Converting exported Oracle Calendar data

Before it can be imported into Zimbra Calendar, the exported Oracle Calendar data file must be converted into a Zimbra friendly format using the online conversion tool. The conversion process will:

  • remove Oracle specific information not used in Zimbra Calendar.
  • change appointments from Private to Public.
  • converting repeating meetings to individual meetings.

Note: Importing unconverted files into Zimbra Calendar can trigger a parsing error.
