, but only for one recurrence, not the entire series.
So, keep in mind, that if the issue is conversion to a UTF-8 character, and it is failing, then uninstall/reinstall of anything is not going to help if the real issue at hand is the data in Outlook and is not a coding or configuration issue. Now, sometimes it is an issue, but you need to see why the syncserver tasks are failing, and may fail due to other reasons including other data issues.
So, what did I do? Well IO have 15K calendar entries, which, was taking an hour or two to slow sync (I call it a slow dance) and I was,spending days (maybe a couple of weeks) trying to fix this – and frustration was on the high end.
I removed some of my older recurrences, and changed others from never expire to like 25 maximum occurrences. No idea which one worked, or even if it was a coincidence. However, the UTF-8 error went away, and then I moved to the next issue.
Now, before we get there, with outlook 2007 finding recurrences is not difficult. Go into the calendar, and select appointment or list view (Outlook 2013 list view works ok). You can then sort on the recurrence column and see which (if any) items gave a recurrence pattern. Now maybe someone can figure out specific BAD calendar items that are throwing the exception to give us a better idea of what to look for and then report it so we can do further research.
Now, once we can get the issue out of the way, stop iTunes from throwing an exception, we are not 100% done yet. By this time what is in Outlook and on the iDevice is out of sync. We need to get that message to popup asking us if we want to merge the data between the iDevice and Outlook. This can be important if you don’t want to lose data. My issue is that with iTunes 11.2.2 for some reason won’t do it, i.e. when I select “reset sync history” it doesn’t work. At that point I was forced to rename my iTunesprefs, the syncserver folder, and a few other folders. In this case, for Windows 7 and later, the folders in “Apple Computer” of both the local and roaming paths, and I had to cancel running tasks that had those folders open. One way or another, you want the iTunes message asking if you want to merge the folders.
What can you do to help?
Report success or failures using the information above
Report if you are getting the same UTF-8 message, or if you are seeing other exceptions
Report specific cases of calendar entries that you find that you have isolated to be throwing an exception
Report any other logging/tracing parameters that you may find. It looks like you can turn on “ShouldLog” using the defaults.exe command for other tasks that iTunes runs.
This syncing issue has been going on for years, under different iTunes versions, there has to be something going on and an easier way to troubleshoot this problem. I wish I had the time, but right now I fixed the problem I had and was able to resync my Outlook with my two iPads and iPhone.
The only issue I have left at the moment is the message “the ipad xxx cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54). – despite this error message, I am syncing, but the message is distracting and annoying.

Yes - both have time zone support and are set to London/GMT
The most recent of these aberrations was not even crossing a DST change - just a simple recurring event (which I've manually changed to single events by copy/paste).
I just tried a new one which goes back 1 hr 27 Oct - when UK clocks go back. As it's a dummy apt I'll leave it and see if if goes back to the correct time on 27 Oct! In the meantime, I can't afford for my appts to get screwed up so will continue to do them manually!
Thanks for your input.
