This text explains the usage of the SyncEvolution command line.
65
SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data
66
such as contacts, appointments, tasks and memos using the Synthesis
67
sync engine, which provides support for the SyncML synchronization
70
SyncEvolution synchronizes with SyncML servers over HTTP and with
71
SyncML capable phones locally over Bluetooth (new in 1.0). Plugins
72
provide access to the data which is to be synchronized. Binaries are
73
available for Linux desktops (synchronizing data in GNOME Evolution,
74
with KDE supported indirectly already and Akonadi support in
75
development), for MeeGo (formerly Moblin) and for Maemo 5/Nokia
76
N900. The source code can be compiled for Unix-like systems and
77
provides a framework to build custom SyncML clients or servers.
82
The <config> and the <source> strings are used to find the
83
configuration files which determine how synchronization is going to
84
proceed. Each source corresponds to one local address book, calendar,
85
task list or set of memos and the corresponding database on the
86
peer. Depending on which parameters are given, different operations
89
Starting with SyncEvolution 1.0, <config> strings can have different
90
meanings. Typically, a simple string like `scheduleworld` refers to
91
the configuration for that peer, as it did in previous releases. A
92
peer is either a SyncML server (the traditional usage of
93
SyncEvolution) or a client (the new feature in 1.0).
95
Each peer configuration exists inside a specific context, typically
96
the `@default` context. All peers in the same context share some parts
97
of their configuration, for example, which local databases are to be
98
synchronized. In that sense, a configuration context can be seen as a
99
set of local databases plus the peer configurations that are
100
synchronized against those databases.
102
The peer-independent properties of a source can be configured by
103
giving the context name as <config> parameter ("@default
104
addressbook"). Operations manipulating the local data also accept
107
When different peers are meant to synchronize different local
108
databases, then different contexts have to be used when setting up the
109
peers by appending a context name after the `at` sign, as in
110
`scheduleworld2@other-context`. Later on, if `scheduleworld2` is
111
unique, the `@other-context` suffix becomes optional.
113
Sometimes it is also useful to change configuration options of a
114
context, without modifying a specific peer. This can be done by using
115
`@default` (or some other context name) without anything before the
116
`at` sign. The empty string "" is the same as `@default`. ::
120
If no arguments are given, then SyncEvolution will list all available
121
data sources regardless whether there is a configuration file for them
122
or not. The output includes the identifiers which can then be used to
123
select those sources in a configuration file. For each source one can
124
set a different synchronization mode in its configuration file. ::
126
syncevolution <config>
128
Without the optional list of sources, all sources which are enabled in
129
their configuration file are synchronized. ::
131
syncevolution <config> <source> ...
133
Otherwise only the ones mentioned on the command line are active. It
134
is possible to configure sources without activating their
135
synchronization: if the synchronization mode of a source is set to
136
`disabled`, the source will be ignored. Explicitly listing such a
137
source will synchronize it in `two-way` mode once.
139
In SyncEvolution's predefined configuration templates, the following
140
names for sources are used. Different names can be chosen for sources
141
that are defined manually. ::
143
* addressbook: a list of contacts
144
* calendar: calendar *events*
145
* memo: plain text notes
147
* calendar+todo: a virtual source combining one local "calendar" and
148
one "todo" source (required for synchronizing with some phones)
150
Progress and error messages are written into a log file that is
151
preserved for each synchronization run. Details about that is found in
152
the `Automatic Backups and Logging` section below. All errors and
153
warnings are printed directly to the console in addition to writing
154
them into the log file. Before quitting SyncEvolution will print a
155
summary of how the local data was modified. This is done with the
156
`synccompare` utility script described in the `Exchanging Data`
159
When the `logdir` option is enabled (since v0.9 done by default for
160
new configurations), then the same comparison is also done before the
161
synchronization starts.
163
In case of a severe error the synchronization run is aborted
164
prematurely and SyncEvolution will return a non-zero value. Recovery
165
from failed synchronization is done by forcing a full synchronization
166
during the next run, i.e. by sending all items and letting the SyncML
167
server compare against the ones it already knows. This is avoided
168
whenever possible because matching items during a slow synchronization
169
can lead to duplicate entries.
