CREATE_FROM_ICAL_OBJECT

Definition

Method that converts an iCalendar appointment object into an SAP appointment instance.

Use

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) defined in its RFC 2245 how appointments are exchanged across systems. The format is called iCalendar or iCal for short.

This method converts such an iCalendar object into SAP appointment instances. If such an object corresponds to an appointment that already exists in the SAP System, this appointment is instantiated. This is possible because iCalendar objects also have a GUID.

Since an iCalender object can theoretically contain more than one appointment, several appointments can be returned.

If the iCalender object is a response to an appointment request, a reference to the subclass CL_APPOINTMENT_REPLY is returned. For more information, see the relevant class documentation.
