| Overview |
|
IBM Lotus Notes Traveler helps power your social business by providing access to email, calendar, and contacts from your mobile device. With Lotus Notes Traveler, you can extend collaboration to your mobile employees and keep them connected with people and information from any location, and with broad support of mobile smartphones and tablets.
The addition of the high availability support ensures that the IBM Lotus Notes Traveler service is available and uninterrupted at all times for end users who have become highly dependent on access to their latest mail, calendar, and contact data from their mobile devices. You can now easily transform your existing or new Lotus Notes Traveler infrastructure into one that is highly available. This is done by 1) establishing a pool of Lotus Notes Traveler servers to comprise the server group for failover actions, 2) upgrading these servers to Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1 Upgrade Pack 1, 3) including an IP sprayer to send data requests to the Lotus Notes Traveler server pool, and 4) adding a relational database to be used by the Traveler server pool. As a result, you have a Lotus Notes Traveler environment that can be easily deployed to end users while being load balanced and having automatic failover if a server outage occurs.
The Lotus Notes Traveler high availability service may not be deployed on a Lotus® Domino® Messaging Server.
Additional enhancements
- Mail and calendar functions on the Android platform including the calendar month view and a new layout and split screen look for the mail user interface that is optimized for tablets.
- Security enhancements for Android such as policies to enforce application level password and advanced attachment handling to prevent attachments from being detached to the file system on the device and making them accessible for read-only use.

| Description |
|
IBM Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 lets you establish a pool of servers to support a high availability service. You can include a load balancer to send data requests to Lotus Notes Traveler and a relational database to monitor the status of the servers in the pool, so you have an environment that can be configured and load balanced to intelligently failover to the best candidate server in the pool if a server outage occurs.
You can decide on the number of servers in the pool based on the number of users in your organization and the desired level of server redundancy for managing failover conditions. For example, a single Lotus Notes Traveler server plus a server to failover to would be a minimum pool configuration that a company might utilize. As your needs grow, you can easily scale up from there.
Along with the high availability service comes a new web-based administration interface. Now all of the administrative tasks can be carried out through this web-based interface that the administrators can access. All of servers in the pool can be administered from this single point. User roles with varying degrees of access rights can also be assigned to the administrators and help desk personnel.
With this update, the Android users get the addition of calendar month view, a new layout and look for the mail user interface on the tablet, which displays the Inbox list and content of selected mail in a single view, plus security enhancements that allow administrators to prevent, by policy, the detachment of attachments (making them read-only), copy and paste, and camera use on Android.

Authorized User
Authorized User is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. An Authorized User is a unique person who is given access to the program. The program may be installed on any number of computers or servers and each Authorized User may have simultaneous access to any number of instances of the program at one time. Licensee must obtain separate, dedicated entitlements for each Authorized User accessing the program in any manner directly or indirectly (for example, via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means. An entitlement for an Authorized User is unique to that Authorized User an may not be shared, nor may it be reassigned other than for the permanent transfer of the Authorized User entitlement to another person.
Note: Some programs may be licensed where devices are considered users. In that case, the following applies. Any computing device that requests the execution of or receives for execution a set of commands, procedures, or applications from the program or that is otherwise managed by the program is considered a separate user of the program and requires an entitlement as if that device were a person.

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. ElectronicServices is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive,no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM . Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
