Programatically dump public contact folder to CSV?

Postby mdarby » Tue May 16, 2006 11:10 am

Subject says it all. My boss wants to be able to sync our intranet contact database with Scalix.

Any thoughts?

Well our contact database is home brewed. I just need to dump contacts out to a standard CSV file. From there I can import using some python scripts to parse the CSV.

Hello,

a couple of pointer:

1) Have a look at our omloadfile script in the admin resource kit directory, it is capable of importing CSV files

2) Sync4j is a great open source project specialised on data synchronisation. Off the bat, you can sync with various datasources.

Cheers,

Sascha.

Could you tell me where public folder data is stored in /var/opt/scalix?
