How to copy the CDE calendar?

[Ruediger Steudte_1]

I have got a new HP-C3700 Workstation running with HPUX11i. I have to transfer my home directory to the new workstation. Which file do I have to copy to keep the data of my existing CDE calendar?

Rather than answering your question directly, I'll direct you to the man page. Man dtcm and look under the FILES section. Hint: Look under /var/spool/calendar.

Could you check if this file exists ?

/var/spool/calendar/callog.userid

Thank you for your fast assistance.
The file â /var/spool/calendar/callog.useridâ exists, and I will copy this file to the new workstation.

Mmm just checked you could use dtcm_admin to create an archive ...

the only issue to watch out for with the earlier method is to watchout for the embedded hostname detailsin the users callog.username file

dtcm_archive doesn't work, never did, was never completed, and will never be.

You'll need to edit the callog file for the new user and change all references to the old workstation name to the new one. The same goes for the userid if that has changed.

Best bet is to do something like this sed script (careful with line breaks in ITRC forum display):

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# = 3 ]
then
old_user=$1
new_user=$2
new_system=$3
sed 's/$old_user\@.*"/$new_user\@$new_system"/g' callog.$old_user >| callog.$new_user
else
echo "usage: $0 old_user new_user new_system"
fi
