LO46800: ADJUST TO LOCAL TIMEZONE WHEN CHOOSING TO IMPORT AN ICS FILE AS IT DOES WHEN CHOOSING TO ADD TO SHOW CALENDAR LIST

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• Different results when "Importing" and "Adding" calendar from an
  .ics file
  
  If the ics file is "Added to the Show Calendars list" it appears
  to be correct
  but if the ics files is instead Imported into a user's personal
  calendar, the
  entries are placed in time slots set to a different timezone
  (timezone matches
  the timezone where the ics file was created) in this case later
  then it should
  be.  It appears that the entries are using the UTC/GMT time
  rather than
  converting that to the local timezone
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Scenario 1
  
  a)  Double click on the ICS file from the file system and choose
  to "Import
  these entries into your personal calendar"
  
  
  
  OR from the Calendar View choose File>>Import>>Select .ics
  file>>Click on Import
  
  b) The Import Calendar dialog will come up with the Calendar
  Entries.
  Selecting OK to this dialog box will show a message that the
  calendar has been
  imported into Lotus Notes calendar
  
  
  
  c)  Clicking OK to this Success message will display the entries
  in the Notes
  Calendar but the time is incorrect, not in the local time (in
  this case a few
  hours later)
  
  Scenario 2:
  
  a) Double click on the ICS file from the file system and choose
  to "Add this
  calendar to your Show Calendars list" instead
  
  
  
  b) After selecting OK to the above dialog will show a message
  that the calendar
  has been successfully added
  
  
  
  c) Clicking OK to this Success message will display the entries
  in the Notes
  Calendar and the time is correct according to the user's local
  timezone
