Lotus Mobile Installer

Lotus Mobile InstallerIf you encounter a problem installing Traveler using LMI, check:
  • If a port number is not specified in the server name field, LMI assumes port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS. If the server is running on a non-standard port, ensure that the port number is specified along with the server. For example, if the server is running on port 8080, the server should be specified as mytest.server.com:8080.
  • If the Traveler servlet is located in a place other than /servlet/traveler, then the servlet must be specified along with the server name. For example, if the Traveler servlet is available at mytest.server.com/s/t instead of mytest.server.com/servlet/traveler, then the server should be specified as mytest.server.com/s/t. If the servlet was located at /s/t and was on port 8080, then the server should be specified as mytest.server.com:8080/s/t. Neither the port or the servlet path are standard.
  • Manually test connectivity to the server by accessing the servlet with a browser. If you are using HTTP protocol, use the following URL: http://<server>:<httpport>/<servlet>. If you are using HTTPS protocol, then use the following URL instead: https://<server>:<httpsport>/<servlet>. If you can access that site, then you can enter the same URL into the server field in LMI. LMI should then be able to install Traveler.


"Uninstall not successful" when attempting to remove Lotus Notes® Traveler.You cannot uninstall an application that has an active Android Device Administrator. To uninstall Lotus Notes Traveler in this case, you must first deactivate the Lotus Traveler Security administrator. From the home screen choose Menu > Settings> Location & Security > Select device administrators. Unselect Lotus Traveler Security. The application can now be removed normally.

If you use the Lotus Mobile Installer application to uninstall Lotus Notes Traveler, this step is not needed.


Lotus Notes Traveler client

Nothing happens after configuring your Android device. Pull down the notification bar at the top to see the download progress.
Download progress of LotusInstaller.apk is stuck at "Waiting for data connection" or "connecting".The default Android browser does not support downloading from a site with a self signed SSL certificate. Connect to your server using HTTP or use a different application to download the installer.
Verifying installationTo ensure that you properly install and register the Lotus Notes Traveler Client:
  • Choose the correct APK file for your device
    • Android = LotusTraveler.apk

  • The IBM® Lotus Notes Traveler client installation checks the device for both required memory and available slots to run. If either of these resources are insufficient, the message "IBM Lotus Notes Traveler client installation has detected insufficient device resources to run this product" displays. The installation log also displays an entry stating "Install is checking your device resources for IBM Lotus Notes Traveler".
The Lotus Notes Traveler client installation continues. However, if the above message is seen, you may want to close other running applications, or perform a soft reset in order to free up resources.
Verifying registration
  • Verify that the server name field does not include http://, https://, port number, or servlet.
  • Check client log for additional information.

Verifying connectionsTo verify your connection to the server:
  • Validate Lotus Notes Traveler server access using firewall or proxy
  • Use Check Server tool and browser to further diagnose connection issues
  • Check sync protocol.

Verifying authenticationTo verify your authentication with the server:
  • Check for correct ACL access to the server
  • Check for firewalls that may block access to the server

Verifying configurationTo verify your configuration with the server:
  • Check server ports
  • Check sync protocol, for example HTTP or HTTPS.
  • Check the AutoSync flag

Verifying contentionTo check other issues between the device and the server:
  • Verify that other applications are not starving the Traveler process; shut down non-critical applications.
  • Verify that the device is not low on power; plug the device in and shut down non-critical applications.
  • Verify that the device is not running out of storage; adjust the Mail/Calendar and Other Applications filters.
  • Verify that the device can connect to the internet.

Verifying securitySecurity policies are an option that is enabled by the Lotus Notes Traveler administrator. To verify that a device is compliant with a mobile device security policy, see How do I view the security status of my Android device?.

Status icons AutoSync off status icon AutoSync off; status nominal.
AutoSync on status icon AutoSync on; status nominal.
Syncing status icon Syncing with the server.
Cannot reach server status icon Cannot reach the server.
Battery is too low for AutoSync status icon Battery is too low for AutoSync.
No connectivity status icon No device connectivity.
General error message status icon General error message.
Security error message status icon Device security problem, autosync and sync are disabled.
Flight mode status icon Device is in flight mode so autosync and sync are disabled.

Folders created on the mobile device do not appear on the Domino® serverIf you create a folder on the mobile device, it does not appear on the Domino server until after the mail database is closed and reopened.
Duplicate email or PIM data may appear on the device, but not on the serverPerform a “replace data” operation using the Lotus Notes Traveler client to resolve this issue. Follow these steps:
  1. Go to the Lotus Traveler main menu
  2. Go to “Tools -> Replace data”
  3. Select applications with duplicate data and select “Replace”
The data on the client is replaced with a copy of the server data.

Error NumberError MessageNotes®Steps to Resolve Error
1The sync data received was not valid.This is a general error that is reported back by the Sync client when it encounters and error during the processing of the SyncML package provided by the server. In most cases the sync that is in progress aborts.The user can perform a replace data for all PIM types that they are currently syncing.
3Communications problems with the serverThis error is returned if the “InternetOpen” API fails. Step 1 - Try to access the server using a web browser on different device or system that has full connectivity.

