hi
we noticed that many syncevolution users in myFUNAMBOL database have
events with summary 'unnamed', body 'unnamed', no dtstart and no dtend.
The problem with this kind of events is that they duplicate wildly in
the database.
Since my calendar on myFUNAMBOL also contains two unnamed events, but I
cannot find such events on Evolution. I have tried searching events that
contain 'unnamed' in their body or summary but nothing shows up in
Evolution UI, while they are visbile in the backup directory of
SyncEvolution. This is an example:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Ximian//NONSGML Evolution Calendar//EN
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
CLASS:PUBLIC
PRIORITY:0
SUMMARY:unnamed
DESCRIPTION:unnamed
UID:20091014T160856Z-8778-1000-1-43@biancone
DTSTAMP:20091014T160856Z
CREATED:20091014T160856Z
LAST-MODIFIED:20091014T160856Z
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
The weird thing is that in myFUNAMBOL table there are two events, but in
SyncEvolution backup dirs I find only one. After a slow sync there are 5
unnamed events in the database and 3 in the dir
backup/SyncEvolution-funambol-2009-12-04-09-57/calendar.after
We're investigating further, but we still haven't found a way to
reproduce. Did anybody notice anything like this before?
BTW, is there any way to count the total number of events stored in
Evolution?
cheers,
stef

No, never heard of this before. My recommendation is to enable a high
"maxlogdir" setting and then analyze the logs to figure out where the
events occurred for the first time.
On the other hand, you seem to have a situation where they are produced
already, so the log in backup/SyncEvolution-funambol-2009-12-04-09-57/
should tell you whether it was the client or the server who created the
new events.

The statistics printed by SyncEvolution before and after a sync should
match the number of VEVENTs. You can also identify the calendar.ics file
("syncevolution" with no parameters) and the do a "grep BEGIN:VEVENT |
wc -l".

New subject: [SyncEvolution] Strange empty events in myFUNAMBOL ... and timeouts
Hello Stefano!
Did you find out more about this, perhaps by looking at log files as I
suggested in my email below?
I've checked our nightly testing, looking for similar failures. I only
found quite a number of failures due to timeouts. Like other SyncML
clients, SyncEvolution resends a message if it doesn't get a response
from the SyncML server. Synthesis told us that Nokia phones do that
quite soon, so we picked the same timeout of 1 minute.
This seems to be too short for the Funambol server:
http://runtests.syncevolution.org/2009-12-08-22-00/head-evolution-testing...
http://runtests.syncevolution.org/2009-12-08-22-00/head-evolution-testing...
Is the load on the server really so high that it can't reply to messages
within a minute? This is specific to the Funambol server, others
(ScheduleWorld, Synthesis, ...) don't have this issue. So it's not
related to our network or our proxies.
Furthermore, the server then fails to handle the resent message. Is that
something that the server should be able to cope with? It must,
otherwise it probably also fails with Nokia phones under similar load
conditions.
Bye, Patrick

thanks for these logs. I've forwarded to myFUNAMBOL support team. I'll
let you know when they answer me.
cheers,

still no news. We need a bit of luck to spot one while it happens.

The team has done some investigation and suspect is caused by an issue
with the server that in some occasions can become slow and cause the
timeout.
Furthermore, the server then fails to handle the resent message. Is
that
something that the server should be able to cope with?
Yes, it should. I'm pushing for solving
http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3427 in next Funambol
version. I'll let you know how it proceeds.
