Error description

  • A User forwards a meeting invitation in .vcs format to two other
    users. The meeting time is supposed to be 9:30AM-11:00AM, but
    when it's imported into the Notes calendar it shows up for
    5:30AM-11:00AM instead
    
    - Tested with the .vcs files the customer provided, and I had
      the same results. The entries show in my calendar from
      5:30am to 11:00am as well. I also looked further into the file
      and found the following:
    
    TZID:America/Detroit --> I would expect this to say Eastern or
    Central and not America/Detroit
    
    In addition something like this should have been specified:
      DTSTART;TZID="Central":20111028T140000
      DTEND;TZID="Central":20111028T144500
    
    In the file the customer provided it doesn't specify DSTSart and
    DSTend. Instead it shows:
      DTSTART:20110915T093000
      DTEND:20110915T110000
    
    - This issue may possibly (not sure) be related to SPR#
      PYPY7L3J4A
