Correcting calendar synchronization errors
on devices
If you run corrective calendar synchronization on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance, you can find and correct
differences between the calendar entries on BlackBerry devices and the calendar entries on users' computers. You can
specify a recurring day and time when the process can run and specific days when the process should check for calendar
synchronization errors.
You configure corrective calendar synchronization using the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool, which is located in the Tools
folder of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation files.
If corrective calendar synchronization finds differences between the calendar entries on a device and the calendar entries
on a computer, the process writes information about the differences to the BlackBerry Messaging Agent log file and,
optionally, automatically corrects the calendar synchronization errors that it finds.
It is a best practice to schedule corrective calendar synchronization to occur during low-use periods. For example, you can
schedule the process to begin in the early evening, before devices are scheduled to turn off automatically.
Configuration levels using the BlackBerry Enterprise
Trait Tool
You can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool to specify whether corrective calendar synchronization checks calendar
entries for a specific user, users on a specific BlackBerry Enterprise Server, or all users. The tool uses a hierarchy to
determine what calendar entries to check. Settings at the user level override settings at the server level, settings at the
server level override settings at the global level, and settings at the global level override the default settings.
