Awesome!!! This was what I was looking for :).

One last query. So , in versions prior to calendarserver 5.x, the guid 
used to be automatically generated for XML records which did not have 
guid. But since 5.x, this auto-generation is removed and as I 
understand, users are supposed to explicitly mention the guid. So, if 
they want to have access to the migrated data, they should know what 
auto-generated guid was being used earlier. I have written a script 
which will tell them this if they give the realm, recordType and uid. 
However, I am wondering if there is already a solution for this provided 
out-of-the-box or a more elegant way of doing it.

Thanks a ton for all the prompt responses.

Regards,
Rahul.
