Exporting from Calendar objects
The AppointmentRecurrencePattern structure ([MS-OXOCAL] section 2.2.1.44.5) in the PidLidAppointmentRecur property ([MS-OXOCAL] section 2.2.1.44) SHOULD<286> be exported as the property specified by the table of recurrence properties in section 2.1.3.2.2.1. The exported property MUST be assigned the value generated by the Recurrence template specified by the table of Recurrence templates specified in section 2.1.3.2.2.1.
If PidLidAppointmentRecur is being exported with the Monthly Recurrence Template, it MUST contain the recurrence parts specified in the following table.
|
Recurrence part |
Value |
|---|---|
|
FREQ |
Set to 'MONTHLY' |
|
INTERVAL |
Set to Period. If the value is 1, omit this recurrence part. |
|
BYMONTHDAY |
Set to PatternTypeSpecific.Month.Day. If PatternTypeSpecific.Month.Day is 0x0000001F, BYMONTHDAY SHOULD<287> be set to -1. |
|
COUNT |
If EndType is 0x00002022, set to OccurrenceCount. Otherwise, omit this recurrence part. |
|
UNTIL |
If EndType is 0x00002021, SHOULD<288> be set to (EndDate + StartTimeOffset), converted from the time zone specified by PidLidTimeZoneStruct to the UTC time zone. Alternatively, MAY<289> be set to midnight on the date specified by EndDate. If EndType is not 0x00002021, omit this recurrence part. |
|
WKST |
The WKST recurrence part SHOULD<290> be omitted. |
