Traveler error about incorrect server version

As a follow up to my post about the traveler fix we received.

Do not fat finger your typing, as I did.

I included an extra = sign in the xml file and that presented the following challenges:

1) new installations would fail with an error that says:
"The Server you have contacted must be upgraded to support this version of Lotus notes Traveler"
2) Devices would repeatedly get asked to download the updated or newer client

While these were my instructions:
travelercfgclientVersionInfo.txt

#Lotus Notes Traveler - Android
Lotus Traveler.Android.version=8.5.3.2 201207031233

If Linux OS - be sure the file pemissions/ownership is not changed.

I somehow added an extra = sign before the version number.

The IBM team sent me this URL to test the server which I provide in case anyone else sees these errors.

http://www.yourdomain.com/servlet/traveler?action=checkForUpdate&deviceType=Android&Version=0

You should get in return a message that looks like this(your verssion number may be different):

AppName=Lotus Traveler
DownloadLink=http://www.yourdomain.com/traveler/LotusTraveler/android/LotusTraveler.apk
Version=8.5.3.2 201207031233
LMIAppConfigFile=traveler.properties

In the incorrect xml file, the version line showed version== and thus the two sides could not communicate properly.

Live and learn.

37	Curbing your social media habits once a week Tue, Jun 11th 2013 1:10p Keith Brooks Imagine you are on an island in the Caribbean, cold drink in hand, sun shining down on you, and your family and friends are with you just hanging out or walking around the island. Sounds nice, doesn't it? No phones in sight, no TV, no car—just you, sand and the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. How long could you go before you had to whip out your phone or laptop to get a picture, post to Facebook or answer some office emails? These days, not very long it seems.

105	Backing Up Sametime Buddy and SUT Phone Lists Thu, May 30th 2013 9:20a Keith Brooks Did you ever start to work on something only to be deeply involved when someone comes over and asks what you are doing? You respond and they look quizzically at you and ask why did you not just do X? X of course is right under your nose and would be obvious to anyone else, except you because you were so involved in your project. So I found myself when someone screamed about losing their Sametime buddy list. Sure there is a menu item to import/export your lists but you know, how many peo [read] Keywords: sametime desktop laptop network server
387	Google Beats Microsoft, Yes but beat IBM Notes? No Way Wed, May 22nd 2013 7:10a Keith Brooks Google, I love you guys, I really do, you do some amazing things and the Doodles are the best! But sometimes your business partners really have no clue what they are talking about and should rethink their marketing. Case in point, a company produced a 3 page document(link to my server, not giving them the traffic) on why Google trumps MS Exchange as an alternative to IBM Lotus Notes. The opening salvo is hyperbole at the best of times. People move systems back and forth and, although I ca [read] Keywords: collaboration domino ibm lotus lotusphere notes xpages applications archiving email enterprise exchange exchange facebook google integration iphone microsoft mobile office sap server wireless workspace
256	R.I.P. Lotus Organizer+ Mon, May 20th 2013 7:00a Keith Brooks Sad to see and hear that the end of the line, officially, is coming to Lotus Organizer, Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Smartsuite itself on June 11, 2013 with support ending September 30, 2014. Organizer was so far ahead of us when it came out, easy links to guide you directions, call from a contact and straight to a web site with one link, an awesome calendar and scheduling tool, and it connected with Lotus Notes and some people still leverage it that way. All from one UI! I can't get anything to [read] Keywords: ibm lotus notes database office

255	What if Darth Vader won? Sat, May 4th 2013 9:00p Keith Brooks May the Fourth Be with You! Ever wonder what it would be like if Darth Vader won? Could Darth Vader have won instead of the Rebels? Could it be that a strong network of Sith Lords could control the masses through social media efforts using The Force? These may be strong words, young Padawan. There is an amusing Twitter account I follow called @DeathStarPR that brings my point forward. What if social media was used as an insidious effort to gain the upper hand against the Rebels?

138	Day 2 of Impact 2013 Wed, May 1st 2013 10:40a Keith Brooks So what did I do on Day 2 of Impact? Today was The World in Motion. Business calls most of the morning, bad wifi upstairs, bad wifi in OGS and the exhibit hall. A frustrating problem because if you needed 30,000 IP addresses or so, what would you do? Duh, grab a Z series! Okay not exactly but it is a problem which should have been addressed Sunday. Which brings me to what I did Tuesday, meetings, interviews, an ignite speech and a session I did with 3 other IBM Champions and a night cap [read] Keywords: ibm apple community google laptop mobile twitter websphere wifi

Went to meet frineds for breakfast and then went over to the OGS where Champions had prime real estate. 4th row center. Today was Business in Motion day. Opening was a drum set and horn section that were quite good and then the star attraction a white Ford took the stage and proceeded to talk to us all.
