4 Synchronize using SyncJe
for BlackBerry
The
first time you synchronize a slow sync is performed. Slow sync sends all data on
your device to the server. After the initial sync all modifications made on
your device are recorded and transferred to the server in the next sync
session. Only data changed on the client
or the server will be synced.
A) Start Synchronization
- On your
BlackBerry browse for SyncJe on the Main Menu of your BlackBerry.
- Select
SyncJe by clicking the “Track wheel.”
- Select
“Start Sync” by clicking the “Track wheel.”
B) New Slow Sync Session
To
perform a new slow sync after the initial slow sync you will have to reset.
Resetting removes the information that keeps track of changes and when the last
sync session was made.
Reset Option
Resetting
will remove sync session information.
To Reset
- On
your BlackBerry browse for SyncJe on the Main Menu of your BlackBerry.
- Select
SyncJe by clicking the “Track wheel.”
- Click
the “Track wheel” again; select “Reset” from the menu.
Once
you have reset, a slow sync will be forced the next time you select “Start
Sync.”
Sync times
may vary due to 
the following:
·
Internet connection
speed
·
Amount of data being
transferred and time elapsed during transfer.
·
OS version of your
BlackBerry
C) Supported information
There
are some contact information fields in your Blackberry which are not supported by
SyncJe; this is because these fields either cannot be accessed or are not
supported by the SyncML standard. They are:
Contacts (vCard)
- Birthday
- PIN
- Categories
- Web
Page
- User
Fields 1-4
Calendar (vCal)
- Recurring
Events: Monthly by Position and Yearly by Date are not supported.
- Sensitivity
(public/private) is not supported.
D) Functions depending on OS version
OS Versions < 4.0.1.xx
Calendar and task listener is not
working (changes on the device will not get synced)
OS Versions < 4.0.2.xx
Contacts will only sync one address,
either home or work.
OS Versions < 4.1.0.xx
All-day events in calendar will not be
set.
Time zone setting in task is ignored,
the device time zone will be used instead.
OS Versions <= 4.2.0.xx
“Other”
phone number in Contacts is not being synced.
5 The Settings Dialog
If you decide
to buy the client after the trial period has expired you will get a license
name and license key, which will unlock the software.
This is where
you enter the address to your SyncML server. On some models the line will break
up into two or more, this is normal. Some common ways for addresses to appear
are:
http://www.syncserver.net/sync
http://www.syncserver.net:8080/sync
http://24.123.345.345:8080/sync
Most if not all
servers will have at least one level of security, if you have a user name and
password for SyncML security enter them here.
It’s possible
to retrieve the names of the folders from the server directly if this function
is supported by the server, that way you don’t have to enter the text manually.
Once you have entered Server URL and username, password you can select “Get
Folders” from the menu. The phone will pause for a while as the information is
retrieved from the Server.
If you get the
following error message : Error: Invalid Credentials
make sure the
Username, Password or URL is correct.
You can also
enter the folder names manually, please check the names of the folders with the
server administrator.
If you activate
this feature, syncing will occur in the background on the time interval you
have selected. You can, for example, have the client automatically sync every 3
hours.
Since the sync
runs as a background task, there is no visual confirmation during sync.
Start the
client and select “View log” to see when the last background sync was done and
what the result was.
If you have a
large number of events in your calendar you might not want to sync all, set the
number of days before and after the current date that should be included in the
sync. Your server must support this
functionality.
There are three
different settings depending on what type of connection to the Internet is
available to you.
WAP
Select WAP if
your service provider supports direct tcp/ip. You might have to enter
additional settings in Options/Advanced Options/TCP.
MDS
If you are
connected to the Internet through an MDS server, you need to check this
box. Some service providers requires MDS
to be set, if you are not able to connect to your SyncML server you can try and
check this box.
BIS
If your service
provider supports BIS-B you can use this options. If you have an icon with the
title “Internet Browser” you should have access to BIS-B.
WAP Gateway
You might have
to set up extra parameters for some service providers. Please see out website
www.nexthaus.com for more information
H)
HTTP User Name and Password
Some servers
use a second level of security.
Enter your user
name and password here if you see this error message when you sync: 506
Transport layer failed while sending message to server: Authentication
failed
Sometimes the
HTTP user name and password will be the same as the SyncML user name and
password.
Select this box
to get more detailed information in the log.
A few servers
will ask you to enter an IMEI number or other unique number to identify the
device. You should use the PIN number of your Blackberry instead. Goto
Settings> Options>Status
to find your PIN number.
