I need to be able to automatically update a user or users GroupWise Calander from other Programs (Confluence ,ICAL).And Vice Versa. If someone can just point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.
I'm on GroupWise ver 8.0 with the latest hotfix.
I would like user calendars to mesh with the Office calendar's and the Users group Calanders...
All User's in the office are in a group there are like 5 or 6 groups.
Also when a user add's something to lets say a confluence or Ical calendar which will be the Office Calendar all the user's GroupWise calendars are updated with the appt. eg a meeting for everone in the office.
Or a user updates a group calendar which will be an ICAl or Confluence Calendar that the user's in said group's groupWise calendars are updated.

I agree with billmercer. Where I am working on a project, we have a IS-Shared-Calendar that all IS users (about 100) proxy into and put their PTO/vacation/sick days onto. All users have full access to the calendar, tasks and notes but not to the mailbox.
With GroupWise 8 you can also publish this calendar using the Calendar Publishing Host that is included with GW8 so that it can become an auto-updating iCal accessible via browser for those who need to view it. Updates still come from GroupWise but are viewable in the published calendar. Users who receive the "published calendar" can click an Update button to see if changes have been made since the last time they viewed it.

Here is how I did what I think you want to do:
Create a user account representing the "Office". Create a sub-calendar called "Schedule". Publish the calendar and have users import it into their own GW accounts by sending them an email.
You have to setup Calendar Publishing...something new with GroupWise 8. It is pretty easy to setup and add to your existing GW 8 system. You install the additional code into Apache or IIS (Linux, NetWare or Windows). Indicate the Calendar Publishing Host in ConsoleOne and then enable Calendar Publishing on the Post Office.
Restart the GW client and if everything is done, you'll be able to Publish the calendar created above. It will auto-create an email with two or three links in it. Address it to everyone in the office you want to have the calendar.
Now people will start sending iCal items, or other to the "Office" user (office@company.com). Someone will need to be able to proxy into the account to accept or decline items (unless you set up automatic rules to do either for you). As items are added or deleted from the published calendar, all of the users who received the published calendar will see updates.
I hope this helps...
