Sync with Outlook ONLY for a specific date range

I have a Zire 31 that I'm syncing with Outlook via latest Palm Desktop/HotSync.   I did just install the latest conduit.
I was getting several repeating calendar entries that were not syncing with the Zire (annual birthdays, etc.) - turns out that they did not have an "end-date" specified when created in Outlook.  Creating an end-date solved the problem.
However - I would like to know if it is possible to specify a certain date range for the device to sync (e.g., sync calendar only for years 2007 through 2050, or in other words sync from 1 year ago to 50 years in future, etc...)
I recall specifying this once years ago, but I may have been using a third party to sync with Lotus Notes at the time.  I'm wondering if this option is also available with syncing directly with Outlook using HotSync???  I can't imagine it's not, but I can't find where you specify it.
One more interesting note:  while my Zire 31 had issues syncing those repeating calendar entries - my much older HandSpring Visor Deluxe syncs them no problem!  Go figure.
Thanks much -

I'm not actually looking to purge old items.
Rather - I would like to ONLY sync calendar entries between a specified range of dates.  For example - ONLY sync for calendar entries between Jan 1 2007 and Jan 1, 2050.
the problem is that I have some repeating entries (birthdays, etc.) that are set up in Outlook with no end date.  Apparently Palm/HotSync is having trouble syncing these (they don't show up at all - for any year.)
One resolution is to apply an end-date for each repeating calendar entry.  However, this is just another step my wife needs to remember to do.  If you happen to forget to to this, then Hotsync will ignore that entry.  Fine if you realize that's happening, but if you forget and forget to check - you won't even know it didn't sync!
The other possible resolution is to only have HotSync sync for a SPECIFIC date range - one that does not presumably go to infinity.  That is my question - how does one sync ONLY for a specific date range.  Has nothing to do with purging old entries.
Thanks!!

  • Count records for a specific date range

    Hi,
    I am using BI Publisher with Siebel 8.1.1.1. I have a monthly report where I want to count the number of service requests entered per customer per month.
    I am using the following expression that works for one month:
    <?count(ssServiceRequest[ssSeverity[.='1-Critical'] and xdoxslt:date_diff('d',psfn:getCanonicalDate(ssCreated), xdoxslt:current_date($_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE), $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=28])?>
    However, I want to be able to specify a specific date range for my count, i.e ssCreated >= '01/02/2011' and <= '28/02/2011', as opposed to count for the past 28 days. Can you please advise what syntax I can use to specify a date range?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Claire

    Hello,
    Many many thanks for your reply.
    I'm doing as you suggest and am using the date_diff to the end of the period in question. I've tried the following to get the number of Service Requests with Severity 1-Critical, created in Jan 2011, feb 2011:
    <?count(ssServiceRequest[ssSeverity[.='1-Critical'] and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', (psfn:getCanonicalDate(ssCreated), $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-31', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=31])?>
    <?count(ssServiceRequest[ssSeverity[.='1-Critical'] and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', (psfn:getCanonicalDate(ssCreated), $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-02-28', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=28])?>
    In my xml sample data that I'm using I have 2 service requests that mean the criteria for Jan, yet when I run my report I'm getting '0'. The problem seems to be with my end of period date '2011-01-31'. I've also tried with both start and end period date (using a negative value as per your suggestion), but I still get '0':
    <?count(ssServiceRequest[ssSeverity[.='1-Critical'] and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', (psfn:getCanonicalDate(ssCreated), $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-01', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=-31 and xdoxslt:date_diff('d', (psfn:getCanonicalDate(ssCreated), $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE), '2011-01-31', $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE) <=31])?>
    Many thanks,
    Claire

    Hi,
    1. Even though when i give the Created on, and to date the system is displaying the report which is prior to the created on date.
    2. Similarly the report data is different when the field is maximum no of Hits is given. for example when i giving this field as 10, 20, 30, etc the report is showing only 10 line items. if i enter 50, 60 etc it is showing the list for half i given.
    Note that system is having more than 1000 line items to display..

  • Q-10 Calandar not syncing with Outlook, only some of the appointments show up?

    Anyone know why when I sync my phone with my computer, only some of the appointments from outlook show up on my phone?  this just started happening about a week ago?  Did I turn something off?  any help would be appreciated.
    Tony 

    I do not know why but from what you said it started a week ago so I assume it was working before that.
    Can you remember installing any new apps or updates on your computer or phone around that time.

  • Issue with displaying QM control chart for specific date range

    Dear All
    In our chemical mfg organisation, we just implemented SAP QM solution and things are working fine. I have implemented control  chart functionalities as below:
    SPC Criteria in Inspection Plan: Task List Charateristics / Material (0020)
    Sampling Procedure: Fixed Sample / SPC Inspection (without inspection point)
    We use process orders to get the inspection lots for products (material) and record results for the MICs and UD the inspection lots.
    Currently all our Control Chart have status 1 (created) and we have not moved any of those charts to status 3 and 5 yet.
    Using QGC1 when user trying to run control chart for any particular material in the plant and for a specific date range, report showing all the charts for that material with different MICs as expected. Though the result is NOT restricted to the selection dates either against "Lot Created On" or " Insp. Start Date" ( may be due to SPC criteria????) , its always showing all the result for any particular MIC for that material starting from go live till today.
    How to restrict the dispaly of result on the chart for any particular MIC against the Material / Plant within a specific date range ?
    Looking forward for your response.
    Best Regards
    SK

