[Opensync-users] syncml-obex-client fails to synchronize calendar

[Robert H. <ope...@hu...>]

Hello list,

I want to synchronize my phone's calendar with the PC, using 
syncml-obex-client and file-sync. The phone is a Sony-Ericsson V600i. This is 
the sync group:

$ msynctool --showgroup file-phone
Groupname: file-phone
Member 1: syncml-obex-client
        Configuration : 
<config><bluetooth_address>00:12:EE:9F:40:E8</bluetooth_address><bluetooth_channel>7</bluetooth_channel><interface>0</interface><identifier></identifier><version>1</version><wbxml>1</wbxml><username></username><password></password><type>2</type><usestringtable>0</usestringtable><onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace><recvLimit>0</recvLimit><maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize><contact_db>addressbook</contact_db><calendar_db>calendar</calendar_db><note_db>tasks</note_db></config>
Member 2: file-sync
        Configuration : 
<config><path>/home/robert/opensync-test/file-phone</path><recursive>FALSE</recursive></config>

The file-sync path is empty and there's one entry in the phone's calendar. 
Unfortunately, the synchronization fails with an error message "Sitzung ist 
fehlgeschlagen" ("Session failed") on the phone and this console output (I 
have to abort msynctool with Ctrl+C as it does not exit by itself):

$ msynctool --sync file-phone --filter-objtype note --filter-objtype 
todo --filter-objtype contact
Synchronizing group "file-phone"
The previous synchronization was unclean. Slow-syncing
Member 2 of type file-sync just connected

Member 1 of type syncml-obex-client just sent all changes
All clients sent changes or error
Member 2 of type file-sync committed all changes.
Member 2 of type file-sync just disconnected
[Ctrl+C]

Trace files are attached. Software versions I use:

- opensync (svn, 2006-10-29)
- file-sync (svn, 2006-10-29)
- syncml-plugin (svn, 2006-10-29)
- multisync-cli (svn, 2006-10-29)
- libsyncml (svn, 2006-10-29)
- libsoup (cvs, 2006-10-29)
- wbxml2-0.9.0, patched with wbxml2-0.9.0.patch
- dev-libs/openobex-1.3

Synchronizing the address book works almost perfectly, using this command line 
(it works with file-sync instead of kdepim-sync, too):
$ msynctool --sync kde-phone --filter-objtype note --filter-objtype 
todo --filter-objtype event

Regards,
  Robert

I solved this problem by changing the calendar_db from "calendar" to the not 
so obvious "addressbook". Seems like this phone is using a database 
called "addressbook" for both contacts and events.

Of course, Opensync should not hang when an error like this occurred.
And it should print a useful error message that points to the problem. Right 
now, there are ERRORs in the trace files, but the console output shows 
nothing. Maybe there's some error condition checking missing in the code?

Sincerely,
  Robert

P.S.: Does anyone know how to retrieve the list of databases from a SyncML 
server, or if it's possible at all?

This works for me too, but only if I use --filter-objtype contact. Then 
I get events and notes. Can you reproduce this? I'm currently sniffing 
traffic from and to the SE K750i.

I'll check this next weeks.

I am successfully synchronizing both contacts (addressbook) and events 
(agenda) at the same time. Did not try notes and todo so far:

$ msynctool --sync kde-phone --filter-objtype note --filter-objtype todo

But this does not work immediately for a new setup. When I clear the phones 
addressbook and calendar and purge the hash map using "osyncdump 
kde-phone --reset", this command line will make the phone show "Sitzung 
fehlgeschlagen" immediately (as I described in the first posting of this 
thread).

By trial and error, i found a somewhat odd procedure to get things going:
1. Change the calendar_db to match the contact_db (i.e. "addressbook")
2. Sync. The contacts will be written to the phone, the events will fail with 
some error 500
3. Change the calendar_db back to "agenda"
4. Sync again. Now events will be written to the phone, and the "Sitzung 
fehlgeschlagen" error is gone.

Can you reproduce this?

Sincerely,
  Robert

At the moment, I filter all objects but the one type I want to sync 
(and "data", as it would fail horribly if I filtered this type).

I have problems syncing the events, though:
"Mapping Write Error: content type was not configured" messages over and over. 
I'm looking into this at the moment. As soon as it works, I can try if 
syncing both contacts and events at the same time works.

Sincerely,
  Robert

If you filter out "data" this will act like a wildcard for all object types.

Which version of syncml plugin and opensync do you use (if svn .. revision)?
We fixed in the svn some problems with the fomrat detectors. But if you use=
=20
the latest revision and still have no look i would be fine if you  can=20
prepare TRACE files.

(BTW: Christopher found out that on his SE K750i the database name for=20
calendar is "AGENDA")

Daniel

I've got it! The event database name is 'agenda'.

This config works for me (SE K750i):

<config>
  <bluetooth_address>  YOUR MAC!!!  </bluetooth_address>
  <bluetooth_channel>  CHANNEL!!!  </bluetooth_channel>
  <interface>0</interface>
  <identifier></identifier>
  <version>1</version>
  <wbxml>1</wbxml>
  <username></username>
  <password></password>
  <type>2</type>
  <usestringtable>0</usestringtable>
  <onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
  <recvLimit>0</recvLimit>
  <maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
  <contact_db>addressbook</contact_db>
  <calendar_db>agenda</calendar_db>
  <note_db>notes</note_db>
</config>


Best regards

Yes, indeed! This works on my Sony Ericsson V600i, too. Thanks to point that 
out.

Okay, I found this one. Opensync was receiving a wrong dsession, indicated by 
the message (on the console):
  received contact dsession

I do not understand the code well enough to fix this, but it's caused by both 
contact_db and calendar_db having the same content: "addressbook". I renamed 
the contact_db to something else (no problem as I'm not syncing it at the 
moment), and now it picks the correct dsession:
  received event dsession

The trace files (for the case when contact_db and calendar_db were the same) 
show that it probably only compares the locations, not checking if that 
location really belongs to the Calendar.

Note the line "smlLocationCompare((nil)(null), (nil)(null), (nil)(null), 
0x8061960(Calendar))". It's probably trying to make sure that it's the 
calendar's location, but it's not too successful in doing that...

Using the workaround I described above, I was able to sync a dozen events or 
so with the phone. Until the sync hang once again, with the trace showing:
				<--- ERROR --- smlWbxmlConvertTo: Parsing of XML Document Failed
			<--- ERROR --- smlWbxmlAssemblerCheckSize: Parsing of XML Document Failed
		<--- ERROR --- smlAssemblerCheckSize: Parsing of XML Document Failed
	<--- ERROR --- smlAssemblerStartCommand: Parsing of XML Document Failed
<--- ERROR --- _smlSessionStartCommandInternal: Parsing of XML Document Failed

Debugging in progress... ;-)

Sincerely,
  Robert

This was a problem with one event that libexpat failed to parse. Once I 
deleted it, the errors disappeared and synchronization succeeded. It probably 
had something to do with a messed-up UTF-8 encoding.
