Lotus Notes error: “CWPCA8522E: Application did not get installed…”

Problem :
When you open mailbox client on Lotus Notes Standard Edition 8.5.1 with FP5 installed, randomly will raise an error “CWPCA8522E Application did not get installed”

Cause :
According to https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21444533, commonly there are multiple XML files defined in the Composite Application portion of the application referenced in the error message. In my experience when you installed Lotus Notes Standard 8.5.1 Fix Patch 5 randomly caused this error.

Solution:
To fix, delete the following folders under the Data folder:

..\Notes\Data\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.portal.app

..\Notes\Data\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.rcp.portal.app

Restart the Notes client.
Thanks to Stephan Bovet for his post on the 8.5 forum for this solution.

Need Lotus Notes Traveler for Android…Natively

Recently I’ve bought Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) with Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread system. Truly, it is an awesome device with Live Wallpaper, Widget, a lot of free software, corning gorilla glass (anti stretch glass), it is superior compare with iphone4 (apple should fear this).

I’ve already knew since Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2.1 has support Android devices. In my recent article, i was wrote that Lotus Notes Traveler has support IOS (iphone, ipad, ipod) and it was easy to setup, no additional software installed just use Exchange Active Sync Account, your lotus notes mail will be deliver to your devices.

But in android system, you must to install Lotus Notes Traveler application in order to push your lotus notes email but unfortunately, it wasn’t running natively. It means if you want to check your calendar, you must tap traveler calendar icon and if you want to check your mail, you must tap traveler mail icon, except for contact you can view lotus notes address book natively (built in within your devices).

Even may be you have Exchange Active Sync account on your devices like mine, it is not working (or may be you’ve some tricks? please share and write comment below this article).

I know, Android system has been installed on many devices not like Symbian only works on Nokia, IOS work only on iphone, etc devices, it means more add complexity but I think IBM should think to make Traveler running natively not through additional apps, so we can see calendar, contacts and mail even widget in Android Devices built-in software not additional software like Symbian, Apple does even on Blackberry no additional apps to push/sync your email, contact and calendar.

Hope IBM Lotus team will read my blog…

thank’s

Lotus Notes Traveler for Iphone error : “An error occured while contacting server”

Beberapa minggu ini saya dipusingkan masalah Lotus Notes Traveler yang mengalami error pada handheld iphone & ipad.
Errornya adalah ketika ingin mensetup Lotus Notes Traveler pada Iphone & Ipad muncul messages seperti di bawah ini : “an error occured while contacting server”

Tetapi anehnya pushmail pada handheld Nokia tidak menemui masalah hanya pada handheld iphone & ipad saja.

Setelah dicoba berkali-kali mensetup dengan berbagai cara dimulai dari non aktifkan SSL, manual setup, dll akhirnya saya menyerah dan mencoba untuk mereinstall lagi Lotus Domino Pushmailnya tetapi kali ini dengan masuk dalam 1 DNN (Domino Name Network) karena sebelumnya Lotus Domino servernya disetup dengan beda DNN.

Benar saja, setelah clientnya disetup lagi, Lotus Notes Travelernya langsung online dan tidak ditemui seperti error di atas. Pushmail untuk Nokia & Windows Mobile pun juga tetap lancar.

So my advice, jika anda berencana ingin membangun server Lotus Notes Traveler demi menghindari error seperti di atas, sebaiknya dimasukkan ke dalam satu DNN.

How to disable local notes database encryption

If you think that you want to copy lotus notes nsf data from remote domino server using replication a new replica, then i think you have a wrong solution, because how can you replicate your nsf data while you are in a slow network such as in VSAT network?

It is happened to me when i’ve to deploy domino server in remote site with only 64 Kbps and the database you’ve to copied 1 GB for each nsf application. Lucky, i’ve local database replication copy from user’s PC.

When i’ve to restore lotus notes email using user local database copy, unfortunately the domino shown error dialog box “this database has been encrypt bla bla”, it was happened because when user create a new replica database, Lotus Notes tick enable encryption by default. It means this traditional copy is not a complete solution.

The best way to do this is you have to disable database encryption, but how to do this? Please follow my lead 😀

  1. Open Lotus Notes application workspace, right click at email or nsf application that you want to disable it.
  2. Choose Application – Properties, and click Encryption Settings button
  3. The default like this following picture, but you have to choose “Do not locally encrypt this database” then press OK button :
  4. After that you have to compact the database to applied the new settings you’ve made. Still in database application properties, go to tab “i” and click “Compact” button.
  5. After that you can copy your notes dabatase such as email, etc to your domino server.

