+by syncing your (local)
+calendar/addressbook/passwordfile
with a (remote) file.
This remote file may on your local filesystem
or on another (remote) device.
If you want to sync with another remote device, you have to create
a sync profile.
You have two choices for choosing the profil kind:
I) You can choose profile kind "Remote file" and specify a
command line download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) to
a) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file
b) sync with this temp file
c) upload the synced file to the remote device
II) If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi( or KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) is
installed, you can easily get the remote file via network
with the build in file transfer feature:
Choose profile kind "Pi-Sync" and
a) Start KO/Pi,KA/Pi or PWM/Pi on remote device and
enable "Pi-Sync" on remote device with password and port.
b) Specify password, port and IP address in your profile.
You can sync with your mobile phone as well.
Everything is explained in more details below.
NOTE:
-If you do not use profile kind "Pi-Sync",
-it is recommended to close
-a running KO/Pi (KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) on the remote device.
+If you do not use profile kind "Pi-Sync", it is recommended to close a running KO/Pi (KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) on the remote device.

*************************************************************************
1) Qick overview of settings
*************************************************************************
a) Open sync settings dialog (Menu Synchronize - Configure...)
b) Give your device a unique name.
(unique in the set of all devices you want to sync with).
If you have already configured another devive and created
there a sync profile to sync with this device, give your device
the same name as this sync profile! The same name is important,
because it makes it possible to sync first A->B
(A local device, that performs the sync, B remote device)
and then B->A. Such that the B->A sync knows about the
already performed A->B sync.
That means: It is unimportant if you sync A->B or B->A,
the devices A and B will be synced properly.
c) Create a new sync profile and give it a unique name.
(unique in the set of all sync profiles on this device).
If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is already installed
and which has a given unique device name, use this device name as
your profile name ( refer to b) ).
d) Choose the profile kind of your syncing method:
(i) Local file or
(ii) Pi-Sync or
(iii) Remote file or
(iiii) Mobile Phone.
Detailed explanation in 6)
e) Choose the other profile options.
Detailed explanation in 2)
f) Close sync dialog with OK.
g) Sync.
NOTE:
AFTER SYNCING THERE ARE "SYNC EVENTS" CREATED
(OR UPDATED, IF IT ALREADY EXITS) FOR EACH SYNC PROFILE.
YOU MAY NOT DELETE OR CHANGE THESE EVENTS.
*************************************************************************
2) Sync settings in sync dialog
*************************************************************************
a) Local device name:
-> 1) b)
b) Profile:
-> 1) c)
c) Multiple Sync options: Include in multiple sync:
In the Synchronize menu, there is a multiple sync menu entry.
If you choose this menu entry, all user defined profiles with this
'Include in multiple sync' option enabled will be synced
one after another. And this twice. This will take some time.
After that sync, on all devices should be the same data.
d)- j) Sync algo options:
d) Ask for preferences before sync:
Check this to be asked for "Sync preferences" settings before each sync.
If the profile kind is "Pi-Sync" you will be asked to confirm
the "Pi-Sync" specific settings (Password,IP address, port number)
as well. That makes it possible to use that profile for a
device that is connected via DHCP to the network and gets different
IP addresses when connecting to the network.
e) Sync preferences:
Choose here your sync preferences.
Details -> 4)
f) Show summary after sync:
Check this to get a small summary dialog after sync
about number of added/changed/deleted events on local/remote.
g) Apply filter when adding data to local:
What is a filter? You can read this in -> 5)
With this option you can specify a filter for events/contacts,
which should be added to the local database, because they are
in the remote database and not in the local database.
(Database = calendar file or addressbook file).
Note that the filter is NOT applied to the remote
database before syncing. It is only applied to a particular
item which should be added to the local database.
Well, but what is the difference?
The differnce is: If the remote database AND the local database contain
an already synced item, which does not match the filter, then this item is synced.
If the remote database contains an item which does not match the filter
and the local database does not contain this item, then this item is not added
to the local database, but it is still in the remote database after syncing.
g) Write back synced data:
Uncheck this to update the local calendar only.
I.e. your local calendar is synced with the remote calendar
but nothing on the remote calendar is changed.
If you uncheck "Write back synced data", the settings
under h) and i) are ignored, of course.
h) - j) Write back options:
h) Write back (on remote) existing entries only:
Check this to update the remote data only.
I.e. no data from yor local calendar/addressbook is added to the
remote device. You may use this option to
sync against some kind of "public calendar/addressbook" without
adding anything of your personal data.
But in this case, you cannot add an item to the remoet device.
i) Apply filter when adding data to remote:
What is a filter? You can read this in -> 5)
With this option you can specify a filter for events/contacts,
which should be added to the remote database, because they are
in the local database and not in the remote database.
(Database = calendar file or addressbook file).
Note that the filter is NOT applied to the local
database before syncing. It is only applied to a particular
item of the local database which should be added to the remote database.
Well, but what is the difference?
The differnce is: If the local database AND the remote database contain
an already synced item, which does not match the filter, then this item is synced.
If the local database contains an item which does not match the filter
and the remote database does not contain this item, then this item is not added
to the remote database, but it is still in the local database after syncing.
Example:
You have specified a calendar filter "only public events".
You specify this filter as the outgoing filter for syncing.
If there is an event in the local database which is not "public", but "private",
this event is not added to the remote database.
If there is an event in the local database and in the remote database which is
"private" (maybe added by someone else) then this event is synced and
it is in the local database and in the remote database after syncing.
That means in particular you cannot remove an event from the remote
database but setting it to "private".
If you want to remove the event you can clone it, set it to private and delete the
original event. Then the original event is deleted in the remote database after sync and
the cloned event is not added to the remote database, because it is private.
j) Write back (calendar) entries for time period only:
Check this to write back only calendar entries for a given time period.
(Useful when syncing with mobile phones.)
You can specify the date range in weeks for the weeks in the past to the weeks in the future.
k) Profile kind:

