Problems after Running the csvdmig Migration Utility

Sun Java System Communications Sync 3.0 Known Problems
If your site runs the csvdmig
migration utility to use hosted (virtual) domains, Sun Java System
Communications Sync users will see the following message when they try to
synchronize their data to Calendar Server:
Cannot access calendar data
source. Check general troubleshooting under online help.
The csvdmig utility adds a domain name to
each calendar ID (calid) for calendar
names in the Calendar Server database and LDAP directory server. For example,
suppose you run csvdmig to migrate a
user named jsmith, with the domain as sesta.com. A calendar name that was jsmith:public-calendar is changed to jsmith@sesta.com:public-calendar.
Consequently, Sun Java System Communications Sync cannot find jsmith’s
calendar with the revised name.
To synchronize with their Sun Java System Calendars, users must perform
these steps (which are also included in the Sun Java System Communications Sync
online help):
1. On the Sun Java System Communications Sync screen, click Settings.
2. On the Settings screen, click the Data Sources tab.
3. Select Sun Java System Calendar.
5. Click OK on the Sun Java System Translator dialog.
6. On Calendar Options, reselect your existing Sun Java System Calendar name
in the drop-down list.
7. Click OK. Important: Do not click Cancel.
8. On the Sun Java System Translator dialog, click Yes.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 for Sun Java System Tasks.
10. Important: On the General tab on the Settings screen, check “Force full
synchronization”.
Users should then be able to synchronize with their Sun Java System Calendars.
If this doesn't resolve the problem, contact your Sun technical support
representative.
