Configuring Recurring Appointments

This topic describes how to configure Siebel values for Microsoft Outlook recurring appointments.

This task is an optional step in Process of Configuring SSSE.

Siebel Business Applications do not support the same appointment recurrence options as Microsoft Outlook Exchange, for example, Siebel Business Applications do not support a meeting repeat frequency of twice a month. If you select an appointment recurrence option in Microsoft Outlook that is not supported by the Siebel application, when the appointment is synchronized, SSSE represents the Microsoft Outlook recurrence pattern by creating individual appointments in the Siebel application to represent individual instances of the recurring appointment; this process is known as fanning the appointments.

The number of individual appointments that is created in the Siebel application is determined by the value of the Max Recurring Instances setting for the Siebel Calendar domain. Once the number of appointments specified by this setting had been created, SSSE does not create any further occurrences for that meeting. You can, however, configure SSSE so that additional records are generated for the recurring appointment at regular intervals provided the appointment continues to recur in Microsoft Outlook Exchange.
