Duplicate Calendar Entries

Case: In my calendar I don’t see any entries for Monday and Tuesday between 1 to 5 PM Eastern Time, but when my colleague tries to send me an invite during that time he says I am unavailable in the scheduler. Ie., in lotus notes when you click new meeting and you say check availability it is all red that means the recipient is unavailable, what you need to do at first.

Just follow what IBM says.

Mostly this would resolve, but this time it did not. Now what I did?

Right click on where it says unavailable, you will definitely be shown the one calendar entry which is causing the problem. We had to delete that particular entry and re create that through lotus notes.

Root cause : Mostly this is because the entry created through a handheld which creates joint synchronization issue. But we cannot advice any one not to create a calendar entry through Hand held. But even if created and we have this issue, now we know what to do..

Cannot accept and Decline meetings with repeat instances

I thought it is good to write on the rock some thing which I have learned recently, hence this endeavor.

When I try to accept a repeat instances of meetings in lotus notes I get an error message. "An Error occurred  while saving : Error creating repeat instances".

Another issue for the same user is shown below : This occurs when I try to decline the meetings with comments but this does not happen if just decline. Really crazy. Error message - " Error occurred while saving : Notes error: The Database cannot be read due to invalid disk structure "

Solution :

I ran maintenance

l compact -c mail\mailfile.nsf

l fixup -f mail\mailfile.nsf

l updall -r mail\mailfile.nsf

Guess what. Issue is fixed. Let's celebrate now.
