RESOLUTION
- From the Windows directory, open the user's SCHDPLUS.INI file.
- Under the [Microsoft Schedule+] heading, add the following line:
StartupOffline=1
- Save the changes and close the SCHDPLUS.INI file.
- Start Schedule+.
- Delete the duplicate appointments from the local file.
- From the File menu, select Export Appointments. Export the user's
calendar file information into a USERNAME.SCH file.
- Delete or rename the user's local (C:\<path>\username.cal) and
Server's MAILDATA\CAL\HEXID.CAL calendar copies.
NOTE: A user's online calendar file is not named with the same eight-
digit ID number as the user's mail message file (.MMF), nor is it named
with the user's name for security reasons. You can use either the MVCAL
or the DUMPKEY utility to locate a specific user's online calendar file.
Using MVCAL.EXE
This utility will find the calendar file for the user name specified, and rename it to <username>.BAD. After the calendar file is renamed, a new file will be created the next time the user signs in. This new calendar file will be created from the user's local calendar file.
To use this utility, from where MVCAL.EXE is stored, type:
mvcal <username> [-d<drive> -p<password>]
where:
<username> is the user with the corrupt calendar file.
<drive> is the path to the Mail database (the default is M).
<password> is the password for the Schedule+ Administrator
(not the Mail Administrator).
Using DUMPKEY.EXE
To use this utility, use the following MS-DOS command to copy the DUMPKEY.EXE file to the CAL directory of the postoffice (this assumes that the Mail database is located on drive M):
copy dumpkey.exe m:\cal\dumpkey.exe
From the MAILDATA\CAL directory, type:
dumpkey schedule.key > calfiles.txt
(This will redirect the output to a file called CALFILES.TXT for
easy viewing.)
- Have the user login to Schedule+. This will create new server and
local calendar files.
- From the File menu, select Import Appointments. Import the
appointments from the USERNAME.SCH file created in step 6.
