3 p.m.
Hi,
I was finally able to get this resolved after bit of tweaking and
understanding things more clearly.
First thing I noticed that somehow I was not having peer config for Phone
in place. Though in GUI i was able to see it but when I looked into
/home/suyog/.config/syncevolution/default/peers ,� i could not see config
named as my Phone(Nokia E52)
So I first created this peer config with syncevolution --template Nokia
S60 Nokia E52 command
Once peer was created , I changed config.ini file for each
source(Addressbook, calendar+todo, memo).
I set Sync = refresh-from-server� , this allowed me to write
Evolution(server) data to phone.
This worked very well, and I had all data back in Phone, Many Thanks for
saving the day for me.
Once, This was working I tried to check Evolution sync with Ovi.com. I
created again peer for this with command
syncevolution --template Ovi Ovi
Since I had already lost all data on Ovi.com, i decided to send all data
from Evolution to ovi.com
I put my Ovi username and special sync password.
I noted that Notes(memo) was disabled.Addressbook, calendar+todo was
available.
I set sync direction as "send changes to ovi"
This worked perfectly for Addressbook, todos but Birthdays/Anniversary in
calendar failed to ovi.com, no error also. other events in calendar get
to ovi.com without any issue.
Then I tried Notes which also failed. I guess you know "notes" problem
that's why may be you have disabled it in template.
So overall I am really happy with this. I am able to quickly change peers
in GUI and sync with phone over bluetooth or with Ovi.com over
internet(HTTP)
This type of functionality for Ovi.com is just not available right now
with Ovi suite also(which only syncs contacts from phone<->Outlook<->Ovi
Suite<->Ovi.com) I doesnt support calendar or todos yet.
I will try to do more detailed testing and report my findings to MeeGo
tracker.
Best Regards,
Suyog

Many Thanks to earlier email from Yongsheng. I was able to restore data
to�
Evolution and can see it. :)
But now for some reason,I am not able to write it to phone or ovi. Though
i
t syncs ,no data is being transefered to phone or ovi.com.
I tried fix emergency option which allows option to delete remote
data(phon
e over BT or ovi.com) but it still doesnt work.any clue as what may be
wrong�here?

Also, if unsure about what --restore will do, run it in combination
with
--dry-run first and it'll tell you what it would do without
actually
modifying any data.

New subject: [SyncEvolution] Please help - restore from backup syncevolution

Yes, maybe. Syncing with Ovi may still have some bugs or limitations. Besides,
different servers have different behaviors or understanding on protocols and
specifications.
Welcome to report bugs. ☺
Then I tried Notes which also failed. I guess you know
"notes" problem that's why may be you have disabled it in template.
Do you create the config for ‘ovi’ in a terminal without a launched dbus daemon? If
yes, it will make ‘notes’ disabled by default.
I will try to do more detailed testing and report my findings to
MeeGo tracker.
Thanks. Bugzilla: http://bugs.meego.com