171
After a successful synchronization the server's configuration file is
172
updated so that the next run can be done incrementally. If the
173
configuration file has to be recreated e.g. because it was lost, the
174
next run recovers from that by doing a full synchronization. The risk
175
associated with this is that the server might not recognize items that
176
it already has stored previously which then would lead to duplication
179
syncevolution --configure <options for configuration> <config> [<source> ...]
181
Options in the configuration can be modified via the command
182
line. Source properties are changed for all sources unless sources are
183
listed explicitly. Some source properties have to be different for
184
each source, in which case syncevolution must be called multiple times
185
with one source listed in each invocation. ::
187
syncevolution --remove <config>
189
Deletes the configuration. If the <config> refers to a specific
190
peer, only that peer's configuration is removed. If it refers to
191
a context, that context and all peers inside it are removed.
193
Note that there is no confirmation question. Neither local data
194
referenced by the configuration nor the content of log dirs are
197
syncevolution --run <options for run> <config> [<source> ...]
199
Options can also be overridden for just the current run, without
200
changing the configuration. In order to prevent accidentally running a
201
sync session when a configuration change was intended, either
202
--configure or --run must be given explicitly if options are specified
203
on the command line. ::
205
syncevolution --status <config> [<source> ...]
207
Prints what changes were made locally since the last synchronization.
208
Depends on access to database dumps from the last run, so using the
209
`logdir` option is recommended. ::
211
syncevolution --print-servers|--print-configs|--print-peers
212
syncevolution --print-config [--quiet] <config> [main|<source> ...]
213
syncevolution --print-sessions [--quiet] <config>
215
These commands print information about existing configurations. When
216
printing a configuration a short version without comments can be
217
selected with --quiet. When sources are listed, only their
218
configuration is shown. `Main` instead or in combination with sources
219
lists only the main peer configuration. ::
221
syncevolution --restore <session directory> --before|--after
222
[--dry-run] <config> <source> ...
224
This restores local data from the backups made before or after a
225
synchronization session. The --print-sessions command can be used to
226
find these backups. The source(s) have to be listed explicitly. There
227
is intentionally no default, because as with --remove there is no
228
confirmation question. With --dry-run, the restore is only simulated.
230
The session directory has to be specified explicitly with its path
231
name (absolute or relative to current directory). It does not have to
232
be one of the currently active log directories, as long as it contains
233
the right database dumps for the selected sources.
235
A restore tries to minimize the number of item changes (see section
236
`Item Changes and Data Changes`_). This means that items that are
237
identical before and after the change will not be transmitted anew to
238
the server during the next synchronization. If the server somehow
239
needs to get a clean copy of all items on the client then, use "--sync
240
refresh-from-client" in the next run. ::
242
syncevolution --print-items <config> <source>
243
syncevolution [--delimiter <string>] --export <dir>|<file>|- <config> <source> [<luid> ...]
244
syncevolution [--delimiter <string>|none] --import <dir>|<file>|- <config> <source>
245
syncevolution --update <dir> <config> <source>
246
syncevolution [--delimiter <string>|none] --update <file>|- <config> <source> <luid> ...
247
syncevolution --delete-items <config> <source> (<luid> ... | *)
249
Restore depends on the specific format of the automatic backups
250
created by SyncEvolution. Arbitrary access to item data is provided
251
with additional options. <luid> here is the unique local identifier
252
assigned to each item in the source, transformed so that it contains
253
only alphanumeric characters, dash and underscore. A star * in
254
--delete-items selects all items for deletion.
256
<config> and <source> must be given, but they do not have to refer to
257
existing configurations. In that case, the desired backend and must be
258
give via "--source-property type=<backend>", like this::
260
syncevolution --print-items --source-property type=evolution-contacts dummy-config dummy-source
262
The desired backend database can be chosen via "--source-property
268
Here is a full description of all <options> that can be put in front
269
of the server name. Whenever an option accepts multiple values, a
270
question mark can be used to get the corresponding help text and/or
271
a list of valid values.
