ErrorIrresolvableConflict while creating an event - active-directory

Question

I am getting a lot of errors related to ErrorIrresolvableConflict response code when trying to create an event

I am getting this message with this exception - The send or update operation could not be performed because the change key passed in the request does not match the current change key for the item.
Please explain what is a change key and how it works ?
I am getting these exceptions only from yesterday and hasn't changed any code. Do I need to update anything at my end or am I missing anything ?
I am using V1 DLL - https://api.office.com/discovery/v1.0/me/
ProxyExtension Version - 23
Code:-
// In this method, we are populating event properties later used to create event on calendar. Please verify if I am missing any important property here
private Event CreateCalEventObj(CalendarMeetingBL meeting, string location, meetingAdditionalDataBL data)
{
Event calEvent = new Event();
try
{
calEvent.Subject = WEB.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(meeting.MeetingName);
calEvent.ShowAs = FreeBusyStatus.Busy;
if (meeting.EventAlarmInMinutes == -1)
meeting.EventAlarmInMinutes = null;
calEvent.Reminder = meeting.EventAlarmInMinutes;
calEvent.Start = meeting.StartTime;
calEvent.End = meeting.EndTime;
calEvent.StartTimeZone = meeting.TimeZoneString;
calEvent.EndTimeZone = meeting.TimeZoneString;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(location) && location.Length <= 500)
{
calEvent.Location = new Microsoft.Office365.OutlookServices.Location()
{
DisplayName = CommonBL.FixLineBreakForGooglelocation(WEB.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(location.Replace("\n", " ")))
};
}
else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(data.Phone))
{
calEvent.Location = new Microsoft.Office365.OutlookServices.Location()
{
DisplayName = "Phone: " + CommonBL.FixLineBreakForGooglelocation(WEB.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(data.Phone))
};
}
else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(data.MobileNumber))
{
calEvent.Location = new Microsoft.Office365.OutlookServices.Location()
{
DisplayName = "Mobile: " + CommonBL.FixLineBreakForGooglelocation(WEB.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(data.MobileNumber))
};
}
calEvent.Body = new ItemBody()
{
Content = CommonBL.RevertLineBreakPlaceHolder((WEB.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(meeting.MeetingDetails.Replace(#"\\\", "\\"))))
};
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
BLFactory.CurrentInstance.LoggingBLObj.InsertLog("Insert logging here");
calEvent = null;
}
return calEvent;
}
// In this method we are creating event on calendar.
private string CreateCalendarEvent(CalendarMeetingBL meeting, List<ParticipantBL> invitees, string username, string calendarId, OutlookServicesClient service, string location, meetingAdditionalDataBL data, string meetingId = "-1")
{
var taskCreateMeeting = Task<string>.Run(
async () =>
{
Event calEvent = CreateCalEventObj(meeting, location, data);
if (calEvent != null)
{
try
{
//Add invitees to the event
foreach (ParticipantBL inviteeItem in invitees)
{
if (!inviteeItem.IsAdditional)
{
calEvent.Attendees.Add(new Attendee()
{
EmailAddress = new EmailAddress()
{
Address = inviteeItem.Email.Replace("'", "'"),
Name = inviteeItem.Name
},
Type = AttendeeType.Required,
Status = new ResponseStatus()
{
Response = ResponseType.Accepted,
Time = DateTime.Now
}
});
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
BLFactory.CurrentInstance.LoggingBLObj.InsertLog(meeting.MeetingId, username, "Locally User ID is Meeting id AND email is username - Scheduling Logging Exception 3 - Stack Trace - " + ex.StackTrace + " - Inner Exception - " + ex.InnerException + " - meetingObjValues - " + meetingObjValues + " - meetingAdditionalDataObjValues - " + meetingAdditionalDataObjValues + " - username - " + username + " - calendarId - " + calendarId + " - location - " + location + " - meetingId - " + meetingId, meeting.MeetingId);
return "-1";
}
try
{
var providerDefault = (String.IsNullOrEmpty(calendarId) ? service.Me.Events : service.Me.Calendars[calendarId].Events);
await providerDefault.AddEventAsync(calEvent); // We are getting Exception here but Event is created in calendar
return calEvent.Id; // Event object is not updated after exception
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
BLFactory.CurrentInstance.LoggingBLObj.InsertLog("Insert exception logging here");
return "-1";
}
}
else
return "-1";
}
);
Task.WaitAll(taskCreateMeeting);
string id = taskCreateMeeting.Result;
return id;
}
The exception we are getting is of type Microsoft.OData.Client.DataServiceRequestException but it is not caught under the dedicated catch block
catch (Microsoft.OData.Client.DataServiceRequestException ex)
{
BLFactory.CurrentInstance.LoggingBLObj.InsertLog("Insert logging here");
return "-1";
}
Let me know if anything else is required
Thanks in Advance.

This is not directly related to OData - we have seen the same thing with EWS. We just found the underlying race condition inside of Exchange code that was causing this and one of our devs just checked in a fix for this. As such, it should start rolling out in production soon.
There is nothing wrong with your code that would be causing this for a new item.
