Reservation database - Error while creating reservation
Hi,
We have an Reservation database (Reservation.nsf) created from the Std45ResourceReservation Template.
The server and the client versions are 4.6.4
Problem:
Few users (among the the 100 and more users) are getting the error message given below while creating a Reservation.
The system accepts the user's data and gives the error while pressing the "save" button.
Error:
"The time you have scheduled for this resource is not available."
P.S: All the systems has Windows NT workstations and there is nothing wrong with the System time settings of those computers and we have tried to reinstall Lotus Notes client on those machines... but still the problem exists.
Please help us to sort out this problem..
Regards,
Kumaran

hi,
Users get this error when the reservation time specified by the user is already used/reserved by another user.
If db is setup properly, when the user tries to enter the reservation time, a whole set of free slots for the resource must be displayed. You can ensure that the right free-slots appear by verifying the resource details in the address book.
If you need further details let me know.

Perhaps you would like to check a few other things:
1. User ACL (A mim of Author Access)
2. Users accessing the reservation db have access to the server on which the resources and the site profiles are stored.

sometimes deleting the busytime database helps.
at the console enter the following commands
tell sched quit
dbcache flush
then delete busytime.nsf using the o/s.
at the notes console enter
load sched
this will create a new busytime.nsf

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Also you can double-check the problem by having these users create a reservation during a week when you know there is absolutely nothing scheduled. See what time they see the meeting, then open the database on your machine and see if the time has changed. If it looks like a different time on your machine, it's definitely a Notes Time Zone problem.
