Getting contact and calendar data out of Scalix?

[vpetersson]

Hi,

On behalf of a client, I'm looking for a way to export calendar and contact data out of Scalix (and into Google Apps). I've been searching the web for quite some time now without finding anything useful. Perhaps I'm missing something really fundamenta.

I was able to access the data trough WebDav, but I'm not looking to export every single event by itself.

It seems like the API is the only way to do this (which, by the way, is fine). I tried this API call:
api/john.doe@domain.net/mailbox/Calendar?output=ical

I used to do something similar for integrating Scalix resource calendars with non-Scalix Outlook clients.
The ....mailbox/Calendar?output=ical worked fine with 11.4.3 (I had some scripts that pulled the data from scalix (as a single file for each account) then reposted on an internal web site.)

It should have worked with gmail as well (if the data was posted to a external accessible URL.)

Unfortunately upgrading scalix to 11.4.4 broke this. (11.4.5 did not fix this.)



mailbox/Calendar?output=xml url still works, so the solution is probably to write some scripts to parse and rewrite the data back to ical format.

Well I run Google Calendar Sync to sync my Outlook calendar with Google calendar. Can't help you with the contacts though.
