[Macpartners] Calendar migration from Outlook to TechTime

[Helen Rose]

I have to migrate a pile of users from Outlook to TechTime. I've got  
a tool called "O2M" (Outlook2Mail) which can export from Outlook and  
creates (what seems to be!) a valid VCS file, which should be  
importable into Oracle Calendar. However, when I run the import on  
Oracle Calendar (on either Mac or Windows [*]), I get a "no valid  
entries" error message.

I tried to import the same VCS file into iCal (on the Mac) and  
received a similar message. Likewise the same for Palm Desktop. My  
only guess is that O2M is generating some sort of non-standard VCS  
format, but it LOOKS acceptable. And of course MS Outlook won't  
output to a friendly (easily exchangeable - forgive the pun!) format.

Has anyone successfully moved data this way, or any other way? Some  
of these users have years and years of calendar data, and I don't  
want them to lose it.

Thanks,

--Helen

[*] Windows users currently on Outlook 2003, eventually moving to  
Macintosh systems. Apple Mail for mail, Oracle Calendar (TechTime) v  
10.1.2.0.0.710 for calendar. The mail migration was SLOW but  
successful. Contact information (into Address Book) went much faster.
