gam calendar add leads to 404 and 500 error?

[Axel Hederstedt]

So, I was tasked with adding multiple calendars to multiple users.

Running GAM 6.07

*all scopes pass

*reset oauth just in case

I started with creating a .csv

looking like this;

owner,target

c...@v.se,v...@group.calendar.google.com

c...@v.se,v...@group.calendar.google.com

etc

ran it with;

gam csv calendr.csv gam user ~owner add calendar ~target

and to my suprise it gave me this;

Using 25 processes...

Subscribing c...@v.se to calendar v...@group.calendar.google.com (1/1)

ERROR: 404: Not Found - notFound

Subscribing c...@v.se to calendar v...@group.calendar.google.com (1/1)

ERROR: 404: Not Found - notFound

with some

ERROR: 500: None - 500 

thrown in

About half of the calendars in the commands actually ended up on the users accs.


Thinking it was something in the csv I double checked with a single command

gam user c...@v.se add calendar v.se_q8mkm1nn3b...@group.calendar.google.com

Subscribing c...@v.se to calendar v.se_q8mkm1nn3b...@group.calendar.google.com (1/1)

ERROR: 404: Not Found - notFound

does not work for that user

gam user ad...@v.se add calendar v.se_q8mkm1nn3b...@group.calendar.google.com

Subscribing ad...@v.se to calendar v.se_q8mkm1nn3b...@group.calendar.google.com (1/1)

works fine for myself.

What am I doing wrong?

[Axel Hederstedt]

Ok, I think I figured it out.

for some reason some of the calendars are not open to the org.  this means the users didnt have ACL rights to the things I wantet to add.

Testing

OK, adding ORG. acl rights fixed the issue (I think)

However I still got many 500 errors for some reason, ideas on why?  construction of csv?

ERROR: 500: None - 500

ERROR: 500: None - 500

You could be hitting the Calendar API rate limiting. Try slowing it down using smaller number of threads (default is 20).

[Axel Hederstedt]

Ah, yeah I was wondering why GAM was having that many threads since I havent manually changed it.

erm, since I am new,  how do I use " set GAM_THREADS=10 " 
it is not a built in gam command no?

[Brian Kim]

Looks like it's 5 by default, so you might want to try something smaller.

[Axel Hederstedt]

Yup the command seems to have changed threads, there was no response tho so I couldnt tell :)

however I get 500 issues even using 10 processes...
