2 General Issues and Workarounds

This section describes general issues and their workarounds for Oracle CorporateTime 5.0.2 for Motif.

2.1 Exporting an iCalendar file

If you export an iCalendar file containing a Holiday, delete the Holiday from your Agenda and then re-import the file using a date range, the Holiday will not appear in your Agenda. Suggested workaround: In the Period area of the Import iCalendar file dialog, select "All" instead of "Range".

2.2 Reconciling your Agendas

Selecting "Download Only" from the Reconcile, Cancel, Download Only dialog box will erase any changes you have made in your off-line Agenda. You will not be warned that any changes that you make will be lost.

2.3 Creating a repeating entry

Clicking "Apply to All" in the General tab of a repeating entry may reset your Reminder and Reply options for all instances of the entry.

2.4 Exceed 7.0

You may encounter problems using Exceed 7.0 with Oracle CorporateTime 5.0.2 for Motif.

2.5 Storing off-line files on a remote machine

Storing off-line files on a remote machine (i.e. not the machine on which you are running the application) may cause slow-downs when you perform certain functions such as working off-line or working with an Address Book. Suggested workaround: Store your off-line files on a local disk.

2.6 Running concurrent copies

You should not run concurrent copies of Oracle CorporateTime from one Unix account.
