Blackberry & Calendar

Good Morning, Thanks for replies from my earlier post. Now I have a different question that maybe some of you can help me with. I have proprietary application that creates meeting invites and places them directly into the user’s calendar. If the user views the meeting from their Lotus Notes client either in through their mailbox or calendar they have all the options as they would if the meeting invite was created and sent directly from a Lotus notes client. Now when the meeting is viewed through a blackberry device you do not get the standard options (Example: Decline or Accept the meeting) and you do not see the meeting in you calendar. I was wondering if any one else has ever seen this before or if this is a known issue with blackberry’s and creating meetings programmatically?

Thanks in advance for you help, suggestions, and ideas.

You could look here , you will have the C&S Schema . It will help you map all of your fields.

For the invisible buttons, you may look at the Hide-when formula from the mail file,.

Thanks I have that link and I have reviewed all the fields from it and it looks good from the code side. I was wondering if their is a field or something that tells the blackberry server to read this as a meeting.

  1. Ghosted Calendar Entries
    When the ghosted calendar entry feature is turned on, any invitations viewed in the handheld inbox appear as an email and not an invitation (so you cannot accept or decline them).
  • A fix is planned for BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1.5 (SDR 134211)

Workaround: Disable ghosted calendar entries by doing any of the following:

a) Notes User: In your Notes client, go to your Inbox and then go to More > Preferences > Calendar > Display > Views. Un-check the setting ‘Display new (unprocessed) notices’

b) Domino Administrator: Create/set a Mail Setting Policy (Calendar > Basics) to disable the Ghosted feature ‘display new (unprocessed) notices’

c) Domino Administrator: On the BlackBerry user’s mail server, disable ghosted entries by setting the following notes.ini variable:

CSDisableDisplayUnprocessedNotices=1

This setting will disable the display of unprocessed notices in the Calendar view for all users on the server.
