Category domino 8.5 quickr sametime traveler
Hi all.

Recently, i've upgraded our production server to 8.5 fp1. As soon as the french LP is here, i will upgrade to 8.5.1.

I've already installed traveler which work very well with our phones (nokia essentially).

But as many of you have notices, IBM is 'offering' us many product at no charge with new version of domino: Quicr Entry, Sametime Entry and traveler.

Well, at no charge ? really ?
i.e: everywhere i found that it is recommended to install sametime on its own server, same thing for traveler or quickr.

do i really need three servers (and of course three licences..) just to use traveler, sametime and quickr on my simple, 40 users organisation ?

I've done the test to install quickr entry on a french domino 8.5 fp1, just after installing traveler, and quickr refuse to install saying me that a quickr installation already exist in lotus program folder.
(maybe because i'm trying to use a partitionned server...)

Does someone already installed all this products together, on the same server ?
Where can we found documentation on combining all these products ?

One more thing: Is a 64 bits version of all this products will be launched ?

Category GIAT traveler symbian e65

Some are writing SNTT (Show And Tell Thursday), i write GIAT (Give It A Try).

Because it's just proof of concept, just trying and issues, asking some help sometimes, i can't tell and show it thursday (and it's not thursday after all.... )

So, for my first GIAT, i will talk (write..) about Lotus Traveler.

At work, for now, we used Commontime's mSuite.
This piece of software just wok as expected and is suitable for Mobile smartphone with windows Mobile and symbian 3rd generation.(soon we will add iPhone too)
All that is needed with msuite is a data plan. Here in France, every operator sell 10Mo/month for 10 €.
This data plan is enough for msuite as everything is compressed and encrypted.

But for my little Nokia e65, i did not want to buy a data plan just to sync email, notes and calendar.
So i tried SyncML4J, funambol and at last, Traveler. (e65 come with wifi, so this is not an issue @home or @work)

What i want to do is to see if Traveler is able to sync data with just an unlimited wap plan (grps).
Wap plan is limited to web surfing only. I.E: http request only and only on port 80 (maybe 8080 and 443)!

So here is the limit of software like BlackBerry and commontime suite. They only work with data plan as they use some different ports and traffic mode.

I have to say immediatly that syncing my e65 with lotus domino 8.5 (traveler 8.5.0.1) and a simple wap plan is working flawlessly, but only manually via port 80. I've set the auto-sync feature to use the port 8080 and this is not working at all with this wap plan. (operator limitation, bug, server error, ?) But this is working via Wifi for exemple.

So here it is the full long day story to sync e65 with domino.
