2603.0. "Tm Corruption on Meeting record!" by KERNEL::COOPER (Suzanne Cooper UK Customer Support (833)3502) Thu Apr 22 1993 15:13

    I can't seem to find this problem reported before, and I have only been
    able to reproduce it once.  And I haven't a clue what is going wrong,
    some can anyone shed some light?  (the customer can reproduce it every
    time and is on ALL-IN-1 3.0 unpatched)
    
    A user creates a event with attendees (it all appears to look ok at
    this point the meeting gets scheduled and the meeting notices get sent
    out.)
    
    User want to then delete event but when they try they get the error "
    You are not the scheduler of the event"
    
    If you read the event it looks ok.
    
    The receipient(sp?) of the mail answers stating they want to attend, 
    but if you read the mail in the outbox it is rubbished i.e.
                    I N T E R O F F I C E   M E M O R A N D U M

    In response to your meeting on 23-Apr-1993 at 12:00pm:
    
    Yes
    --------------------
    
    and after the postmaster runs they get a delivery failure report back
    
    It appears that the record in Meeting.dat may be corrupt, or even not
    exist,  What is causing this? 
    
    
    Thanks in advance 
    Suzanne
    

        If this system was upgraded, the most likely cause is that the
        post-installation failed to convert the MEETING.DAT file to
        version 3.0 format.  Proper format is fixed length 748 byte
        records.
        
        There is a STARS article titled, V2.4 to V3.0 Upgrade Potential
        Time Management Problems and Resolutions, that describes the
        problem and solution.

    You couldn't post the article could you, it doesn't appear to be on our
    stars (yet!)
    
    Thanks
