Out of office calendar entry type?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

I have an application that uses the Lotus C++ API to fetch calendar entries for users.

When a user sets himself as out of office, a calendar entry seems to be created with start/end-times the same as the times the user set out of office. The entry is not visible in the Lotus Notes client though…

I need a way to determine if a certain calendar entry is the result of the user being out of office.

The API documentation has methods for getting entryType, itemType and noteType but none of these seem to match what I want to do. I have also checked classId and className of the entries, but the out-of-office-entries have the same id/name as regular calendar entries.

Any tips?

An ugly solution would be to check the subject of the bookings, if it matches “Out Of Office” (or matching phrase in other languages). I don’t know if this will always be the case though…

The only other difference I can see is a field called CreatedByAgent set to “1” for Out Of Office entries.

Thanks for your reply Paul,

That could very well be a way forward… but I’m guessing that field would be 1 for any entry created by an agent, not just the out-of-office-agent?

I don’t know of anything else that would create that but that would be a question for IBM
