Instance sync

A few years back one of the road map for opencrx was to have multi instance sync, and off line support  I have recently notice this was no longer in the roadmap, has this feature been implemented or was this being drop?

I maybe mistaken but I seems to also remember someone talk about a sync ML  service for opencrx.

Thanks


Regards,

Hong Yee

Hi Hong Yee:

Offline support has always been available (and still is). Synching
of multiple DB-instances is best done with DB-specific tools. See
http://www.opencrx.org/faq.htm#syncdb
for more information.

Various tests showed that virtually every Sync ML client has its own
interpretation of this "standard" so that developing a Sync ML servlet
that works with a wide range of clients would be very difficult (and
expensive) - in other words: while it is possible to develop a Sync ML
servlet that works with a particular client, the probability that this
same servlet will work with any other Sync ML client is close to 0.

Hence we decided to rely on standards with less room for interpretation:
- ICS/iCalendar
  http://www.opencrx.org/faq.htm#ICSClients

- vCard
  http://www.opencrx.org/opencrx/2.2/Outlook_ICS_VCF_adapter.htm
  http://www.opencrx.org/opencrx/2.4/new.htm#Thunderbird

- etc.

More information about openCRX groupware features is available in
the Admin Guide:
http://www.opencrx.org/opencrx/2.3/admin/openCRX_admin.html

If you are interested in developing your own Sync ML functionality
please contact me again.

Regards,
Chris