274
Temporarily synchronize the active sources in that mode. Useful
275
for a `refresh-from-server` or `refresh-from-client` sync which
276
clears all data at one end and copies all items from the other.
278
--print-servers|--print-configs|--print-peers
279
Prints the names of all configured peers to stdout. There is no
280
difference between these options, the are just aliases.
282
--print-servers|--print-configs|--print-peers|-p
283
Prints the complete configuration for the selected <config>
284
to stdout, including up-to-date comments for all properties. The
285
format is the normal .ini format with source configurations in
286
different sections introduced with [<source>] lines. Can be combined
287
with --sync-property and --source-property to modify the configuration
288
on-the-fly. When one or more sources are listed after the <config>
289
name on the command line, then only the configs of those sources are
290
printed. `main` selects the main configuration instead of source
291
configurations. Using --quiet suppresses the comments for each property.
292
When setting a --template, then the reference configuration for
293
that peer is printed instead of an existing configuration.
296
Prints information about previous synchronization sessions for the
297
selected peer or context are printed. This depends on the `logdir`
298
option. The information includes the log directory name (useful for
299
--restore) and the synchronization report. In combination with
300
--quiet, only the paths are listed.
303
Modify the configuration files for the selected peer and/or sources.
304
If no such configuration exists, then a new one is created using one
305
of the template configurations (see --template option). When
306
creating a new configuration and listing sources explicitly on the
307
command line, only those sources will be set to active in the new
308
configuration, i.e. `syncevolution -c scheduleworld addressbook`
309
followed by `syncevolution scheduleworld` will only synchronize the
310
address book. The other sources are created in a disabled state.
311
When modifying an existing configuration and sources are specified,
312
then the source properties of only those sources are modified.
315
To prevent accidental sync runs when a configuration change was
316
intended, but the `--configure` option was not used, `--run` must be
317
specified explicitly when sync or source properties are selected
318
on the command line and they are meant to be used during a sync
319
session triggered by the invocation.
322
In older SyncEvolution releases a different layout of configuration files
323
was used. Using --migrate will automatically migrate to the new
324
layout and rename the <config> into <config>.old to prevent accidental use
325
of the old configuration. WARNING: old SyncEvolution releases cannot
326
use the new configuration!
328
The switch can also be used to migrate a configuration in the current
329
configuration directory: this preserves all property values, discards
330
obsolete properties and sets all comments exactly as if the configuration
331
had been created from scratch. WARNING: custom comments in the
332
configuration are not preserved.
334
--migrate implies --configure and can be combined with modifying
338
Shows all existing items using one line per item using
339
the format "<luid>[: <short description>]". Whether the description
340
is available depends on the backend and the kind of data that it
344
Writes all items in the source or all items whose <luid> is
345
given into a directory if the --export parameter exists and is a
346
directory. The <luid> of each item is used as file name. Otherwise it
347
creates a new file under that name and writes the selected items
348
separated by the chosen delimiter string. stdout can be selected with
351
The default delimiter (two line breaks) matches a blank line. As a special
352
case, it also matches a blank line with DOS line ending (line break,
353
carriage return, line break). This works for vCard 3.0 and iCalendar 2.0,
354
which never contain blank lines.
356
When exporting, the default delimiter will always insert two line
357
breaks regardless whether the items contain DOS line ends. As a
358
special case, the initial newline of a delimiter is skipped if the
359
item already ends in a newline.
362
Adds all items found in the directory or input file to the
363
source. When reading from a directory, each file is treated as one
364
item. Otherwise the input is split at the chosen delimiter. "none" as
365
delimiter disables splitting of the input.
368
Overwrites the content of existing items. When updating from a
369
directory, the name of each file is taken as its luid. When updating
370
from file or stdin, the number of luids given on the command line
371
must match with the number of items in the input.
374
Removes the specified items from the source. Most backends print
375
some progress information about this, but besides that, no further
376
output is produced. Trying to remove an item which does not exist
377
typically leads to an ERROR message, but is not reflected in a
378
non-zero result of the command line invocation itself because the
379
situation is not reported as an error by backends (removal of
380
non-existent items is not an error in SyncML). Use a star \* instead
381
or in addition to listing individual luids to delete all items.
