Q: What is the way to migrate calendar manually on server 10
I am migrating from Server 2.2.5, OS X 10.8.5 to Server 5.0.15 for OS X 10.11.3.
I followed the migration guidelines, by moving the server to a new box using the Time Machine backup. As the Mail, Calendar and Contact data are on an external hard drive, I used rsync to create a copy. ( With the calendar and contacts server turned off).
When I migrated Server all servers when well, but the certificates, and Calendar and Contact server. I got Calendar to run (serveradmin status calendar ), but when I do
sudo /Applications/Server.app/contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/calendarserver_diagnose
It show that there are no events.
Does somebody have an idea how to migrate this data manually? I can do a mysql dump, load it on the new server. But how do I run the migration scripts for Calendar and contacts? I suspect that the table structure is different.
Alternatively (in desperation): if I have the users export their calendars (Calendar app Export > Export Calendar), and they import these on the migrated server, would their meeting invitees get hundreds of notifications for past meetings?
Please advice
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Server
