Detailed Description

Syncs remote and local collections.

Basic terminology:

• "local": The current state in the Akonadi server
• "remote": The state in the backend, which is also the state the Akonadi server is supposed to have afterwards.

There are three options to influence the way syncing is done:

• Streaming vs. complete delivery: If streaming is enabled remote collections do not need to be delivered in a single batch but can be delivered in multiple chunks. This improves performance but requires an explicit notification when delivery has been completed.
• Incremental vs. non-incremental: In the incremental case only remote changes since the last sync have to be delivered, in the non-incremental mode the full remote state has to be provided. The first is obviously the preferred way, but requires support by the backend.
• Hierarchical vs. global RIDs: The first requires RIDs to be unique per parent collection, the second one requires globally unique RIDs (per resource). Those have different advantages and disadvantages, esp. regarding moving. Which one to chose mostly depends on what the backend provides in this regard.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CollectionSync::CollectionSync ( const QString &  resourceId, QObject *  parent = 0  )

explicit

Creates a new collection synchronzier.

Parameters

resourceId	The identifier of the resource we are syncing.
parent	The parent object.

Definition at line 757 of file collectionsync.cpp.

CollectionSync::~CollectionSync

(

)

Destroys this job.

Definition at line 765 of file collectionsync.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void CollectionSync::doStart ( )

protectedvirtual

This method must be reimplemented in the concrete jobs.

It will be called after the job has been started and a connection to the Akonadi backend has been established.

Implements Akonadi::Job.

Definition at line 798 of file collectionsync.cpp.

void CollectionSync::retrievalDone

(

)

Indicate that all collections have been retrieved in streaming mode.

Definition at line 816 of file collectionsync.cpp.

void CollectionSync::rollback

(

)

Do a rollback operation if needed.

In read only cases this is a noop.

Definition at line 827 of file collectionsync.cpp.

void CollectionSync::setHierarchicalRemoteIds

(

bool

hierarchical

)

Indicate whether the resource supplies collections with hierarchical or global remote identifiers.

false by default. Must be called before the first call to setRemoteCollections().

Parameters

hierarchical

true if collection remote IDs are relative to their parents' remote IDs

Definition at line 822 of file collectionsync.cpp.

void CollectionSync::setRemoteCollections

(

const Collection::List &

remoteCollections

)

Sets the result of a full remote collection listing.

Parameters

remoteCollections

A list of collections. Important: All of these need a unique remote identifier and parent remote identifier.

Definition at line 770 of file collectionsync.cpp.

void CollectionSync::setRemoteCollections	(	const Collection::List &	changedCollections,
		const Collection::List &	removedCollections
	)

Sets the result of an incremental remote collection listing.

Parameters

changedCollections	A list of remotely added or changed collections.
removedCollections	A list of remotely deleted collections.

Definition at line 783 of file collectionsync.cpp.

void CollectionSync::setStreamingEnabled

(

bool

streaming

)

Enables streaming, that is not all collections are delivered at once.

Use setRemoteCollections() multiple times when streaming is enabled and call retrievalDone() when all collections have been retrieved. Must be called before the first call to setRemoteCollections().

Parameters

streaming

enables streaming if set as true
