Overview

You can run the BlackBerry®Calendar Synchronization Tool on a BlackBerry®Enterprise Server

to find and correct differences between the calendar entries on users’ BlackBerry devices and the

calendar entries on users’ computers. You can specify the recurring day and time when the tool

runs, how many days in advance of the current date that the tool checks users’ calendars for

synchronization errors, and whether the tool checks calendar entries for all users, the users on a

specific messaging server, or a specific user.

By default, the tool writes information about calendar synchronization errors to the BlackBerry

Messaging Agent log file. You can configure the tool to correct automatically the calendar

synchronization errors that it finds.

The tool is located in the Tools directory on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation media.

The file name is TraitTool.exe.

Troubleshooting

When the BlackBerry Calendar Synchronization Tool finds differences between the calendar

entries on a user’s computer and the calendar entries on a user’s BlackBerry device, the tool

writes information to the BlackBerry Messaging Agent log file. You can use this information to

troubleshoot calendar synchronization issues.

Known limitations

In certain circumstances, the BlackBerry Calendar Synchronization Tool might not be able to

correct calendar synchronization errors. For example, if a recurring meeting appears in the

calendar on a user’s BlackBerry device but not in the calendar on the user’s computer, the tool

might not delete the recurring meeting from the user’s BlackBerry device. Research In Motion is

currently investigating other circumstances.