383
--sync-property|-y <property>=<value>|<property>=?|?
384
Overrides a source-independent configuration property for the
385
current synchronization run or permanently when --configure is used
386
to update the configuration. Can be used multiple times. Specifying
387
an unused property will trigger an error message.
389
When using the configuration layout introduced with 1.0, some of the
390
sync properties are shared between peers, for example the directory
391
where sessions are logged. Permanently changing such a shared
392
property for one peer will automatically update the property for all
393
other peers in the same context because the property is stored in a
394
shared config file. When printing a config in verbose mode, a summary
395
comment shows which properties are shared in which way.
397
--source-property|-z <property>=<value>|<property>=?|?
398
Same as --sync-property, but applies to the configuration of all active
399
sources. `--sync <mode>` is a shortcut for `--source-property sync=<mode>`.
401
When combined with `--configure`, the configuration of all sources
402
is modified. The value is applied to all sources unless sources are
403
listed explicitly on the command line. So if you want to change a
404
source property of just one specific sync source, then use
405
`--configure --source-property ... <server> <source>`.
407
As with sync properties, some properties are shared between peers,
408
in particular the selection of which local data to synchronize.
410
--template|-l <peer name>|default|?<device>
411
Can be used to select from one of the built-in default configurations
412
for known SyncML peers. Defaults to the <config> name, so --template
413
only has to be specified when creating multiple different configurations
414
for the same peer, or when using a template that is named differently
415
than the peer. `default` is an alias for `scheduleworld` and can be
416
used as the starting point for servers which do not have a built-in
419
A pseudo-random device ID is generated automatically. Therefore setting
420
the `deviceId` sync property is only necessary when manually recreating a
421
configuration or when a more descriptive name is desired.
423
The available templates for different known SyncML servers are listed when
424
using a single question mark instead of template name. When using the
425
`?<device>` format, a fuzzy search for a template that might be
426
suitable for talking to such a device is done. The matching works best
427
when using `<device> = <Manufacturer> <Model>`. If you don't know the
428
manufacturer, you can just keep it as empty. The output in this mode
429
gives the template name followed by a short description and a rating how well
430
the template matches the device (100% is best).
433
The changes made to local data since the last synchronization are
434
shown without starting a new one. This can be used to see in advance
435
whether the local data needs to be synchronized with the server.
438
Suppresses most of the normal output during a synchronization. The
439
log file still contains all the information.
442
Save or retrieve passwords from the GNOME keyring when modifying the
443
configuration or running a synchronization. Note that using this option
444
applies to *all* passwords in a configuration, so setting a single
445
password as follows moves the other passwords into the keyring, if
446
they were not stored there already::
448
--keyring --configure --sync-property proxyPassword=foo
450
When passwords were stored in the keyring, their value is set to a single
451
hyphen ("-") in the configuration. This means that when running a
452
synchronization without the --keyring argument, the password has to be
453
entered interactively. The --print-config output always shows "-" instead
454
of retrieving the password from the keyring.
457
By default, the SyncEvolution command line is executed inside the
458
syncevo-dbus-server process. This ensures that synchronization sessions
459
started by the command line do not conflict with sessions started
460
via some other means (GUI, automatically). For debugging purposes
461
or very special use cases (running a local sync against a server which
462
executes inside the daemon) it is possible to execute the operation
463
without the daemon (--daemon=no).
466
Prints usage information.
469
Prints the SyncEvolution version.
474
List the known configuration templates::
476
syncevolution --template ?
478
Create a new configuration, using the existing ScheduleWorld template::
480
syncevolution --configure \
481
--sync-property "username=123456" \
482
--sync-property "password=!@#ABcd1234" \
485
Note that putting passwords into the command line, even for
486
short-lived processes as the one above, is a security risk in shared
487
environments, because the password is visible to everyone on the
488
machine. To avoid this, remove the password from the command above,
489
then add the password to the right config.ini file with a text editor.