Step 2 - try to access the server using the Internet application on the device. If the server seems to be online, make sure you can login using the same userid/password that is on the device. Finally, if that works try to soft reset the device.
4The server name does not have a valid formThis error is returned if the server name, provided by the user, contains invalid characters.Check the server name in the Account settings dialog of the Traveler application. Ensure that the server name is properly formed. Try to access that server using some other means.
6The server name cannot be resolvedThis error is returned if the client receives an ERROR_INTERNET_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED status code from the “InternetConnectThread” API.Same steps for error 4
8Lotus Traveler server is not availableThis is the default error return code used by the configuration component for a failed HTTP GET or POST. Same steps for error 3
9Sync completed with errorsThis is a general error returned by the sync client when a sync failed for one of many possible reasonsSame steps for error 1
10Server is busyThe server returned a status of SML_STATUS_IN_PROGRESS (101) so the client aborted the syncThe user can perform a manual sync if they are concerned that something is wrong. This error should resolve automatically, assuming the server is still operational.
11Record not found during modify/removeSync client could not locate the record referenced by the server in a sync operation such as modify or delete.As in the steps described for error 10 the user can always perform a manual sync. This error is produced for information purposes but the system is basically working fine.
13Out of memoryThe client attempted to allocate a block of memory on the device and it failedCheck the available memory on the device and take appropriate action to free up some storage space.
16The sync was canceled by the user

17Invalid user ID or passwordThe client attempted to perform an HTTP post to the server. The server responded with an authentication error.Perform steps listed for error 3
18The server reported that access is forbidden for your user ID (403)The user ID specified is locked out by the server admin.The server administrator needs to unlock that user.
20The server made an unrecognizable requestThe XML provided by the server during a sync operation was deemed to be incorrect. The sync client is sending this error message out for information purposes. This error does not cause the sync to abort.Perform steps listed for error 1
21Invalid parameterThe sync client was unable to obtain required information from the configuration utility.Revalidate the user name, password, server name, and http protocol. Ensure that Traveler has the correct information stored.
22Buffer too smallThe message provided to the device client by the server exceeds preset maximum message sizeIn theory this should never happen. If it does it is a defect that must be investigated by the development team. As a workaround the user could follow the steps described for error 1
23Invalid data received from the server during syncThere is a mismatch in the version of SyncML supported by the server and client.In theory this should never happen. If it does it is a defect that must be investigated by the development team. There are no workarounds for this one.
25Sync failed to initializeThe sync client detected missing functionality that is required for the level of SyncML being used by the server.Same as error 23
26Sync failed to initializeSame as error 25Same as error 25
29Connection error with server %s port %dThe sync client lost its connection to the server.Same as error 3
30The sync was canceled because of a 500 errorThe server rejected a command sent by the client.Same as error 22
31Sync completed with errorsThe client received a record which for some reason the device was not able to add. The failure is not captured by any of the other mechanisms currently defined. Therefore, using SMLERROR_COMMAND_FAILED is insufficient to avoid the server sending it back.Same as error 22
32Out of memorySame as error 13 Same as error 13
33The Lotus Traveler mailbox could not be foundThe Lotus Mail application is either corrupted or does not exist on the deviceIf the Lotus Mail application does not exist contact IBM Support for a special program that can recreate it on the device.
34An error occurred when attempting to sync data to the storage cardThe Android client was instructed to store something on the storage card but the storage card did not have sufficient space to accommodate the request.Try to free up some space on the storage card. Also, the user should turn off any email settings that direct output to the storage card.
35The Lotus Traveler server is not available. It may not be started or is currently busy (503)The Android client attempted to connect to the server but could not.Same as error 3
37The server reported that it encountered an internal error (500)The client attempted to communicate with the server but the server returned a status 500 which indicates an internal error on the server.Same as error 10
38The sync ended abnormally. HTTP Status code %d.The client received an HTTP status error of 415 from the server. This indicates unsupported media and is typically returned when the client compresses the XML package and the server has a problem decoding it. Turn off zlib compression on the server.
39Settings update failed to be uploaded to the server. It is reattempted on the next syncThe client attempted to send it's latest configuration settings to the server but was not able to do so.Same as error 3
40Battery level is too low, so automated features are disabledThe battery power on the device has fallen to low levels.Charge the device back up.
41Settings update failed to be downloaded from the server. It is reattempted next syncThe server attempted to inform the client about new device settings but there was a connectivity problem preventing the client from obtaining the information updates from the server.Same as error 3
42Sync has been disabled by your administrator because of a device security policy violationA security violation has been detected by the Traveler client. The violation action for the security policy in violation was set to disable syncs.View the current security state of the Traveler client and take the necessary steps required to have security compliance as specified by the server admin.
43Device Security Violation(s)A security violation has been detected by the Traveler client.Same as error 42
44The server reported that access is forbidden for your user ID (403)Same as error 18Same as error 18
45The server reported an error. View the log for detailsGeneral error for various errors reported to the client by the server.Same as error 3
59The change log service is not running.For some reason the change log service is not running.Exit and restart Traveler.
