Overview
You can run the BlackBerry
®
Calendar Synchronization Tool on a BlackBerry
®
Enterprise Server
to find and correct differences between the calendar entries on users’ BlackBerry devices and the
calendar entries on users’ computers. You can specify the recurring day and time when the tool
runs, how many days in advance of the current date that the tool checks users’ calendars for
synchronization errors, and whether the tool checks calendar entries for all users, the users on a
specific messaging server, or a specific user.
By default, the tool writes information about calendar synchronization errors to the BlackBerry
Messaging Agent log file. You can configure the tool to correct automatically the calendar
synchronization errors that it finds.
The tool is located in the Tools directory on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation media.
The file name is TraitTool.exe.
