Accessing purged and archived calendar entries

I've been using Palm Calendar since 2003 (Palm Vx, Palm m500, Treo 680), but have never purged.
Now that I've got +32,000 entries, the sync takes too long and the phone takes more than a minute to respond if I select any calendar entry.
So I think I'll need to purge. My questions are:
1. How can purged and archived entries be accessed? Would that be the DateBook.dba file?
2. Does each successive archived purge add entries to the same file or do them overwrite the previous file with only the most recently purged items?
I'm sorry if the answers to these questions have already been posted, but I couldn't find them in any thread.
Thanks,
Max

Just found out the answers using Palm's Live Support:
Max Brenner says: I'd like to know how to read purged items
Tom says: You can open it from PalmDesktop. It will be saved as archive. You can open the archive file.
Max Brenner says: file/open archive/DateBook.dba?
Tom says: Yes. You are right.
Max Brenner says: Then what happens with this file the next time I purge again after a few months?
Tom says: It will be saved in that dba file.
Max Brenner says: but will previously archived files remain there too? Or will they be overwritten?
Tom says: It will be overwritten that information.
Max Brenner says: So I'll want to back it up first. Is it possible to merge the content of 2 dba files?
Tom says: Yes, You can do it by importing 2 dba files. Then export the entire information to a dba file.
Max Brenner says: Last question. Is there a limit of how many entries Palm Desktop can handle on my Treo 680?
Tom says: There is no limit until the memory gets full.
Max Brenner says: Ok. Thank you so much, Tom!
Tom says: You are most welcome!

EP7 and Outlook Calendar entries

Hi,
I have a requirement where Calendar will be collaborated with EP7 and the calendar entries will need to be edited on events triggered from Portal.
is there any connectivity between Outlook and Portal such that i can retrieve calendar data for a user and could change calendar entries programmatically through some API.
I'll be thankful, if i get some inputs from you.
Thanks
MM

Well, I've followed some instructions at another thread, and gotten reid of all the CICAL links in my Services section. That's removed the "Send as" and an email address for each calendar item on the BB. Also, all of them are now the same color, and all are part of the "Default" calendar.
When I go to the DM Backup and Restore > Advanced, I see I have only one Calendar on the BB and it has all my records.
Problem is that it still doesn't sync with Outlook. All that's left on my outlook calendar are a handful of appts added after the Facebook update. The rest of the appts on my handheld will not sync, even if I set the sync command to one way / replace all.
So that's where it stands. Any further help would be most welcome.

Oracle EBS Data Purging and Archival

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any tool available in market for Oracle EBS data purging and Archival?
Thanks,

yes, there are 3rd-party tool available which will apply a set of business rules (ie all data older than Nov.1, 2007) through the various Oracle modules implemented at a customer site.
They are 3rd-party tools; You can go to Oracle.com and look in partners validated integration solutions. At the moment there are 2 partners offering such integrated solution:
Solix EDMS Validated Integration with 12.1
IBM Optim Data Growth Solution
the only other solution is to hire OCS for a customized developed solution

DTA Purge and Archive (BizTalkDTADb) - is the backup part redundant?

BTS_BizTalkDTADb_Full_BTS_2014_08_11_00_00_00_700.bak comes from Backup BizTalk Server (BizTalkMgmtDb)
BTS_BizTalkDTADb_Aug_11_2014_11_35PM.bak comes from DTA Purge and Archive (BizTalkDTADb)
Are these two functionally the same if I need to restore?
Also, is there a way to set DTA Purge and Archive to use local time because it is creating the backups during business hours.

As la Cour states, they serve different purposes and you can schedule the DTA Purge and Archive any way you want, once a day at 0300 for example.
You could also do the same for Backup BizTalk Server so long as you would still meet any SLA.
You also have the option to purge only on the DTA database, meaning no archive files are produced:

DTA Purge And Archive(SSODB)

Hi all,
In Sql Agent jobs I am Seeing two jobs
1.DTA Purge and Archive (BizTalkDTADb)
2.DTA Purge and Archive (SSODB)
The job for first is succeded and but for 2nd its failing again and again in Job activity Monitor.
Can i Know how to configure 2 one that is for SSODB

As name suggests DTA Purge and Archive job is meant to purge data from DTA DB.
There isn't any job for SSO DB, also SSO DB will have important configuration related data which should not be touched(forget about purging).
So I would suggest you to look into DTA Purge and Archive job to see what exactly is the function of that job and if it is pointing to SSODB and trying to harm it, delete that job.
Below is a very good article from Microsoft which gives complete information about all the BizTalk related jobs, please have a look it will be definitely very helpful.

