Hi all,
This is the reply that I’ve received this morning from our Vendor concerning the Calendar Overlay issues between multiple Web Applications: “it’s by design”.
So, no fix can be expected for this at the moment.
Therefore, I recommend educating the end user to open the item in the correct Web Application when needed.
You can find hereunder the complete explanation:

Hello Marc
As I also could repro the issue, MSFT did further research and found that this behavior is ‘by design’.
The issue has been addressed by the product group earlier and this was their answer :
It turns out it is by design:
=====================
We have conducted a thorough investigation into this matter and have determined the issue is Design Change Request in a feature area of substantial complexity. This complexity precludes making changes in this area outside of a major release.
The SharePoint calendar aggregation feature was designed to aggregate calendars within a single web application.
The calendar can aggregate across alternate access mappings, but not across apps. The alternate access mapping support did, however, make it appear that calendars could be aggregated across multiple web apps, but that is not a supported scenario. Adding support for cross web application calendar aggregation would involve significant feature work and as such, is not possible in a QFE.
Microsoft carefully reviews all Hotfix requests, as each code change must maintain or improve both quality and stability of the product.
In this instance, the risks to product quality and potential for destabilization are too high to permit changes in this area outside of a major release.
We thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and continuing to work with us on improving our products for customers worldwide.
The response is actually coming from the product group and they have no ETA on this nor if it will be fixed or not in future releases.

Voilà.
Just add a content editor web part and change the anchor href property to point to the correct URL. Here is one I created for our calendar:
ReplyDeletevar _CSL = document.getElementsByClassName("XYZclassname")
_CSL[0].href =
"http://OtherWebAppURL"
Include a Javascript script tag in the beggining and end
Is it possible to use different webapplication url to overlay the calendar please provide proper steps
DeleteWe had similar issue and we fixed this issue by updating calendar overlay setting by replacing relative URL with absolute. Works perfectly fine...
ReplyDeleteI had an issue where I was testing a list and had to rename the source list that overlaid on the calendar. I had to delete the overly and re-add it. This resolved my issue.
