Coniguration options

Synchronization action:
  • Synchronize the data
    Synchronizes all data in fully bi-directional way.
  • Slow Sync
    If this checkbox checked all records will be transferred from Palm to Notes then Notes to Palm. Otherwise only the modified records will be synchonized from both side. This is very fast synchronization.
  • Notes to Palm
    One way synchronization. The records will be transferred from Notes to Palm only, overwriting the existing records in Palm.
  • Palm to Notes
    One way synchronization. The records will be transferred from Palm to Notes only, overwriting the existing records in Notes.
  • Do nothing
    Does nothing, simply skip this application from synchronization

Notes database to use

When the Use default checkbox is checked the default database will be used for the application. Otherwise specifiy the Server name and the database location to use. If you leave the Server name blank, local database will be used.
The default databases:

Address

local Address book (i.e. NAMES.NSF)

Calendar

local mail file based on the current location document in Notes.

ToDo

local mail file based on the current location document in Notes.

Journal

JOURNAL.NSF for Journal.

Mail

local mail file based on the current location document in Notes.


Address specific options

Palm Address fields and Palm Custom fields
By pressing the Change... button, you can select which address fields you want to use (Business or Home). Because Business address fields are only exist in 4.6 and R5 version of Address book design, I strongly suggest you to use the Home address fields with Notes 4.5.x. Of course, this is the default.


Calendar specific options

You can filter the entries from Notes to be included in synchronization by selecting a Begin date and an End date filter.


Todo specific options

Show ToDo in Calendar
When this checkbox is checked, the new ToDo records transferred from Palm to Notes will appear in the Calendar view of Notes.


Mail specific options

See the separate documentation about Mail synchronization here.


Tips

  • The application writes into the ManplatoSync's Synchronization log, you can find several messages after synchronization in this file. If you want more detailed messages, or if you have any problem with synchronization, set the lnconduit.debug Java property to true. For example, insert the -Dlnconduit.debug=true into the ManplatoSync startup line. 
  • Under Windows platforms, I strongly suggest you to check the Lotus Notes Share password with Notes add-ins option on the Tools->User ID...->Basics page and keep Notes running while you synchronize. Without this option checked, the conduit asks for the password for your UserID, if the password is required. This password prompt appears in a console window, not in a GUI windows. I don't know why this happens under Windows, but as my research showed there is a problem in the Notes C++ API around handling the password prompt.