8330 and duplicate calendar entries

For some reason I am getting duplicate calendar entries (of the same event) from multiple email addresses. How to I stop this? I'm using Google sync (working fine) but I get entries from my Hotmail, another local ISP and Juno. And Juno doesn't offer a calendar that I know of. 8330 Curve on US Cellular. Some times just 2 dups sometimes 3. I've cleared the Facebook calendar app on the 8330 (that is my Juno account) But I don't use the Hotmail calendar and the local ISP email doesn't offer a calendar function.

Hi Ridgeroader,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
It sounds like the calendar invitations are being received in different device calendars. Each email account integrated on your BlackBerry has a calendar associated with it. If your receive an invitation in one email account and accept it, it will be stored in the associated calendar on your device. This KB article and this blog post should provide more information on dealing with multiple device calendars: http://bbry.lv/cBptUW and http://bbry.lv/bozTNY

Delete and Archive iCal entries

Hi,
With other agenda/ToDo programs I have used, things get full and sluggish after a certain amount of entries accumulate. Typically, there is an option to delete and archive more distant entries from the past, along with ToDo items that have been checked off. These can be opened and searched separately, and I have typically archived ~ yearly.
Is there any built-in option to do this with iCal? I know there is an option to backup the database, but I thought this was mostly in case of corruption or loss of the file. If there is no built-in option, is this necessary, or will iCal operate without slowing or problems no matter how many entries I have? I prefer to have the deleted entries saved and able to be searched, to help track down distant past appointments and tasks.
As a last resort, are there any separate programs that allow this? I have been unable to find anything thus far.
Thanks in advance for any answers or advice on this matter.

I just explored the gmail site and found the Archive button but no file. I selected a message and clicked Archive, homing the Archive file would appear. No luck. Nor can I find in the phone's Mail settings that I want to delete rather than archive. One would think Apple would have a document to suggest ways of managing email. One would think.

Display ALL "future" entries and archive "past" entries

Is it possible to display ALL blog entries with a date that will happen in the future (today, and after today and as many as there are, not just 5), and place any blog entries from the past (anything dated yesterday and before) in the archive?
I have too many blog entries regarding items coming up in the future. If I have 8 future items listed, people can only see the 5 that are the farthest into the future - weeks and months from now. They can't the the ones that are two weeks from now, or two days from now without going into the archive - and that's just weird, archiving items that haven't even happened yet. I think Stephen Hawking would take issue with that.
So the simple solution is simply increasing the number of blog entires shown (to like a dozen or so), the better solution is archive the past items, show the future items. I'll settle for either one at this point.
If you can tell me how to do either, you will have made a lot of people's day.
Here's a link to the page if that helps:
http://www.troop29marietta.org/Troop29marietta/News/News.html
Thanks.

So, while I will concede the point that perhaps my desire to have iWeb recognize dates in the future and dates in the past when compared with the current date it has in its brain and treat the archive accordingly, you have to agree the setting of "5" displayed entries is simply a setting that has nothing to do with the conceptions of blogging. Surely there is someway of telling iWeb to display 8 or 12 entries instead of 5. I'll gladly settle for that.
you can set iweb to display up to 50 blog summary entries.
Inspector --> RSS --> Blog pane --> change value of 'Number of excerpts to show'
iweb blog summary/archive entries have date string so you need javascript to compare that to today date.
to display entries with dates in the future just simply hide any entries with dates in the past.
and to display entries with dates in the past just simply hide any entries with dates in the future.
here my example:
http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/CustomBlog_Display/Some_Blog/SomeBlog.html
there are 3 entries in the future, 1 entry for today and 3 entries in the past, you can see all 7 in the rss.xml feed, my javascript hides them accordingly.

4th Gen iPad creating double and triple calendar entries

Syncing my iMac to my iPad and appointments are showing up on my iPad in duplicate and triplicate. How can I make sure appointments only show up once?

