Environment

Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack 1.2.5

Situation

Would like to enable the ability to sync tasks from GroupWise to mobile devices via Data Synchronizer.
Tasks are not supported until they're enable using the Preview feature.

Resolution

This can only be enabled via the Feature Preview setting in Data Synchronizer for Mobility version 1.2.5, build 250 or newer.

Change directories to /opt/novell/datasync, then type ./previewfeature.sh -t -a enable, then hit enter.  Datasync will have to be started/restarted after that command is executed.

Cause

This feature is still in beta and is only available as a preview.

Additional Information

When the tasks get sync'd to the device, at least on iOS devices, the tasks will show up under the Reminder application.  The Reminder app is iOS default app.
