If you don’t want to use Gmail to see your GW calendar (or to subscribe to it from iCal), you can alternately use this:

http://benzilla.galbraiths.org/2007/04/11/groupwise-exporter-10/

It directly exports your GW calendar to a mini webserver listening on a high port on your local machine that you can subscribe to from iCal. Drawbacks are that it is set to use West Coast time only and you will need a static IP on the machine that is exporting it. A good Java Programmer friend could easily modify it to your time zone (source code is available). Ideally the author might update his app with more features (encryption and time zones). You also have the problem of it being read only in iCal, but still – at least you can see your GW calendar in iCal!

I followed these steps and it worked great. Moreover, since Google now has a feature allowing you to synch your Google calendar with iPhone, you do not have to go through synching the iPhone with iCal – the appointments go directly to the iPhone and iCal.

Have to agree with the last comment by Vince. Surely, the beauty of an electronic diary is that you update it on the mobile device as the master?

Accepting invites is great but it's the appointments created on the iPhone that I want to synchronise back the other way to my department.

Am I missing something here or is it not possible?

I love being able to sync my GW appts to my Google calendar, which can now sync in the cloud with my iphone. But it is one-way only: GW to Google/iphone. Has anyone figured out a way to sync iphone to GW? or I guess my main problem is Google to GW, since my iphone and Google are already in sync. I’d like to use my native calendar on iphone to make appts.

I am able to get all this working except having google calendar auto-accept my appts. This would be perfect otherwise. Ive made 3 new calendars and now luck. Any ideas? I also cant seem to accept appointments in my gmail account on iPhone

Hi Johann,

I today received an appointment request which posted it correctly. After that I created couple of test appointments and they are working fine. How this has happened I do not know as till yesterday they were not working and I had to go to my iPhone everytime and edit the time (else an afternoon appointment alarm would go off in middle of the night LOL). I have not changed any settings, in fact I have not even accessed anything as I had given up on it after getting no response here or on google cal help forums.

Though another thing that has happened is that google calender is now posting these appointments to my default google calender and not work calender that I had created earlier and where GW delegated appointments were being posted so far. This is an inconvenience that I am willing to live with as long as I get to automatically keep track of all my appointments, work or personal.

To me it seems like there was/is a bug in google cal which is responsible for all of this... ah well...

Hi Nish,

I have the same problem as you have with Central European Time (CET/GMT +0100): appointments set to 10 a.m. in Groupwise are set to 11 a.m. in GoogleCalender. It seems as if GoogleCalender thinks I'm GMT although it is definetely set to CET (as well as GroupWise and WindowsXP).

Does anybody has an idea how to fix this problem? I guess it might be a bug of GoogleCalender as the delegate email from GroupWise contains the proper .ics-attachment and if I manually import it to iCal everything works fine.
