We have two people that are having a problem with calendar entries vanishing. One of these vanishing meetings still appears in the “New Notices” view but when you try to access it you get a message stating that the meeting is no longer in your mail file.
The only thing that these two people have in common is that they have given people delegation rights to their calendar and the meetings that are missing were created/accepted by the person who has been given this access, this looks to be consistent with many of the others that have posted within this forum and the R4/R5 forum.
I have looked in to this problem and it would appear that this has been an issue with Notes since April 2000. A good number of people have mentioned it on LDD but I am unable to find a fix for this. I find it very hard to believe that a problem has existed for 4 years and no-one has been able to resolve it.
In most of these cases that I’ve seen, the people are deleting the invitations/responses that are associated with the meeting. There are several tehnotes with details in the Lotus KB. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your response but I have checked this with both of these people and they haven’t deleted anything.
The most recent example was a monthly (recurring) meeting, this was not in the persons calendar, but remained in colleagues’ calendars with no notifications sent out to say the meeting had been cancelled (deleted).
I am currently experiencing exactly the same problem whereby calendar entries “mysteriously vanish” without any user intervention.
This is turning out to be a major issue due to the fact that the business is looking at implementing exchange, this issue just gives them more reason to
If anybody experience any luck with resolving the issue PLEASE post it.
Is anybody else experiencing similar issues as of late???
I have an open PMR with IBM about this. I sent them 2 mail files, one for the chair person and one for an invitee and it looks like IBM are saying that the “vanishing” entries have become corrupt as they can see them in the mail file but they are not showing up in any views. We did use a Single Copy Template for mail but we have changed over to the standard template and since then (touch wood) no more problems.
By the way IBM reckon that this is the first time a PMR has been raised about this but if you check this forum and the R5 forum you will find a few posts that indicate that IBM have been aware of this for sometime. The earliest post that I could find was way back in 2000.
I have users who claim the exact same problem but I have been unable to verify it as it is intermittent. Hearing your testimonies, it seems they are right and there is a problem. We are running Notes/Domino 6.5.1 but have not implemented SCT, yet!
If you could post any resolution from your call to IBM in this thread, it would be very helpful.
I know this is an old thread but I have also seen this problem.
We are on 6.05 and are experiencing the same issue with users missing calendar entries.
I have seen this when a users name has been renamed and when they haven’t.
I have got around the issue by going into the meetings tab in calendar and finding the entries in there and just re-saving. The calendar entry gets re-computed and appears in the calendar view.
It’ may or may not be the same issue as you are experiencing but it’s something to check if anyone reading their thread has the same problem.
Something is getting messed up and my guess would be it has something to do with the users bookmarks/cache files. users that get this problem tend to experience crashes or other strange problems.
It may be worth closing notes and renaming the bookmark file and cache then re-start notes to and see if it improves things.
I have done this and found that the problem goes away.