3) Syncing background
*************************************************************************
The same mentioned for calendars is valid for addressbooks as well.
-Synchronizing calendars ( i.e. files ) means,
-to merge two calendars in a useful way.
-If the two calendars are completely different,
-there is no problem, the resulting calendar contains
-all data from the local and from the remote calendar.
-
-Problems will occur, if you have edited items
-from the local calendar on the remote machine.
-Then it could be, that items are in conflict.
-Two items are "in conflict", if they have the
-same unique ID (which get an item at time of
-creation and owns it until it is deleted )
-and they both are modified after the last
-synchronization.
-
-At first sync of two calendars there is no item deleted.
-If the calendars are synced before and there is an item,
-which is not edited after the last sync and is only
-available in one calendar, then this item is deleted
-in this calendar.

5) How a filter works
*************************************************************************
-A filter is a rule to decide if a particular item
-(calendar iten item or contact item) belongs to a set of items.
+A filter is a rule to decide if a particular item (calendar iten item or contact item) belongs to a set of items.
For example, you can specify a set as:
Only items, that belongs to that category.
Or: Only items, that does not belong to that category.
Or: Only items, that are public.
-If you specify a filter in a syncing profile, you can set the
-rules of adding items to the local or remote database.
+If you specify a filter in a syncing profile, you can set the rules of adding items to the local or remote database.
Example:
-You have a public calendar in your company, which contains all
-company relevant data.
-
-You have different projects in the company and for project specific events
-is always set the project name as a category:
-E.g. all events of the project PRO_ABC do have set the categorie PRO_ABC.
-But you are not interested in events of PRO_ABC, because you are not working on it.
-Then you can specify a filter: All, but not with categoroy PRO_ABC.
-When you specify this filter as an incoming filter for your sync profile,
-all events of the company are synced and added to your local calendar, but not
-the evenst of the project PRO_ABC.
-
-You do not want that your private data can be seen
-in the public calendar of your company.
-Well, set the property to "private" for all your private data
-and specify an outgoing filter: Only " public" and "confidential".
-Then you can sync your personal calendar with the calendar of the company,
-but your private data is not added to the public calendar.

Then you can sync your personal calendar with the calendar of the company, but your private data is not added to the public calendar.
*************************************************************************
6) Details about sync profile kinds
*************************************************************************
a) Local file
Please specify a local file you want to sync with.
Note: If you are syncing a file, which is used by KA/Pi, please check the
"Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi".
If you are syncing with a file from KAddressbook or another program,
please uncheck "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi".
To set this properly is important! KA/Pi uses a "last modified" property,
which is not supported by KAddressbook.
b) Pi-Sync (direct Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi sync)
We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi.
If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is
installed, you can easily get the remote file via network
with the build in file transfer feature "Pi-Sync":
You have first to enable file transfer on the remote device:
- Start KO/Pi on the remote device.
- Choose Menu Synchronize-Enable Pi-Sync.
- Choose a port number, where KO/Pi should listen for
file sending requests. Valid port numbers are numbers
between 1 and 65565. Do not specify port numbers, that are
used by other applications. A port number between 9000 and 9999
is most likely not used by another application.
The default port number is 9197 for KO/Pi.
If you specify a port number, which is already in use,
you will get an error message when closing this dialog.
- Choose a password.
- Click OK.
Now KO/Pi will send the calendar data via the network,
if some other device is sending a "please send calendar"
request on the given port using the given password.
If you want to be sure, nobody can access your calendar
data, simply disable the file transfer feature on the
remote device after the syncing is done by choosing:
Menu Synchronize-Disable Pi-Sync.
Note: If you want to sync with a remote device that gets different
IPaddresses each time connected to the network
(this may be the case, if you use DHCP for connection
of the remote device to the network) simply enable
"Ask for preferences before sync".
Then you will be asked to confirm the
"Pi-Sync" specific settings
(Password,IP address, port number)
and you can easily change the IP address before each sync.
On your local device, create a new profile and choose
profile kind "Pi-Sync".
Fill in the needed values:
- Password for remote access:
The password you specified on the remote device.
- Remote IP address:
The IP address of the remote device.
- Remote port number:
The port number you specified on the remote device.
Now you can syncronize your local device easily with your
remote device. This works well for all platforms KO/Pi is
running on, e.g. syncing a KO/Pi on Zaurus with KO/Pi on Windows
is now very easy.
c) Remote file
Note: If you are syncing a file, which is used by KA/Pi, please check the
"Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi".
If you are syncing with a file from KAddressbook or another program,
please uncheck "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi".
To set this properly is important! KA/Pi uses a "last modified" property,
which is not supported by KAddressbook.
Syncing with the profile kind "Remote file" is performed in three steps:
i) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file
ii) sync with this temp file
iii) upload the synced file to the remote device
The down-/uploading if i) and iii) is done via a command line command.
Please specify the download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) and the
file name of the temp file in the corresponding fields.
d) Mobile device (cell phone)
Note: On the Zaurus you have to install the phoneaccess_xxx_arm.ipk package
to be able to access mobile phones.
We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi.
Note:
It is only possible to sync a mobile phone with one particular device
running KO/Pi. If you want to be able to write data of more than one device
to the mobile phone (e.g. from your Zaurus and from your Windows Laptop)
do not sync with the mobile phone at all, but use the
"Export to phone" functionality from the different devices.
Using "Export to phone" makes it not possible to get back data from the
phone, if it was changed there, of course.
If you sync with the phone, do not use "Export to phone" from any device.
(And do not sync, as mentioned above, from any other device with that phone).
