Gcal events disappearing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem (i.e. what is an example search or
form submission that will produce the problem, please give all details)?
1. I have no idea how to reproduce it because I do not know the cause, but some 
events that are scheduled simply disappear from the google calendar with no 
apparent cause.  This happened today with a Mini7 and Popularity7 study at 3:45 
for Callum Sherriff that was scheduled on 9/21.  The event has been there since 
9/21 until today when it just disappeared.  I have manually recreated the 
appointment so that no one else schedules a baby then but this has happened one 
other time and resulted in 2 babies being scheduled at the same time.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

If you have a hunch or know what the problem is, what is it?

Please provide any additional information below.

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem by just saving or confirming an 
appointment....Can you let me know of some of the baby ids that had these 
problems?

This occurred just today with an Arnie8 scheduled baby - serial number 0002341 
for Friday 10/8 at 4:00 pm.  I have already manually re-entered the appt into 
google, but I was not sure if that would help.

I am finding it difficult to reproduce this problem....why don't you create a 
test baby. I have made one if you want to use this entry: First and Last Name 
are 'Testing'. Currently this test baby is scheduled for two studies both of 
which show up on the google calendar. Maybe you should make your own test baby 
and try to see if you can replicate your problems with the google problem with 
this test case. If you can, then we can figure out what is going wrong.

Try scheduling a baby in Bumpy - it either does not show up or disappears later 
- or both

So we have confirmed the problem with Bumpy....are the other google calendars 
still experiencing the disappearing events problem?

Yes - As of today we saw two events that had disappeared - One was Plants 6 
(which uses the general Plants calendar) and one was Allies11 (which uses the 
calendar called Mini/Allies/Popularity)

I have seen at least 3 events disappear today - and all of them were times when 
the baby is scheduled for 2 different studies and one of the two events just 
disappears.

It has happened at least 2-3 times with Plants.  I have noticed at least once 
with Bumpy also.

There have also been some instances where there is just one study scheduled and 
the event disappears.

I am moving this priority to critical because this is a serious issue and I am 
going out of town for several days and am worried that when I am gone no one 
else will notice or keep track of disappearing events.

Ok so it is always for when babies are scheduled for multiple studies. Does it 
have anything to do with calendars that are shared across studies? Like for a 
calendar that is related to only one study, do you see this problem?

I will try to look at this for this week but more likely it will be over the 
weekend. What I can do temporarily is just turn off the google calendar feature 
altogether and you can just do what I guess you did before which is manually 
add/change them?

I would say do not turn off the google calendar feature because that will cause 
way more problems because some RA's are only trained on the new database and 
have never entered things in manually.

When you schedule a baby for a second study, the database often exports the 
event into the ORIGINAL study's calendar rather than into the 2nd study's 
calendar.  This is not a problem when the 2 studies share a calendar, but for 
most of the Plants studies, the 2nd study is in a different folder.  Even if 
the studies are in the same calendar, the 2nd study sometimes disappears.  

The 2nd study situation is not as big of a deal because at least 1 event stays 
there, but the real problem is when a baby is scheduled for 1 study and that 1 
study disappears because then we schedule a completely different baby for that 
time. 2 babies at 1 time = mad chaos in the baby lab
