[Opensync-users] SyncML over bluetooth/obex

[Markus W. <ma...@mw...>]

Hi List!

Finally I managed to build opensync, multisync and also the plugins file-sync, 
kdepim and syncml - all recent SVN versions.

Now, I would like to sync my mobile phone (Samsung SGH-D600, which supposedly 
is SyncML capable). Since I don't see how transport via http should be 
established, I want to use OBEX as transport.

Is there any documentation/howto on the wiki or anywhere else how I have to 
configure the SyncML plugin; the phone and so on?! Maybe also some basic 
ideas how things are supposed to work over bt/obex. ... ?!

I am not wrong, that kitchensync yet does not offer any configuration options?

Thanks a lot for help - if I can be any help by providing any information on 
phone, debug msgs, and so on, let me know.

Markus

BTW: Syncing btw. file and kdepim works - at least something is happening :-)
(I am using gentoo, have kde 3.5beta2, and wbxml2 installed as well)

Hi!

I used this guide on using SyncML:
http://www.opensync.org/wiki/syncml-guide

Instead of syncml-http-server I used syncml-obex-client. If I'm not 
mistaken its primary argument is 'path', which is some device/file for 
communication.

I tested it yesterday with Nokia 6230i and Bluetooth, so I put there 
/dev/rfcomm0, but it didn't work, I got this (not really useful) message:
   <--- ERROR --- smlTransportObexClientConnect: No success

So, any hints what's wrong?
I could provide the traces if interesting.

Regards
Michal

afaik the obex transport is not yet usable.

Hi!

Well it seems not only 'path' is an important argument, but also 'type' 
and maybe others ;-)

Some more documentation would be really useful, the best would be if it's 
documented directly in the XML config file, something like:

   <!--
      Transport type, one of:
         0 = unknown
         1 = serial
 	2 = bluetooth
 	3 = irda
 	4 = net
   --!>
   <type>2</type>

Provided that the type is really the one from:
/usr/include/libsyncml-1.0/libsyncml/obex_client.h

I'll rather wait for Armin to shed some light on this and confirm it's 
actually possible to make it working at all :-}

Regards
Michal

Yes, it is.

Actually I think we should use strings on the XML configuration, not
magic numbers.

Does "Yes" mean other arguments are important too?

This is the config I use, username, password, path and now type are clear, 
but how about the others? I have no clue about "usestringtable" for 
example:

 	<config>
 	  <username></username>
 	  <password></password>
 	  <path>/dev/rfcomm0</path>
 	  <type>2</type>
 	  <usestringtable>1</usestringtable>
 	  <onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
 	  <contact_db>addressbook</contact_db>
 	  <calendar_db>calendar</calendar_db>
 	  <task_db>tasks</task_db>
 	</config>

Have you managed to get syncml over obex working?

Michal

Sorry for not being clear. Yes, other arguments should be necessary.

I don't know many details about the other parameters, but as far as I
know, at least the XXX_db parameters are necessary, too.

There are some details yet-to-be-implemented for some type of devices.
Do you know if your device supports SyncML 1.2? For SyncML 1.1 some
stuff need to be implemented, yet, as SyncML 1.1 uses a different way
of asking a client to start a synchronization.
