I have not blogged much since Lotusphere.  In short, I have been working flat out since getting back to Belfast with catch-up work and dealing with some security “issues” for customer sites.

Alas, this is required reading for Traveler Admins

I was asked this in Zurich at the Teamstudio lab.  Only getting to it now.  Is there a way to prevent any attachments being sent to devices in traveler?  Well, yes.

In the device settings document, alter the Maximum eMail Attachment Size Allowed field to ’0′.

After a MONTH of no planes, it all kicks off again tomorrow.  Flying from Dublin to Zurich to present a Lotus Traveler workshop for the day on Friday with Teamstudio.  Hope to see you there.

People interested in Traveler may remember this post a month ago.  Prevent copying is “acting as designed” and preventing messages from being visible on mobile devices.

Well, it can be bypassed.  While getting ready for my Lotusphere session on Traveler (will blog my speaking stuff later this week) I noticed this option in the ntsconfig.xml file.

<PROPERTY NAME=”RemoveContentWhenPreventCopying” VALUE=”1″/>

Change the value to “0″ and content is no longer removed after you restart Traveler.

This week we are undergoing three four Lotus Traveler deployments/upgrades.  Upgrading the server is a relatively painless process.  For the iOS user, well… em.. nothing really happens.  As for Android, the user is prompted and the Lotus Mobile Installer is updated, then the client software is upgraded.  Below are screen by screen steps of what happens after you upgrade the traveler server to 8.5.3.1 to an android user, out of the box.  Hope it is useful to someone, even to warn your users what is coming.

iOS5 support and a few other updates.

We have never ran the Traveler workshop in Ireland, so with the end of the year rapidly closing in, it’s about time to rectify that.

The Lotus Traveler deep dive workshop will be held in the Conrad Hotel in Dublin on the 6th December.  Details here.  Register here.

This one was new to me.  Mainly because it has been a long time that I used the “prevent copy” feature.  Know what it is?  If not, that’s fine.  It typically lurks in the hallways of big businesses.

When sending an email, you can check “prevent copying”.  This prevents the person from forwarding or printing the message.

Warren checked the box and sent me an email.  On my client I can read it fine, but in Traveler you get this:

To me, it is acting as designed.  But there is more function on a blackberry where you can read the message but it is prefixed with [You are not allowed to copy this message]

’tis all confirmed.  I will be in Washington DC on the 1st November to present the Mobile war and peace workshop for Teamstudio.  My first time ever in the US capital.  Unfortunately for one night only.  Details here.
