Installing Lotus Notes Traveler

Server installation:

Note: You can obtain the Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1 install package from your Passport Advantage or Partner World account.
In addition an upgrade install package is available on Fix Central which will upgrade your existing Lotus Notes Traveler server to 8.5.1.1.

* Before installing Lotus Notes Traveler, you must shut down the Domino server.
* Next, launch the Lotus Notes Traveler install package and follow the Install Wizard instructions.
* After installation is complete, restart the Domino server.
* To verify the Lotus Notes Traveler server installation, enter the command "TELL TRAVELER VERSION" from the Domino Console. The output should look like this:

> Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1 Build <date>


Client installation:

Note: There is no client to install for Apple devices. Follow the steps below to update the client on Windows Mobile and Nokia devices. For provisioning new devices see the instructions in the Information Center.

* Once the Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1 server has been installed and is running, the Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1 clients can be found at:

http(s)://<hostname>/servlet/traveler

or

<Domino Data Directory>\domino\html\traveler\LotusTraveler

* The Lotus Notes Traveler client install package can be transferred to the device in many ways, including:
o Over-the-air (OTA) web download from the Client Download Web site.
o ActiveSync
o Nokia PC Suite
o E-mail attachment
o Bluetooth
o Infrared

* Once the client install package has been transferred to the device, start the install package and follow the Install Wizard instructions.
* To verify the client installation, select the Lotus Notes Traveler icon > Menu > About and confirm that the About screen reads:

Uninstalling Lotus Notes Traveler
Uninstalling the server:

* Important: Stop the Domino server before attempting to uninstall the Lotus Notes Traveler server.
* To return to a previous version of the Lotus Notes Traveler server, do not run the uninstaller. Instead locate and launch the install package for the earlier version and follow the install wizard instructions. This will preserve the database and configuration settings.
* To completely uninstall Lotus Notes Traveler server, go to Add/Remove Programs, select IBM Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1, select Remove, and then follow the Uninstall Wizard instructions.

Uninstalling the client:

* Before uninstalling the Lotus Notes Traveler client, first stop the client. You can do this by selecting the Lotus Notes Traveler icon > Menu > Exit.
* To uninstall the Lotus Notes Traveler client, select Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs > IBM Lotus Notes Traveler, and then select Remove.

Optional function for Apple Devices

The functions listed here are optional and not enabled by default. The Lotus Notes Traveler server administrator must explicitly enable these functions for them to become active. Follow the procedures outlined below to enable.

* Meeting attendee invitation actions for Apple devices.

When this feature is enabled, attendees to meetings will now receive meeting notices on their Apple device and the mobile user will be able to accept, tentatively accept, or decline the meeting invitation. Using the Settings application on the Apple device, the user can enable or disable meeting notice alerts by selecting the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings and then changing New Invitation Alerts to On or Off.

To enable this feature:
o Edit the file <domino data directory>\traveler\cfg\NTSConfig.xml.
o In the section of the file under <COMPONENT COMPONENT_TYPE="TrueSyncServer">, add this line:
<PROPERTY NAME="AS_ALLOW_INVITATIONS" VALUE="true"/>
o Save and close the file.
o Restart the Lotus Notes Traveler server.

Limitations: This is a supplement to the limitations documented in the Information Center and is not intended to be a complete list of limitations. See the Information Center for more details on known limitations.
o From the Apple device calendar if you select the action Accept/Maybe/Decline for one instance of a recurring and there is no active meeting notice for that event, then this action applies to all instances of the meeting.

o From the Apple device if you receive a meeting notice that is an "update" notice, you are still presented with the actions Accept, Maybe and Decline. This is not expected using Lotus Notes, as an update notice should only have the option to "Add to Calendar" if you were using a Lotus Notes client. Regardless of the action that you take on the iPhone, this notice will be applied to your calendar once you take any action. If you take the decline action, then the meeting will temporarily be removed from the device but will later synchronize to the device calendar.

o Cancellation notices are processed automatically by the Lotus Notes Traveler server prior to sending the notice to the Apple device. No action is required. The notice will remain in the mail Inbox until deleted or moved to a folder.

* Support for Lotus Notes Traveler Companion for Apple devices.

To enable this feature:
o Edit the file <domino data directory>\traveler\cfg\NTSConfig.xml.
o In the section of the file under <COMPONENT COMPONENT_TYPE="TrueSyncServer">, add this line:
<PROPERTY NAME="TSS_APPLE_ENCRYPT_ENABLED" VALUE="true"/>
o Save and close the file.
o Add the following parameter to the notes.ini file for your Lotus Traveler server:
NTS_EXTERNAL_URL=(external url used by device)
The value of this parameter should be the URL used by Apple devices to connect to the Lotus Notes Traveler server. If there is a proxy in front of Lotus Notes Traveler, then this URL will be the host name of the proxy instead of the actual Lotus Notes Traveler server. For example:
NTS_EXTERNAL_URL=https://hostname/servlet/traveler
o Restart the Lotus Notes Traveler server.
