I have installed traveler 8.5.1.2 now on my 8.5.1 domino server.iphone users still got: “The update for meeting was not synchronized to the server. IBM Lotus Notes Traveler does not support updating meetings from your Apple device. The meeting on your device calendar will be replaced with the information from the server.”
Subject: Have you read the release notes?
New function for Apple Devices (Optional)The functions listed here were added in Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1 and are 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:
Edit the file \traveler\cfg\NTSConfig.xml.
In the section of the file under , add this line:
Save and close the file.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Subject: Have done that
Yes I have done that when I upgraded to traveler 8.5.1 and restarted the server.
Now I have traveler 8.5.1.2 with same configuration but still the same problem.
Subject: Same problem here
Have applied both the changes to enable meetings and the change to enable companion.
But still I do not get the ability to accept or decline meetings.
Do I need to delete and re-create the profile on the iPhone?
Subject: Meeting invitation does not work, too…
I updated our Server to Domino 8.5.1FP3, installed Traveler 8.5.1.2. and followed the special instructions in the release notes but do still get the error “The meeting was synchronized to the server as an appointment without attendees. IBM Lotus Notes Traveler does not support creating meetings from your Apple device.”
Did I miss some more current information concerning this issue?
I tested on Apple iPad (iPhoneOS 3.2) and iPod Touch (iPhoneOS 3.1.3).
Subject: Reading the Release Notes again…
… I think I misunderstood something. The special settings are only for attendee actions (and these work for us). What I really miss is the possibility to invite people to a meeting where I am the chair using my iPad.
