        The user's .A1CAL file will transfer with them, but the data in
        the ATTENDEE.DAT, MEETING.DAT and CALACCESS.DAT does not.  They
        will see their events, but have no way of knowing who is invited.

	Well Ann, this is your lucky day!  Wouldn't it be nice if there were a
TM Transfer User utility that preserved all that information?  And wouldn't it
be nice if it were already available as a "custom solution"?  And wouldn't it be
nice if you could just contact Charlotte for something like that?

    oh and what a lucky day it is!
    do you hear the phone ringing?

    ALL-IN-1 2.4 (no patches)
    
    along this same lines -  is there any way (besides <NEWDIRing to each
    account) to see if a user uses calendaring (TM)?
    
    we're transferring about 350 users from 1 2.4 system to another 2.4
    system in a few weeks a question was raised abut calendars.  i know the
    event will transfer - but the ATTENDEE.DAT, MEETING.DAT and
    smething-else.DAT won't transfer.
    
    if ALL the users on the old system are transfered to the new system,
    they will all be local users.  if on the old system the TM meetings
    only had attendees that were local to the old system....would the
    transferred user on the new system be able to see the attendees of the
    meeting?  
    
    what if the attendee on the old system are local to the new system.
    when the old system users become  local on the new system, will the
    tranferred users be ablt to see the atendees to events they created on
    the old system
    
    thanks - ann
    

        I don't know of a way to tell if the calendar was used besides
        <NEWDIR or $SEARCH/STAT.
        
        The .A1CAL file of each user will transfer.  Events without
        attendees will be fine, in all cases.
        
        If you change the username, there is no hope of making events with 
        attendees seen.
        
        If you copy over the ATTENDEE.DAT and MEETING.DAT files and don't
        change the username, all data that appeared local before will appear
        local now.  If you do this though, all event with attendee data,
        that used to exist on this node will be distroyed.
        
        When someone calls the CSC and indicates they are doing something
        like this my advice is:
        $CREATE/FDL=OA$LIB:MEETING OA$DATA_SHARE:MEETING.DAT
        $CREATE/FDL=OA$LIB:ATTENDEE OA$DATA_SHARE:ATTENDEE.DAT
        $CREATE/FDL=OA$LIB:CALACCESS OA$DATA_SHARE:CALACCESS.DAT
        Then
        $CREATE/FDL=OA$LIB:CALENDAR .....A1CAL
        as often as needed.

    we weren't planning on copying over the ATTNEDEE.DATA, MEETING.DAT or
    CALACCESS.DAT. the old system is gong away and the users are moving
    onto an existing system with over 2000 users.
    
    if i did copy these files, is there a way to merge the ones from the
    old system into the ones for the new system.  we are not planning on
    changing the user names when the accounts are created n the new system.
    
    TM is used on the new system, but not extensivly.
    
    thanks for the advice dave!

        If the system management policy is such that you can guarantee
        that ALL-IN-1 account names are unique across both system, have at
        it.
        
        If there are duplicate ALL-IN-1 account names, merge using
        the appropriate qualifiers to record the duplicates.  There
        shouldn't be many, but who knows.