490
This command shows the directory containing the file::
492
syncevolution --print-configs
494
Review configuration::
496
syncevolution --print-config scheduleworld
498
Synchronize all sources::
500
syncevolution scheduleworld
502
Deactivate all sources::
504

508
Activate address book synchronization again, using the --sync shortcut::
510
syncevolution --configure \
512
scheduleworld addressbook
514
Change the password for a configuration::
516
syncevolution --configure \
517
--sync-property password=foo \
520
Set up another configuration for under a different account, using
521
the same default databases as above::
523
syncevolution --configure \
524
--sync-property username=joe \
525
--sync-property password=foo \
526
--template scheduleworld \
529
Set up another configuration using the same account, but different
530
local databases (can be used to simulate synchronizing between two
531
clients, see `Exchanging Data`_::
533
syncevolution --configure \
534
--sync-property "username=123456" \
535
--sync-property "password=!@#ABcd1234" \
536
--source-property sync=none \
539
syncevolution --configure \
540
--source-property evolutionsource=<name of other address book> \
543
syncevolution --configure \
544
--source-property sync=two-way \
545
scheduleworld@other addressbook
547
syncevolution scheduleworld
548
syncevolution scheduleworld@other
550
Migrate a configuration from the <= 0.7 format to the current one
551
and/or updates the configuration so that it looks like configurations
552
created anew with the current syncevolution::
554
syncevolution --migrate scheduleworld
563
SyncEvolution transmits address book entries as vCard 2.1 or 3.0
564
depending on the type chosen in the configuration. Evolution uses
565
3.0 internally, so SyncEvolution converts between the two formats as
566
needed. Calendar items and tasks can be sent and received in iCalendar
567
2.0 as well as vCalendar 1.0, but vCalendar 1.0 should be avoided if
568
possible because it cannot represent all data that Evolution stores.
570
.. note:: The Evolution backends are mentioned as examples;
571
the same applies to other data sources.
573
How the server stores the items depends on its implementation and
574
configuration. In the default Funambol server installation, contacts
575
and calendar items are converted into an internal format, but at
576
least for contacts it preserves most of the properties used by
577
Evolution whereas iCalendar 2.0 items are not preserved properly
578
up to and including Funambol 8.0. ScheduleWorld uses the same format
579
as Evolution for calendars and tasks and thus requires no conversion.
581
To check which data is preserved, one can use this procedure
582
(described for contacts, but works the same way for calendars and
585
1. synchronize the address book with the server
586
2. create a new address book in Evolution and view it in Evolution
587
once (the second step is necessary in at least Evolution 2.0.4
588
to make the new address book usable in SyncEvolution)
589
3. add a configuration for that second address book and the
590
same URI on the SyncML server, see EXAMPLES_ above
591
4. synchronize again, this time using the other data source
593
Now one can either compare the address books in Evolution or do that
594
automatically, described here for contacts:
596
- save the complete address books: mark all entries, save as vCard
597
- invoke `synccompare` with two file names as arguments and it will
598
normalize and compare them automatically
600
Normalizing is necessary because the order of cards and their
601
properties as well as other minor formatting aspects may be
602
different. The output comes from a side-by-side comparison, but
603
is augmented by the script so that the context of each change
604
is always the complete item that was modified. Lines or items
605
following a ">" on the right side were added, those on the
606
left side followed by a "<" were removed, and those with
607
a "|" between text on the left and right side were modified.
609
The automatic unit testing (see HACKING) contains a `testItems`
610
test which verifies the copying of special entries using the
613
Modifying one of the address books or even both at the same time and
614
then synchronizing back and forth can be used to verify that
615
SyncEvolution works as expected. If you do not trust SyncEvolution or
616
the server, then it is prudent to run these checks with a copy of the
617
original address book. Make a backup of the .evolution/addressbook
620
Item Changes and Data Changes
621
-----------------------------
623
SyncML clients and servers consider each entry in a database as one
624
item. Items can be added, removed or updated. This is the item change
625
information that client and server exchange during a normal,
626
incremental synchronization.
