ical appointment time offset

[markdissington]

Hi,

We’re current evaluating Formativ Rumtime simply for the ical conversion function.

However, I have just download and installed the trials of both and an appointment sent from an Exchange account to Groupwise is always offset by an hour (both systems are setup in the UK using DST). It looks as though the Exchange server always tags appoints as GMT regardless and therefore ical is ‘helpfully’ shifting the appointment by an hour to the DST time.

Is this correct? Is there any way to fix this? All we wish to do is receive ical appointments for external Exchange systems and put them into GroupWise correctly.

Thanks,
Mark.

Our engineers recently made some changes to the solution (version 1.0.15) which could solve the day-light issue. We have sent the updated version to you by email.

Hi,

Thanks for the update, it seems to have sorted the hour offset issue. One other thing I have just noticed is that there is no support for recurring appointments, they just select the first instance of the appointment to be added.

Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, recurring appointment not supported in this version. I have forwarded your request to engineering for consideration in a future release. Please note, Applets supplied to the Novell Cool Solutions area are not supported by Advansys. However, our engineers try to update the solutions when the resources becomes available.

If you require this feature sooner, Advansys offers a custom development service; contact support@advansyscorp.com to discuss this option.

Ok, well in that case we will review the solution again if/when recurring appointments are added.

Thanks for your help,
Mark.
