Hello Guy,
That 503 error sounds familiar to me. I don't have detail insight into OCS, but
we've done a lot of testing together with the SyncML guys at Oracle. We've seen
that 503 usually when a previous sync with the same user or device has not sucessfully
completed, and a session was still pending somehow. Just leaving the server alone for
5mins and trying again has usually worked.
This situation easily happens when testing new stuff, but in normal operation this is rare
so end users don't run into that too often. Still, some do and we have a FAQ entry on
the Synthesis site for that:
http://www.synthesis.ch/faq.php?lang=e (BTW: Altough that FAQ
is for our commercial products, it might be helpful regarding compatibility issues with
libsynthesis based clients as well.
Best Regards,
Lukas Zeller

Thank you very much for your reply. The log of my latest attempt is attached. Here is
the situation.
Server: Oracle Calendar OCAS v10.1.2.3.4
Client: SyncEvolution 1.0beta2a
Host: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 32-bit
I have both manually created a profile and (following your explanation) I've used the
built-in oracle template. Both result in the exact same 503 error. As you can see from
the log, credential authentication is successful. As is the query for the Sync server

SyncEvolution both successfully authenticates a session and it successfully queries and

The abort happens soon after.
You'll know why this "Command 'Alert'" is being sent to the server?
What is the expected server response?
Using Oracle-supplied steps I created a sync profile for SyncEvolution (much like the
article about SE and Beehive mentions). I can see that the Sync server records the
connection in data for my user account, but that data is minimal as the sync session is
terminated after the 503 error (I've included the full directory listing for my data
so you can see what the various files look like on the Oracle side of things; the 364A7A16
set are from use of a Palm Synthesis; the IMEI is a Blackberry Nexthaus client; the
NL-283134 is NotifyLink Enterprise Server):

It's obvious from the file sizes alone that the syncevolution data files have minimal
information as all are less than 90 *bytes*.
How can we trouble-shoot this?
Again, I'm the Oracle Calendar admin so I have complete access to all facets of the
Oracle OCAS (sync server) configuration and logs. I can give you WAY more debug log data
than you really want :-)
Where I want to go with my testing is a process that will allow users of MacOS Apple iCal
a method to connect to and read/write their Oracle Calendar data. Right now that is not
possible. We've a project to replace our Oracle Calendar but that's going to take
two years. If I can get our many Mac users a method to access their Oracle account using
Apple iCal, I'd be a very happy person. Because syncevolution writes its data to a
file using icalendar, there's a chance that same data file may work with Apple iCal
(as it works for Evolution) since Apple iCal supports iCalendar (!?).

Guy