628
If an item is saved, removed locally, and reimported, then this is
629
usually reported to a peer as "one item removed, one added" because
630
the information available to SyncEvolution is not sufficient to
631
determine that this is in fact the same item. One exception are
632
iCalendar 2.0 items with their globally unique ID: the modification
633
above will be reported to the server as "one item updated".
635
That is better, but still not quite correct because the content of the
636
item has not changed, only the meta information about it which is used
637
to detect changes. This cannot be avoided without creating additional
638
overhead for normal synchronizations.
640
SyncEvolution reports *item changes* (the number of added, removed and
641
updated items) as well as *data changes*. These data changes are
642
calculated by comparing database dumps using the `synccompare` tool.
643
Because this data comparison ignores information about which data
644
belongs to which item, it is able to detect that re-adding an item
645
that was removed earlier does not change the data, in contrast to the
646
item changes. On the other hand, removing one item and adding a
647
different one may look like updating just one item.
649
Automatic Backups and Logging
650
-----------------------------
652
To support recovery from a synchronization which damaged the
653
local data or modified it in an unexpected way, SyncEvolution
654
can create the following files during a synchronization:
656
- a dump of the data in a format which can be restored by
657
SyncEvolution, usually a single file per item containing
658
in a standard text format (VCARD/VCALENDAR)
659
- a full log file with debug information
660
- another dump of the data after the synchronization for
661
automatic comparison of the before/after state with
664
If the server configuration option "logdir" is set, then
665
a new directory will be created for each synchronization
666
in that directory, using the format `<peer>-<yyyy>-<mm>-<dd>-<hh>-<mm>[-<seq>]`
667
with the various fields filled in with the time when the
668
synchronization started. The sequence suffix will only be
669
used when necessary to make the name unique. By default,
670
SyncEvolution will never delete any data in that log
671
directory unless explicitly asked to keep only a limited
672
number of previous log directories.
674
This is done by setting the "maxlogdirs" limit to something
675
different than the empty string and 0. If a limit is set,
676
then SyncEvolution will only keep that many log directories
677
and start removing the "less interesting" ones when it reaches
678
the limit. Less interesting are those where no data changed
679
and no error occurred.
681
To avoid writing any additional log file or database dumps during
682
a synchronization, the "logdir" can be set to "none". To reduce
683
the verbosity of the log, set "loglevel". If not set or 0, then
684
the verbosity is set to 3 = DEBUG when writing to a log file and
685
2 = INFO when writing to the console directly. To debug issues
686
involving data conversion, level 4 also dumps the content of
692
The following environment variables control where SyncEvolution finds
693
files and other aspects of its operations.
696
Overrides the proxy settings temporarily. Setting it to an empty value
697
disables the normal proxy settings.
699
HOME/XDG_CACHE_HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME
700
SyncEvolution follows the XDG_ desktop standard for its files. By default,
701
`$HOME/.config/syncevolution` is the location for configuration files.
702
`$HOME/.cache/syncevolution` holds session directories with log files and
705
.. _XDG: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
708
Setting this to any value disables the filtering of stdout and stderr
709
that SyncEvolution employs to keep noise from system libraries out
710
of the command line output.
712
SYNCEVOLUTION_GNUTLS_DEBUG
713
Enables additional debugging output when using the libsoup HTTP transport library.
715
SYNCEVOLUTION_BACKEND_DIR
716
Overrides the default path to plugins, normally `/usr/lib/syncevolution/backends`.
718
SYNCEVOLUTION_TEMPLATE_DIR
719
Overrides the default path to template files, normally
720
`/usr/share/syncevolution/templates`.
722
SYNCEVOLUTION_XML_CONFIG_DIR
723
Overrides the default path to the Synthesis XML configuration files, normally
724
`/usr/share/syncevolution/xml`. These files are merged into one configuration
725
each time the Synthesis SyncML engine is started as part of a sync session.
727
Note that in addition to this directory, SyncEvolution also always
728
searches for configuration files inside `$HOME/.config/syncevolution-xml`.
729
Files with the same relative path and name as in `/usr/share/syncevolution/xml`
730
override those files, others extend the final configuration.