Editing this as I am moving my original post as 2nd option, I have an easier one coming.
OPTION1:
DTM, backup device
open BB calendar, click menu options
type RSET (you wont see it type) this will wipe both calendars off the BB
within a few minutes your BES should return whatever is in your outlook back to the BB
OPTION 2:
I am hoping both DD and Desktop have the same number of entries
Open DTM
go to backup and restore
plug in BB
click backup
when backup is complete, click on advanced
on the right side... scroll down to calendar
you wil see calendar and calendar all
select calendar and click CLEAR button at the bottom
then unplug
on your BB, open calendar, click menu and options
type MOVE(you wont see it type) you will then be prompted to merge contacts from device default to desktop
say yes

Infact I now see that calendar entries updated in iOS 6 are all uneditable

Infact I now see that calendar entries updated in iOS 6 are all uneditable

Force-closing the calendar app should and toggling iCloud syncing of your iCloud calendar shouldn't have effected your On My Mac entries as they are not synced with iCloud. Open your calendar, tap the Calendars button on the top left and make sure you have selected to view your On My Mac calendar. If it's not, select it and these calendar entries will be restored.
You may want to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at a nearby Apple store to have them take a look at your phone. I'm not sure else to suggest short of restoring it.

Non-recurring calendar entries did not restore from backup

I synch contacts and calendar from PC, music and video from Mac. In the past, when I synced a new iphone for the first time, the backup on Itunes on my Mac automatically restored all contacts and calendar entries onto the new iPhone. Today, however, when I did the maiden sync on new 3GS (old iphone was first generation), my contacts and settings seem to have generally been restored, but none of my calendar entries made it over except for a few repeat calendar entries. I'm assuming I will pick up the missing calendar entries when I do my first sync to PC, but does anyone have a theory as to why this happened? Shouldn't all contacts and calendar entries be restored from the backup on the Mac, even though I do not keep my contacts and calendar on the Mac? Thanks for the help.

Follow up to my post -- I now realize that the contacts that got restored to my 3GS are in fact way outdated -- so it appears that the backup from which I restored, while it seems to have had current settings, had very outdated contacts and calendar. It may be that at one time the backup process captured contacts and calendar but no longer does, which I guess means the user has to sync to the computer where he syncs contacts and calendar to get current data onto the iphone (just like I did for music). This may sound obvious to most people, but bear in mind that my 3GS got a list of contacts (and some calendar entries) from SOMEWHERE when I synced to my Mac, even though my Mac has no such data (it is on my PC in Outlook).

Please help! I think I wiped out 7 years of calendar entries!

Thanks for your time! I have been keeping very detailed notes day to day for the past seven plus years. Lately, I've done most of my entries right on my Laptop (Macbook Pro - OS 10.4.11.)
My Palm Tungsten T2 would NOT charge more than 1/4 of the way after many hours. I did a hard reset and wiped out all my data on the handheld.
When I went to Hot sync, it kept saying "identifying user." Then it would NOT sync. I played with the conduit settings - but had no luck making it work.
That's when I did something very foolish.
I set just the calendar conduit setting (the most important one to me) to:
"handheld over rides MacIntosh"
Bad idea.
Since the handheld was blank, it wiped out my Calendar on the laptop.
(Noooooo!!!!!)
Please tell me there is SOME kind of back-up of some sort.
Thank you so much.
Michael

If this is an iCloud calendar, and the calendar entries were still on your iPhone when you last backed it up to iCloud, it may be possible to restore them from the iCloud backup. Doing this is a bit tricky, and you'll have to follow the process outlined here to do so: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. This was written as a process to restore contacts, but the process is the same for iCloud calendars (just substitute calendars for contacts).

Ovi sync not syncing all Calendar entries

I have just added a lot of birthdays in the Ovi calendar web application. After I finished this I synchronised with Ovi via my handset. However it has not picked up any off the new and updated calendar entries.
Is there anyway to force them to sync correctly?

Hi
I think you're experiencing the same issue I described in an earlier post:
/t5/Ovi-com-Ovi-Store-Ovi-Share-and/New-OVI-Calendar-web-application-syncronization-issue/td-p/73533...
I can't believe it is non working for that long. I wish Nokia rolls back to the previous web calendar to resume the sync.
