Nokia N8 - Synch of Lotus Notes Calender entries

One of the primary reasons I dumped my iPhone and switched to the Nokia N8 is because I believed Nokia phones supported Lotus notes synchronization. I was shocked to find that OVISuite hasn't this capability. I don't intend to use the Lotus Traveller because our company allows the Traveller only on Blackberrys. I desperately need the capability to synch my calender even if I do not have the possibility to synch mail. Has anybody figued a way out of this? Desparate!
There is a running post under the "OVI Suite" topic about this problem. Since nobody seems to have an answer there, I am posting also under the Nseries topic.

I've been having the same issues, new Nokia n8, cant sync anything to Lotus Notes 8.5.2 using OVO suite 2.x and cant sync to PC Suite either (un-supported device).
(although i was able to configure pop for Notes mail, but i needed full pim, contacts, calendar etc.)
I started looking at Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2 , and was disapointed that the Nokia N8 wasn't listed as a supported device, buy I tried it anyway (easy for my as i manage my own domino environment) and the results are in...
Using an Over the Air The Connection (OTA) , Domino recongised my Nokia N8 as a S60 device, allowed me to download the installer and configure. I can confirm that Traveler definatley works on the Nokia N8, and everything seems fine.
Notes Traveler is free to IBM customers who have a current Domino server license, and the software can be downloaded from the IBM passport advantage site.
If you need any help or further information , let me know.
Cheers, Alan

Synch to Lotus Notes as Appointment Only

Hi experts!!!
I have the following problem: i create an activity Meeting in my CRM, and i synchronize my CRM calendar.
When i open my Lotus Notes calendar the activity is set as Appointment.
How can i differentiate appointment and meeting???
I am working in CRM 2007 , Lotus Notes 7.0 and my setup is 3038
Any ideas???
Please help!!
Thank you all in advance!!

Grigoria,
I think I answered this before a long while ago so, but here is the general rule for Lotus Notes sync
1) If there are no attendees on the CRM activity then it goes to Notes as an appointment
2) If there are attendees on the CRM activity then it goes to Notes as a meeting document
If case 2 is not working then you need to check the mapping of the attendee parnter function for the transaction type.
You might also want to a more exhaustive search in this forum or the CRM Middleware forum or the Webclient UI forum.
Take care,
Stephen

Nokia E73- Call log does not display entries

I recently purchased a E73 by itself.
For some reason the call log does not display any telephone numbers or activity in recent calls; missed calls, received calls, dialed numbers. It would show that I have a missed call but when I enter it, it says (no missed calls).
Any ideas? Please let me know...
Thanks

Enable and set log duration to 30days.

6300 & Lotus Notes V7 (Synch problems with Calenda...

Trying to synch my calendar on a 6300 with Lotus Notes v7 HF277 L-GHUS-5RWNHM with PC Sync v 6.86.9.0.
When trying to Synch the process fails with following error message :
Calendar Incomplete. Unable to process all items.
The calendar sycn was working fine for several days and all of a sudden the synch started to fail. No updates to phone or Lotus Notes occurred during this period.
Can you advise how I can force replication from Lotus Notes to my 6300 phone or overcome the problem above ?

Hello, I am meeting a similar problem with my N95 and Notes V7 Calendar.
The feature used to work with my N95 until very recently.
Synchronization of the list of contacts does work but the calendar stopped working.
Here are the problem symptoms
Nokia PC Suite opens Lotus Notes V7 and seems to be scrolling entries while displaying a counter being incremented against a total number - in my case the total number is 779.
When the first counter reaches 760, the dialog stops resulting into the 2 following synchronization msgs:
PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisat
and
The synchronisation has been aborted.
I observed that
Deleting one calendar entry reduces the total number from 779 to 778 - unfortunately the the scrolling still aborts before reaching the 778 number.
Reducing the calendar synchronisation window to the bare minimum (1 day before / 1 day after) does not change the scrolling process (ie. the whole 778/779 entries seem to be scrolled) and the process keeps aborting.
I have the following software configuration:
Nokia PC Suite is 7.1.18.0
Lotus Notes is 7.0
and I updated the phone software with latest firmware available on the Nokia site
I have been a very happy user of the N95 Calendar function until now.
Would anybody help here ?
Kind regards.

