SyncML/CustomBackend
[[toc]]
- File Formats for various sync devices
Various SyncML capable devices exchange data (adress, calendar, todo, notes) in various data formats. This page is designed to collect as many examples from as many devices as possible to allow for an implementation that can deal with any of these.
++ Synthesis SyncML client
The Synthesis (www.synthesis.ch) client can be used to sync Palm and various Windows Mobile PDAs.

++ Getting your device's file format
If you have been asked for the format that your device sends data in, you need to perform a sync of the kind of data in question. To get a dump of the device data, create an address entry (or an event, or ...) with all features (as many device fields filled in as possible). Then do a sync. Within /tmp/sync then do:
for a in *.wbxml; do wbxml2xml -m 1 -i 4 -o basename $a .wbxml_conv.xml $a; done 2>/dev/null
You need libwbxml (http://libwbxml.aymerick.com/) installed. Then you get _conv.xml data with the readable XML in it. Locate the "BEGIN:VCARD" or "BEGIN:VEVENT" part in the client_conv.xml files; then you can add the data to this collection.
