How to bidirectionally sync Oracle Calendar (SyncML) with Apple's iCal.app

  • 772

I'm administering a number of Macs, whose users would like to be able to make use of iCal.app (and hence iPhone sync) to view and edit Oracle Calendar events.

Is there a good way to bidirectionally interface Oracle Calendar's SyncML with iCal.app?

Or alternatively is there a way to bridge a SyncML server to provide CalDAV service (which iCal.app can natively handle)?

  1. Try this:

    or this:

    While we're an exchange shop here (ughh) this looks like it should work on macs running leopard, and should sync an oracle calendar.

    Good luck!

  2. Almost all of the solutions that I've seen that have somehow syncronised an iPhone with a SyncML source have involved installing a SyncML client on the iPhone. Obviously, this has limitations, but apart from one solution where a server-based perl script converted the data into an iCal format, everything else has used an iPhone app of some sort.

  3. Have you seen Funambol ? It might work as a data gateway between everything.