Iphone calender import / sync lotus notes / google calendar

Hi!
I am chasing at the moment several possibilities to get my lotus notes calender and contact data into my iphone (eventually with googlecalendar). Does someone have a hint how to import or sync these data without installing software on my computer, or if its not possible which is the best software for that use?
Thanks!!
Valle

I used Companionlink to export/sync my calendar and contacts between Lotus Notes and Google. Then used the iPhone's builtin software to sync with Google. Work fine. www.companionlink.com
Best solution though, if you have a Notes server, is to install IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. It is a free add-on to your Notes server and will give you push email, calendar and contacts on your iPhone.

Synch Lotus Notes with iCloud

I would like to synch a Lotus Notes calendar with iCloud to be able to share it with others. Does anyone know how to do that or what kind of software is abailable for that? For Lotus Notes to Google or Hotmail, there is a tool like CompanionLink available.

From an older thread I found: http://pimsyncer.com/ which works on my Lotus Notes for Mac (long story on how I got my hands on this version). Syncs up well to Google Calendar and iCloud thus far. 14 day free trial period. Docs say the .nsf (gah!) should work on the Windoze version of Notes as well.

Lotus Notes 8 Calendar Sync Problem (Application Error)

I am seeing an Application Error of the Desktop Manager v4.6 when I try to sync my Lotus Notes 8 calendar DesktopMgr.exe - Application Error: exception unknown software execption (0xc000000d) occurred in application at location 0x082b31dd). The problem started suddenly when I had v4.3, so I upgraded hoping the error will resolve itself but it did not.
I had this problem before and I think it was related to a calendar entry that had attachments. When I deleted the calendar entry, the problem went away.
So now I am trying to locate the calendar entry when I force a one way sync from Lotus Notes to my 8830. I looked at the log and it states the last calendar entry it read, so I deleted it and tried syncing again without success. The number of records read is one less than before I removed the calendar entry.
So how do locate the calendar entry that maybe causing the problem? What view in my Notes 8 mail does DM use to analyze my calendar entries?

Hello,
Well, I have just performed the update to the suggested PC Suite version and rebooted my PC.
Conclusion : exactly the same problem is happening.
I had a calendar entry whose description field was 2131 characters (including spaces). PC Suite failed to replicate the calendar and always failed with the following message : "Synchronization Completed, 0 entries have been updated". When looking in the replication log, you would find a "pc sync information" stating "PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronization", and another entry stating "The Synchronization has been aborted by the user".
If I truncate manually in Lotus Notes (8) this calendar entry to a much smaller description, then the synchronization succeeds.
This problem has been present since many releases of PC Suite. I hope Nokia will fix and once and for all !!!
I'm working at IBM, and I'm consulted by many colleagues who recognize me as their "technology" advisor. Up to today I must say that I have not been actively promoting Nokia as replication with Lotus Notes as always been suffering many issues. Compared to Windows Mobile devices or even Palm, it has no chance at all, as these devices do have GREAT synchronization capabilities with Lotus Notes.

OVI Suite 2.0 doesn't sync with Lotus Notes!

I am disgusted with the new OVI 2.0! First it keeps bugging me to download and install it. Next I found out that it doesn't support sync with Lotus Notes. Unlike my Nokia PC Suite v 7.0, it doesn't sync at all with Lotus Notes.
Even worst, Nokia claimed that OVI Suite is the only application available from them.
What am I to do with my calendar and contacts entries on my Notes then? I will not hesitate to switch to a different mobile phone maker if Nokia doesn't fix this problem!

