Re: [PilotMgr] How to savely change range in SyncCM

[Stacey Marshall <stacey.marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christian,

I do believe that SyncCM will cope with this.  It depends what you mean by 
"screw up".  As you wish to change the start date  I assume you want SyncCM to 
remove appointments from the Pilot before that date.

I recently changed my dates from -06/00/01, +06/00/01 to -06/00/00,
+06/00/01.  Which incidently you might want to do instead of using
fixed dates.  SyncCM then asks during the next sync:

	    PilotMgr::askUser("Your Desktop calendar shrunk " .
			      "significantly since your last sync (" .
			      "perhaps you changed the date range or " .
			      "switched calendars)\n" .
			      "If you continue, appoints may be deleted " .
			      "from your Pilot Datebook " .
			      "so that they are in sync.  Is " .
			      "this what you want?\n", 
			      "Yes", "No", "What can I do?");

But, if your concerned for your data then insure that the Backup conduit is the 
first to run and that it is backing up datebookDB (and datebk3DB if using 
datebook 3).
