Limit on events being imported?

[George]

Hey Stanley,

Thank you for continued patience!

After some thorough looks at this, the only thing we’ve been able to identify as a reason why only some events are pulled in from the file is that Event Aggregator only looks 2 years into the future for events to pull in. By default, any events beyond two years from now won’t be imported.

In looking over file, there are no invalid entries we’ve been able to identify. But there are some past events, and some events more than two years into the future, and so these events will not be imported.

I apologize for not coming to this conclusion sooner—it sounds like a rather obvious conclusion to arrive at! But I was suspecting there to be something wrong with or corrupted about the file itself, given the earlier errors that came up with validation tools (and indeed it does seem like the previously-discussed STATUS: field can cause some issues with importing).

Does this information help? Please let me know if so, and if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.

Thanks!
George

George:
If you look at the title of this thread and at my first couple of replies from a month ago, it seems my forty years of computer experience was correct. There is a limit to the uploads. Too bad you folks didn’t look for that upfront. I would think the developers would know that.

It’s also true that Aggregator is not iCalendar spec RFC 5545 compliant otherwise it would not have flagged the STATUS:Confirmed field as an error.

Very sad that it took so long to get this answer and it appears from your last reply that the limit will not be changed.

The developers did know this, Stanley — the failure here is totally and singularly mine. I was not aware of the limit and was not able to identify it in the code until it was explicitly pointed out to me.

The limit cannot be changed at this time, and indeed there is no plan in place to modify this limit at this time.

I am very sorry for the trouble here.

Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.

— George

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
