3622177 - Visits Are Being Deleted After Recurring Meeting Is Modified In Outlook Using Server Side Integration

Symptom

There is a visit on C4C which was created using the Server Side add-on for a recurring meeting, after you change the date or time of the recurring meeting, the object is deleted on C4C.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

1. Open the Outlook.
2. Search for visit "ABC" on Calendar.
3. Open it and change the visit time from "10pm" to "8:30pm".
4. Open the SSI add-on.
5. Send Update.
6. Force synch.
7. Go back to Visit's OWL screen.
8. Refresh.
9. The "ABC" visit object is missing on the tenant. 

Cause

The issue occurs because modifying the recurrence results in all existing occurrences being deleted and replaced with new ones.
As a result, when these old occurrences are deleted during synchronization to C4C, any associated notes and details are also removed.

Resolution

This is a known Outlook limitation.
As a workaround, it is recommended to avoid changes to the recurrence pattern whenever possible.