  • IPhone 4 (iOS5) not syncing with outlook 2010 calendar

    Hi Guys,
    My iPhone 4 has been working great for the last few months up until recently.  I have been able to sync with outlook 2010 for both my contacts and calendar using iTunes sync in the past with no problems..  I went to conference last week and got back in the office sync’d yesterday.  Things are not right. My contacts sync, but calendar does not sync either way (phone to PC - PC to phone).  I upgraded to iOS5 and reloaded iTunes and I'm having the same problem.  I also noticed that my sync is taking much, much longer (like there is a conflict somewhere.)   The contacts still sync, but no new/changed calendar entries.  Anyone have this problem and have any ideas how do I can fix it?  Is it a simple setting switch on the iPhone or iTunes?  It's getting very frustrating!!  One of my office mates has been taunting me with his android phone and I’m starting to feel like I might have to do something drastic to get my calendar back on my phone…
    Outlook version is MS Pro Plus 2010 - 14.0.5128.5000 (64-bit)
    iTunes version is 10.5.0.142
    iPhone version is 5.0 (9A334)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey, man. Sorry I have no solution, but it may not hurt to know you are not the only one.
    I uprgraded a 3GS to iOS 5, set it up to sync with iCloud initially, and then switched back to sync with PC as before. It seems that my calendar was syncing at first, but within a few days it just stopped.
    I also recall a ton of weird "sync conflicts" that I had to resolve, even though the iTunes conflict reslover showed information that was identical in Outlook and iPhone calendar.
    Notes and contacts sync just fine with Outlook 2003 under Windows Vista for me, but calendar will not sync at all any more, either direction.
    I have tried most of the suggestions, including restoring iPhone and creating a whole new user account in Windows and tried syncing iPhone and Outlook via iTunes that way (and both USB and wifi). I did not seem to have any better success.
    This is a disaster. So far I have just been using Notes to MANUALLY sync calendar info between devices.
    I have never given nearly as much thought to Android as I have lately.
    It may be time to call Apple Support, but my previous experiences with them (and the "Geniuses" at the store) were underwhelming.

  • Can iPhone sync with outlook exchange

    Can iphone sync with Outlook Exchange for business?

    Outlook, or Exchange? There is no "Outlook Exchange".

  • Need to create a report to show values for a particular date range

    I have to create a report, out of which I need two columns : << Customer Value Variance and Churn Score Variance >> to show values only for a custom date range, which will be entered via a dashboard prompt.
    These generic date columns are not present and cannot be added. I have to make use of Pres variables
    What I have currently done is:
    1) Created a prompt with 2 different date columns and passing those values into variables vStartDate and vEndDate. (I don't actually need those 2 column which I have selelcted, but I have taken those so that I can prompt the values in calendar format and pass onto the variables)
    2) Created report with necessary columns, with 2 extra columns (hidden) as vStart Date Column and vEnd Date Column which take the values from the presentation variables defined in the prompt. I have created these columns as then I can reference these in the two required columns if necessary.
    I am already facing error in report after doing this and I am confused how to proceed. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
    Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables.

  • My iphone calendar stopped syncing with outlook 7 thru the cloud. I clicked on tools, trust center, add ins. icloud add in had been disabled. I tried to re enable it but was told that this could only be done by administrator. I am the admin. Help????

    My iphone calendar stopped syncing with outlook 7 thru the cloud. I clicked on outlook tools, trust center, add ins. I noted that icloud add in had been disabled. I tried to re enable it but got a message that this change could only be done by administrator. I am the administrator. Help???? Any ideas?

    I do not believe this. I have been going nuts trying everything as in prior posts, and this has been a problem for users at least since 2010. I had this problem a long time ago and didn't pay too much attention to it because it was my iPad, and I depended on my BB a a base calander to feed Outlook. I became very concerned within the past week when I switched my BB to iPhone 5s, and was carrying both because I still needed to carry the BB for new calander enteries to sync up to Outlook 2007.
    I had followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and delete the apple s/w and re-installed. But according to the previous post, it appears that the issue was in the data - which was not deleted during all these deinstalls nor overridden with the new installs.
    I am a XP user, so my files are in documents and settings/(username) both application data and \local settings\application data, but I also have safari and quicktime installed as well and didn't want to just blow entire high level folders if I didn't have to.
    So I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 then purged several apple folders in my windows profile and this definitely blew apple computer\preferences away. What I did was a little clumbsy, and desperate, but it worked. I am finally back in business.
    However, I would like to see someone fine tune this and determine if it was just the preferences folder that needed to be deleted so that iTunes needed to rebuild it, or if there were other filoes that were apparently corrupted away, just to get this to the minimum number of steps to fix the issue.
    BUT THANKS - This has been the most HELPFUL thread to get me syncing agai!!!!

  • Suddenly ICal & Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac

    2 days ago, ICal and Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac 2011.  I still have full functionality of Email in Outlook.
    What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    Any solution here yet? I have the same issue. After upgrading to Yosemite Outlook for mac kept requiring me to "rebuild identity database"
    I did this many times so there were many new identities.
    Finally I researched and found out that after the Yosemite update outlook would rebuild identity and once you do that there is a mismatch of your email account in outlook which just needs to be deleted and re-added to fix.
    Now since then my outlook contacts and apple address book do not speak to each other.
    If I make a new contact on my iphone and sync with my mac it will appear in apple address book.
    If I make a new contact in outlook it will not appear on the iPhone.
    So the phone is communicating and syncing with apple address book but wherever the apple address book goes to find the outlook contacts it must be using one of the older "identities"
    Also now when I am in outlook and go from email to contacts it takes about 20 seconds to open the 5,300 contacts and it used to be instant.
    Is there a way to view where outlook is getting the data? When I go into Outlook Preferences, Sync Services, "On My Computer:" is the one that is chosen so that should be good.
    Any help?
