Syncing Scheduleworld with Google Calendar works - but only one way
August 10th, 2006
After a failure earlier on, I tried syncing Scheduleworld and Google Calendar yesterday and it finally worked. I was hoping (naive - yes) that this could as a middleman providing Google Calendar with the needed Syncml compatibility. In reality I could only make this work one way, exporting from Google Calendar (why they needed my pasword and username I don’t know), and in order to make the synchronization start I had to log in to Scheduleworld and request it.
All in all progress but I don’t really know what to use the one way sync for - unless I’m migrating completely!

[...] I claimed earlier, that Calendar synchronization between Google Calendar and Scheduleworld only works one way. But yesterday I read in \Engtechs very nice guide to synchronization that it works two-ways, consequences were: I had to try again. At first my results were the same as reported earlier, none of the appointments I had in Scheduleworld would appear in Google Calendar. This however changed when I made a completely new appointment in Scheduleworld which appeared in Google Calendar after a sync. The entire problem was solved by adding a hyphen to all my appointments – and suddenly they all appeared in Google Calendar. This goes to show two points. First of all, that two-synchronization actually works between the two, making it possible to use Scheduleworld as a middleman for synchronization between Google Calendar and any SynML compatible device, like a cell phone. Second, that this service (in beta) has some weaknesses at the present, making it possible for some appointments to be left out. [...]

[...] Update 2: Wie bei Tech-Tag zu lesen, funktioniert die sheduleworld Synchronisation mit Google Calender mittlerweile. Allerdings nur one-way, also von Gcal nach sheduleworld. Also (noch) unsinnig. [...]
