819.0. "Time Management conflicts cannot be edited correctly." by WAYOUT::CROOKS (Things that make you go Hmmmmm....) Fri Jun 05 1992 13:03

Hello,

Time Management on 2.4 + 3.0

Customer's heavy TM users have a problem with conflicts and editing thereof.

Basically the situation is that say user A creates a meeting inviting user B
for 10 am 4-Jun-1992. Then later on user A schedules some recurring events 
inviting several users including user B. However one of these recurring events
is the same date + time as the first meeting above. User B has already read 
the first invite and said Yes I will attend. However he now gets the 
second invite and due to their working practises he accepts that as well 
ie says Yes to attending. Then at a later date he will decide which he will 
be attending. He then decides that the first invite is the one he will attend 
and so goes to TM EV to select the second event to change that to notify the
scheduler that he will not be attending. 
 
This however is not possible a Sel will give the 2 records but only the first
can be selected and an Index while showing the second instance will not 
actually allow you to edit it, it will always edit the first instance.

Anybody got any workarounds as this is causing them severe grief, as they use
TM a lot and schedule a lot of conflicts to be resolved later.

I guess work-around is unlikely as it seems to be the calendar reply function
working behind the scenes that is prob - meeting.dat does not have duplicate keys
and so that is not the problem especially as the scheduler does not have the same
problem.

cheers Alan

I have tried this in v3 and it is still the same - but I wondered if 
anyone had hacked this for themselves.

        Hi Alan,
        
        The MEETING.DAT does not have duplicate keys, but more than one
        entry in the personal calendar may have the same value for the
        .MEETING_POINTER field.  This problem is currently being
        investigated by engineering.

Thanks for the info Dave,

Did you report this recently...?

The SPR will still be going through - a patch would be
very useful....(any TM developer like to comment)

cheers Alan.

        The original problem reports are not recent.  A large number of
        customers insisting upon a fix is.  Comments about a possible
        resolution, I'll leave for engineering.