Hi, recommendation is to use Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 application for using Nokia device with Lotus Notes. Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 supports syncing email, contacts and calendar over the air with Lotus Notes servers.
That's recommended way to sync Nokia device's with Lotus Notes.
The Lotus Notes Traveler might be recommended, though I am working in a company that provides Lotus Notes Traveler it is not an alternative for me, since:
a. The company does not pay the data traffic costs on my phone, so I must cover the cost of use of Traveler from my own pocket.
b. Traveler have impractical limitations in the range of how long in the future calendar data is sync'ed.
Now, that is my situation, but not all companies does provide or plan to provide their employees with Lotus Notes Traveler, but they allows their employees to choose their phones themselves. You can say I am just being difficult, but they who have no alternatives are not. For them it is Nokia being difficult.
The current solution for most of us is to continue using Nokia PC Suite until it is time for a new phone, and then change to another mobile phone provider, if Nokia still has no new solution for sync'ing with Lotus Notes.
It is not wise of Nokia to remove a feature from its software that have made people loyal so far, and changing to other phones is, as we all know, easy, and Nokia can not afford to lose more customers. As customers most of us can, however, easily live without Nokia. I abandoned Ericsson some ten years ago as they did not provide new features and functions as Nokia then did. Now it is Nokia that discontinues features and functions and is slow to implement new ones.
With the exception of the calendar and contacts, which can be sync'ed as long as the PC Suite works, the Nokia backup solution does not backup much I can not backup by using the memory card and a computer (and/or the USB cable), and it will be a simple matter to drop that back into a mobile phone from another provider, and sync my calendar and contacts into it as well.
I believe Nokia employees reading these discussions should forward their concern to their colleagues and superiors at Nokia, and I know the culture in many Finnish companies implies a relatively flat structure and allows for good contact along the lines of command in the companies, so I believe that can be done.
I would like to be able to continue using Nokia, but I am more dependent on features and functionality than brand.
My postings are done on basis of my own opinions, and are not done on behalf of organizations I am or have been member of, nor employers I have or have had.

Can't sync with Lotus Notes

Phone: 6233
PC Suite: 6.85.14.1
Notes: 6.5.1
Have entered server name in settings:
name/SRV/companyname
Filename:
mail\myname.nsf
Both of these are taken from Notes, but not 100% I picked the right ones since I'm new to Notes.
Get error message: name/SRV/companyname!!mail\myname.nsf Server not responding. Server could be down or you have network problems....etc.
Seems that PC suite inserts exclamation points in the address. Tried replacing server address with IP, e.g.
12.123.123.123/SRV/companyname but that didn't work (same result).
God I miss outlook ;-)
Can anyone help?

HI all,
First of all for those who do not know how to create a local database in Lotus Notes,
File -> Database -> New -> in Server name, give a filename of your own and Filename, you have to specify the complete path of the file. ( For example, if you are creating a file in desktop, complete path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\x.nsf)
username = name which you have logged in
x.nsf = Filename you have created newly in local
and in Server template select Mail(R7) i think since i have installed lotus notes 7.0 i have selected Mail(R7).
Once new file is created in local server as said above,
Sync settings in Nokia PC Sync
In sync settings in Nokia pC Sync, select Lotus Notes 7.x, ( i have installed lotus notes 7.0) for calender sync, Server name should be local and in Filename, give the complete path ( something similar to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\x.nsf, if you have stored your file in the desktop) with the name.
Now sync the calender with Lotus Notes.
Hope it may help you Best of Luck

Smooth switch from Pylon Conduits to XTNDConnect PC, to sync Palm with Lotus Notes

I've used Pylon Conduits (software purchased from sybase.com) for years, to sync my Palm Zire 72 (Palm OS 5.0) with Lotus Notes at work. I also used HotSync to sync the Palm with my home computer's Palm Desktop. Essentially a 3-way calendar sync, very convenient!
There was a documented Pylon problem with recurring entries turning into duplicate entries, and there were occasions where I'd delete an entry from one calendar that didn't stay deleted after sync'ing. However, all in all, my imperfect 3-way sync was worthwhile. At least the entries erred on the side of caution--better too many than not enough.
Sadly, I learned, Pylon issued an "end of life" notice earlier this year. After my office pushed down a patch that messed with Pylon, I was recently forced to find other conduit software. EasySync was recommended to me, but I can't remember what flaw prevented my using it--maybe it wouldn't sync Lotus Notes recurring entries at all? Can't remember.
Anyway, with low expectations, I tried XTNDConnect PC software (another sybase.com product, $60, to replace Pylon). For what I use it for (calendar, to-do, memos), XTNDConnect PC is marvelous, better than Pylon Conduits! Simple, yet powerful. I guess it's pronounced "extendConnect PC," but I will ignore the cumbersome name. Its conduits are not just for Palm and not just for Lotus Notes either, but when you tell it what you're using it for, it is so friendly as to show only your relevant options.
XTNDConnect PC handles recurring entries nicely. And it addresses how Contacts fields differ in Palm vs. Lotus Notes: It shows how/which fields are mapped by default, plus it allows you to customize field mapping for all Contacts fields.
One change I had to figure out was that while Pylon sync'd Palm's "Memos" with Lotus Notes email "Drafts" folder, XTND instead syncs Palm's "Memos" with a Lotus Notes "Journal" database (which I had to establish and bookmark on my work computer). No big, once I figured out what was going on. I got some help from XTNDConnect PC customer service--free by email, and responsive within hours.
I saw in perhaps old specs for XTND that for email, you have to install some additional software (to supplement XTND) if you're syncing a Palm using OS higher than 3.0. However, I can't say anything more about this because I don't use the email conduit.

