APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The presence of brackets (<>) in attachment filenames may cause
Traveler to read these names incorrectly, which can cause a
filename mismatch when the server attempts to find and stream
the attachments in the document by name. This results in a
404="Entry not found in index" message in the Traveler Error
logs, and the attachment will not be able to be opened on the
mobile device.

The Traveler server has been updated to handle filenames with
this type of formatting.

Local fix

  • Users can omit brackets from the filenames of attachments that
are included in any new (future) emails

Problem summary

  • Attachment with < or > in the file name fails to download to
mobile device.

Problem conclusion

  • The IBM Traveler server has been updated to handle this
scenario.

Temporary fix
