So far I have not ran into any problems, it just works :0)
I have already passed along your website to several of my co-workers, and they love it..

Some general comments

Submitted by Chris Large on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 01:22.

Hi guys,
First off let me say the product seems to do the job quite nicely and with a minimum of fuss. I had tried AWE Sync earlier but with running on 64 bit windows it was a non starter, just tried with the latest beta and things are in much better shape.

So, with all that in mind, this was my first sync with AWE sync. The sync went pretty well but the first sync was quite slow given the platform it was on. I'm running on a quad processor box and the sync operation using notes 8.5.0 took about 20 minutes. The sync was for a server based sync which may have been part of the problem since this goes through a corporate firewall and the server is geographically quite a way from us. In addition my google calendar has I believe 6 separate calendars.

While watching the log of activities during the sync it seems the getting of the calendar data from Notes and the creating of new Notes calendar events were the slowest activities, the google part of the process was pretty fast.

One other small point, I see in your FAQ a note when AWE sync says it cannot find the notes.ini file. I had this same problem but the fix was not the same as described in the FAQ. I found the entry in the registry (again, 64 bit windows) and provided that to AWE sync, it then gave me an error saying it could not copy the file into the same place I just gave it. After that everything worked fine but it was odd.

Let me know if you need any further details.

Chris.

So far everything has worked great, but I do wish that instead of choosing days before and days after to sync that I could choose by calendar date.

Great Program

Ran into issues after repairign IE8 (see testing area)

Version 1.0.1.4 works like a charm

Submitted by derrickkoh70 on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 12:25.

Had a few initial problems with syncing on a version before 1.0.1.4. But now its fine - I even recommended Awesync to a colleague who has downloaded 1.0.1.5 but he is experiencing problems as it is asking him for Notes.ini files, which he is not sure what they are.
After converting Notes ver 7x to Google calendar, I use Google Sync to sync to my iPhone calendar. Works like a charm. Thanks to the Awesync team!

No sync when calendar is not public

Submitted by kanwaldeep on Thu, 01/21/2010 - 22:52.

My google calendar is not public and I intend to keep it that way.
I tried sync and it has no effect on my calendar.
Is this working as designed or this may be a bug?

No, making calendar public is not necessary for sync. Please upload your full log in issues. We'll try to understand the reason.

hi - my first sync

Submitted by staten01 on Wed, 01/20/2010 - 17:57.

Hi,
First of, thanks a lot for this software. I've been looking for something like this for a long time.
I was able to easily complete a sync. The set up was very easy and smooth. However, it seems not all the calendar entries synced up.
Do we know why?
Thanks.

Why calendar entries don't show up in Google...

Submitted by mellertson on Wed, 02/03/2010 - 01:50.

Hi staten01,
I too experienced this and finally figured it out. Awesync has published that repeating calendar entries with an exception will not syncronize. This means if you have a repeating calendar entrie where one instance has been changed it won't sync. They have a more detailed link explaining this on their home page.
But to Awesync, I wanted to say thank you for creating this app. It's a breaze to setup and runs very quickly. I can't wait for the final release version!!

sync jamming up

As in someones prieious post, the initial sync went great and each subsequent attempt gets jammed up. When ug free this will be the preferred app. adding the same ideas for contacts and email would make other similar products unnecessary

Sync goes well

Submitted by massimobe on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 14:37.

Hey all,
I'm too late for the beta testing, anyway I try to give my first impression.
I'm working with this system
Windows 7 (Italian)
Lotus Notes 7.0.3 client (mail template 8.01)
I downloaded AweSync this morinig and I used it. I syncronized my defaual google calendar without adding limit and the first time I sync. more than 500 entries.Second sync without double entries.
Modifiend one entries on the Notes calendar and delated one on the google calendar, sync without any problem.
In Notes I also have invitation to meeting and single day entries, all sync. without any problem.

I'm working without a proxy and in LAN, absolutly necessary a proxy support.
Have a great day to all.

Feature Request: Contact Sync

Submitted by ndipaolo5 on Tue, 12/29/2009 - 21:07.

The calendar sync looks great so far! Managed to get it set up and syncing on the first try which is great! I used the IE proxy settings, when I tried manually entering the proxy settings, it did not retrieve my google calendar.
This is a killer app for potential Android users with corporate Lotus Notes. Would it be possible to add contact sync along with the calendar sync? This would be extremely useful.

Yes: Contact Sync!

Submitted by cthu on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 21:22.

The calendar sync work fine, but the contact sync would be extremely useful.

Worked first time, but not afterwards

Submitted by Leon (not verified) on Fri, 12/11/2009 - 10:23.

App looks great in general. I tried out out and here's the result: first time I ran it, it synced up my notes and google calendars just fine, although it took 20-30 min. My notes calendar is very large, some 20,000 entries, going back 4 years or so. An option to only sync past X months and future X months would be great, since I don't really care about synchronizing calendar for last 4 years and it would cut the time down.
Then I ran it again, but it hangs on any consecutive attempt to synchronize. Here's a screenshot, this is the step on which it's sitting... never comes back and never gives an error (I left it alone for 24 hrs).

Leon, version 1.0.0.9 already contains an option to limit timeframe. Try to use it.

Beta Testing

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 12/08/2009 - 16:01.

This worked liked a treat for me. Managed to complete a 2 way sync in about 10 minutes. Now I can view all my calendar entries on my Iphone calendar! It is the solution I hoped for.
Will consider purchasing this product if it is not offered as freeware.

Fantastic work

Submitted by vgdave on Fri, 11/20/2009 - 03:38.

This is a great product so far, I'll be testing it extensively. Many of our users don't have a Notes client installed -- maybe someday your product be adapted to use a Lotus Notes on the web?
Thank you very much for your work on this.

Hey there Dimitri, Thanks for

Submitted by Robbert (not verified) on Wed, 11/18/2009 - 15:05.

Hey there Dimitri,
Thanks for this magnificent tool. I'm using awesync with the proxy function to sync my lotus notes in the office network with google calendar, which syncs it with my android mobile. Works like a charm. I do have one issue in the betaversion to report. My google calendar repetitive appointments, birthdays to be precise, show up on every past monday. So every monday i have a list of private birthdays, which are actually on another date. I suspect it has something to do with the last possible calendar year in lotus notes and the last possible calendar year in google calendar. I hope it's useful!