My calender entries made on my ipad is not snycing with iphone or my PC....My Iphone is synching to both.

i have made calender entries on my Ipad....those entries will not sych with my iphone nor my yahoo account on my PC....also entries made on my pc do not synch to my ipad

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Calendar synch BB Storm, BB DM 4.7 and Lotus Notes 8.0.2

I am seriously frustrated with the synchronization issues with my BB Storm 9530, DM 4.7.0.25 and Lotus Notes 8.0.2. I have searched this forum and Crackberry to find a solution and at this point I think there is just no solution.
When I sync my calendar, (two-way via IntelliSync) to Lotus Notes, the BB calendar ALWAYS has 75-80 items and tries to delete 100's of items form Lotus Notes (Lotus Notes is correct and I only have 370 calendar items). I have to reject the sync, delete the BB Calendar database and do a one-way push from Lotus Notes to BB. I have the "keep forever" checked on the BB, I have the "transfer all scheduled items" checked in in the BB DM and IntelliSync set up, I have done all the stupid stuff, like take out the battery, reinstall BB DM, checked/re-checked the memory, deleted and reinstalled the IntelliSync software, yada. yada and NONE of it works.
I have resigned myself to the fact I can only do a one way push from Lotus Notes to the BB...PERIOD. I will get rid of BB when my contract is up, or sooner if it continues to make me crazy. I love that RIM just unleashes software on the world and expects us to test it for them. This is not rocket science. I work in the software industry and this type of "release and let the world test it" mentality has got to stop. Calendar sync is not that big of a deal. I was a previous Active Sync user and I NEVER had an issue with this basic functionality. RIM needs to either fix the BB DM or force IntelliSync to fix the sync program or write their own sync software and quit depending on a 3rd party. Either way, I have had it.

Hi,
I have checked this in Outlook, imported holidays of X country and even those holidays got installed in Outlook, but when i synched those holidays with Nokia N 79, those holidays were not synched with Nokia N 79 inspite of those entries are there in Outlook, same goes with Lotus Notes 6.5 [i don't have Lotus Notes 8.x], So its seems to be a limitation on sync side

Lotus Notes 6.5 and Nokia 6300 problem

Hi All,
I'm using
Windows XP with SP2
Lotus Notes 6.5.4
Nokia 6300
PC Suite 6.82.26.0
When I try to synch my calendar I get the error: the system cannot find the file specified: local, mail\nllha.nsf.
A second error in Dutch "het vereiste gegevenstype wordt niet door de opgegeven database ondersteund". In English this would be something like "the file type is not supported by the database that you entered".
Any ideas would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Lyset

Hi All,
Problem is solved... I created a new local replica of my calendar. Without Encryption. Now it works.
Bye,

Synchronising Lotus Notes repeat calendar entries

I have a 6810 and using PC sych 6.7 synchronise to Lotus Notes 6.5 calendar, to-do and addresses. A great tool, however, when I set calendar entries in Notes that are repeated, only the initial entry is transferred to the phone.
I was working on an older version of PC Synch and upgraded but to no avail.
It is very frustrating as I know I haven't a full calendar on my phone and feel as if I can't rely on it.
Any ideas???
Gary

I have a 6230i. The repeat pattern cannot be set on the phone as it only repeats by date not day of the week. However repeat sychronisation worked previously for day of the week when using Office XP. This problem only started when I upgraded to Office 2003. It seems like it took each repeated appointment in Outlook 2000 and copied to the phone but this is not the case in Outlook 2003 as it only copies the first one.
