LO82251: $NTTRACK FIELD ONLY STORES LAST 4 ALPHANUMERALS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The $NTTrack field only stores the last 4 alphanumerals of the
  deviceID. It would be beneficial if the field would store the
  full
  deviceID for those who want it. Notes Traveler Server will be
  changed to allow a user to choose whether they would like to see
  the full ID or just the last 4 alphanumerals.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• nttrack field purposely uses last 4 digits of device ID as the
  field has a length limit.  This APAR allows a customer to choose
  to store the full device ID.  The behavior is managed with the
  notes.ini parameter:
  
  NTS_CALENDAR_TRACK_FULL_DEVICEID=true|false
  
  It is false by default, set to true to enable.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Notes Traveler server has been updated to allow the full
  device ID to be stored if desired.  The NTTrack field does have
  a character limit so this may increase chances that the field
  becomes truncated.
  

Temporary fix

• This fix is included 9.0.0.1 IF8, 9.0.1 IF7 and will be included
  in any future releases.
