Intellisync and Groupwise address book 1

[jpp]

Greetings.

Using Intellisync desktop 5.3 and gw 6.5.4.
want to sync address books.

very frustrating..

it takes forever.....

besides the known issue where the palm "unfiled" category becomes a new address book in groupwise.

and then there are the hundreds of entries under the "unfiled" groupwise address book that display as "unnamed"

So, anyone have any suggestions or magic answers to above that would save my sanity.
a great big thank you in advance....

Are you married to Intellisync? Try PDAconnect and see if you like that better. As for the Intellisync issue, have you tried updating your GW client to 6.5sp5. Try that it may help.

Thanks for responding Brichr.

If I use PDAConnect, how does that hook in as a conduit for Hotsync ?

I hesitate to try sp5 because it is still in beta.

SP5 is no longer beta. It was released Sept 29, 2005. TID2972308.

Thanks.
I had gone to an old link that had it listed still in beta.
I found the right page.

The PDAconnect syncs your mail, contacts, tasks, calendar before then passes the hotsync off to the hotsync manager to do the rest of its tasks.

There are no conduits to manage in HOTsync Manager. All the conduits are manages with the PDAConnect software.

ok, I installed gw 6.5.5

i also tried pdaconnect.

the first problem = it seems to want to do gw "contacts" which is the frequent contact address book.
I just want to do the personal address book.

the second problem = its still very slow.
i have 1700 records, so maybe the amount of records dictates the slowness, but its REALLY slow.

since my machine has relatively fast specs., do you think its a function of how fast the groupwise server is ?

You can configure PDAconnect to a specific address book that it will sync. I recommend creating a smaller address book for your phone. Then I just show my users how to drag only the contacts they want into that address book that will sync with their PDA.

Can't do much about the slowness.
