I'm in the process of converting and migrating user data from our Oracle Calendar system, and one of the things we'll need to convert are To-Do lists (i.e., tasks.) I'm having trouble pushing the task ICS files into zimbra via the REST interface as the admin user. Using the individual user credentials seems to work, but is impractical for large-scale migrations (550+ users).
I'm using the following command to push the data to Zimbra:
curl -u admin@mydomain.tld --data-binary @username_tasklist.ics '
This">https://zimbraserver.mydomain.tld/servi ... ks?fmt=ics'
This is taken from the User Migration page on the Zimbra Wiki.
It works fine if I use the user's credentials, but admin gets a HTTP 403.
It works fine for pushing actual calendars, like:
curl -u admin@mydomain.tld --data-binary @username_calendar.ics '
Have">https://zimbraserver.mydomain.tld/servi ... ar?fmt=ics'
Have I run into a bug?
The error message returned to me is:
[QUOTE]HTTP ERROR: 403
permission denied: you do not have sufficient permissions
RequestURI=/service/home/gruizade/tasks

I couldn't find anything relevant in the logs (/opt/zimbra/log), but I'm not sure what I should be looking for...

It's probably easier to use "zmmailbox postRestURL". Also, are you running the icalmig utility on the exports from OCS?
zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com pru /some-tasks-folder user-export.ics
zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com pru /some-tasks-folder user-export.ics

Actually, I hadn't known about icalmig. Where is this documented? The User Migration notes on the Zimbra Wiki never mentioned it.
For the most part, we've been able to simply upload ical files via the REST URLs with curl (or similar).

Hi Gregory !
I am in the same process than you 3 years ago.
My trouble is not with Zimbra (importing with zmmailbox rune fine and i don't believe that icalmig is really needed for tasks as usually there are not repetitive) but with Oracle Calendar Suite.
Except by writing a program using the SDK or asking each user to export his tasks, i have not found any easy way to retieve the tasks opf each user.
Have you any information about this topic ?
If you have written such an export tool, would you like to share it with me ?
Strangely, the OCS CLI "uniical" odes not export VTODO (tasks), only EVENTS.
Thanks in advance
Bertrand

Another question about the almost same trouble : how a zimbra user can import his/hers tasks by himself ?
The "import" page in the preferences tab of the web interface does not import tasks ! Only calendar events.
Have I missed a point ?
Thanks for any reply.

THE "IMPORT" PAGE IN THE PREFERENCES TAB OF THE WEB INTERFACE DOES NOT IMPORT TASKS ![/QUOTE]OH YES IT DOES. BROWSE TO THE FILE YOU WISH TO IMPORT, SELECT IT AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE ADVANCED CHECKBOX AND WHEN YOU CLICK ON IT YOU'LL SEE THE OPTION TO IMPORT TASKS.

DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. ISN'T THAT JUST FOR EXPORTING? DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF FILES ARE ABLE TO BE IMPORTED TO TASKS PLEASE?

[quote user="rienne"]Do you know what kind of files are able to be imported to tasks please?[/QUOTE]This would be a .tzg file that you've exported from a Zimbra user.

Also the file I have to import is not a Zimbra file. It is either csv or from Outlook. Do you have any ideas please, many thanks

The Import/Export function is to allow the user to backup and restore their own data and not import other formats. If you think that's something that should be added then you need to file an RFE in Bugzilla Main Page - Zimbra.
