Palm

Setting up the shared Oracle Calendar on your Palm.

What is it?

The Corporate Time Calendar can synchronise with your palm Datebook! Any meeting you schedule on your palm will be added to the calendar server the next time you hotsync, and vice versa.

How do I do it?

  1. You must have Palm Desktop installed already before setting up CorporateSync. If you've been using this Palm a while, you probably do but checking your list of installed programs wouldn't hurt.
  2. Download the Corporate Sync for Palm from the Software Center
  3. Once the csync_palm.exe has finished downloading, it may open automatically. If it does not, simply double click on it to install.
  4. Click Next on the installer screen, if you get an error saying that a program is causing a problem with the install, close that program and then click 'retry'.
  5. Click Next again and then 'Finish'. Corporate Sync is now installed.
  6. Corporate Sync should automatically open. If it does not, go into programs and doubleclick on 'CorporateSync for the Palm'.
  7. The 'Sign In' settings should be open, if not click on 'sign in' at the top of the list on the left. Enter your User id and password (this is the same as your Case User ID and password. The User id is based on your initials followed by a number. For Example John Q. Public might have a user id of jxp99).
  8. Enter calendar-server.case.edu in the server box, and the node as 101.

  9. You can set other settings now if you like or just click Okay to close the settings. Other settings you may wish to set include the Date Range for the Date Book and To Do List and the Rules.
    The default date range is just one week into the past and future, if you'd like to keep earlier and later meetings on your calendar you'll need to click on the plus next to 'Date Book', click on 'settings' and change the date range. Under Rules you can set which calendar is the one which should overwrite the other in case of a conflict, by default it is set to the calendar server. If you'd rather it be the Palm you can change it under 'Rules'.
  10. You're done! Simply sync your palm to update your Date Book.