Good luck….

Combination Lotus Notes 8.5 Eclipse & Internet Explorer 8 make my email open slower

Symptoms :
When you open the email, especially from outside your corporate domain (mostly HTML format), the mail will takes a very long time to be opened.

Cause :
It will happened when you install Lotus Notes 8.5 Standard / Eclipse Edition & Internet Explorer 8. If you have process monitor installed, you can view that  notes2.exe will check all sites (Restricted Sites) are in Internet Explorer 8 internet settings. After that notes2.exe do query open in file “C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework\rcp\eclipse\plugins\org\eclipse\osgi\framework\internal\protocol\about\Handler.class” but the result is not found repeatly (may be hundred times according the restricted sites amount). Then the email will be opened after 1-2 minutes query.

Solution :

<< Backup your registry before delete some keys >>

You have to delete all Restricted Sites list from Internet Explorer settings in Tools – Internet Options – Security – Restricted Sites – Sites. Or you can remove the list manually from registry in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains & \EscDomains & \Ranges. Also remove in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap.

Another good solution is…

File – Preferences – Basic Notes Client Configuration – Cek “Disable embedded browser for MIME mail”. thank’s Carlos for this great solution.

Notes :
Is it bugs or not?

Domino Administrator id has expired

Ketika anda membuka Domino Admin dengan menggunakan Domino Administrator id ditemukan error “Server Error : your certificate has expired”, maka itu artinya Domino Administrator id telah expired. Apabila ternyata ada user yang mampu melakukan certifikasi selain Domino Administrator maka sebenarnya langkah yang dilakukan cukup mudah. Cukup ikuti instruksi yang didapatkan dari http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?fdoc=wplcdomi&rs=463&uid=swg21087566 

Nah celakanya bagaimana jika keadaannya ternyata tidak ada seorang pun yang mampu melakukan “certify” selain Domino Administrator yang padahal id Domino Administrator telah expired?

Maka ada beberapa langkah untuk menghidupkan lagi Domino Administrator dengan memberikan hak akses setara Domino Administrator kepada user tertentu.

Lalu bagaimana caranya? Ikuti langkah2 berikut ini :

  1. Jangan Panik.
  2. Jalankan “<path>/Lotus/Domino/nlnotes.exe”.
  3. Buka files “names.nsf” di local.
  4. Hasilnya akan terbuka People & Groups Directory, cuma yang kita lakukan di sini adalah memberikan access control kepada user tertentu misal Johntor dengan akses setara Domino administrator. <Biasanya People – Manager dengan akses semua roles>.
  5. Kemudian buka files “certlog.nsf” di local.
  6. Berikan access kepada johntor setara dengan Domino Administrator.
  7. Tutup program nlnotes.exe nya.
  8. Restart Domino servernya.
  9. Kemudian buka Domino Admin menggunakan id johntor.
  10. Kemudian lakukan certifikasi id Domino Administrator (Configuration – Certification – Certify)
  11. Pilih certifiernya sesuai dengan OU yang bersangkutan.
  12. Set tanggal expired datenya. Klik OK
  13. That’s it ! Catatan dari saya jangan sampai lupa untuk certify jika sudah mau expired.

Alternatif lain untuk melakukan certify selain cara-cara di atas adalah http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21218490

Lotus inotes a.k.a DWA juga bisa buat Nokia

Berterimakasihlah kepada IBM yang telah merelease Lotus Domino versi 8.5 yang sudah support mobile user. Selain feature pushmail pada Windows Mobile & Nokia sekarang versi terbaru ini juga bisa membuka webmail  melalui mobile.

Pada mulanya digembar-gemborkan, inotes (sebutannya) bisa dibuka oleh Ipod dan Iphone. Namun dengan sedikit tweaking yang merupakan tips dari rekan saya Gunawan Wicaksono http://gunawantw.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/lotus-inotes-ultralite-mode-nggak-cuma-buat-iphone-doang/ kita bisa membuka inotes melalui browser lain tidak terkecuali Nokia bahkan Blackberry sekalipun.

Caranya mudah. Pertama ikuti langkah-langkah yang diterangkan oleh teman saya tersebut (link ada di atas).

Nokia Inotes

Hanya bedanya pada kolom “Mobile Device User Agents Keywords”, anda bisa menambahkan “SymbianOS” supaya inotes bisa dibuka oleh handheld Nokia anda.

Untuk list lengkap user agent strings pada browser handheld bisa anda browse di http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/mobile_ids.html
