Import of ICS files with special characters not possible

This week I received the information from a customer that there´s a problem when trying to import ICS files with special characters ( like Ü, .. ) in your Notes calendar. You then receive the following error message:

‘Notes cannot process your file. This URL is not associated with a valid iCalendar feed’ 

There´s a known TechNote regarding this problem: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1LO90157

I pleased HCL to create an Enhancement Request and a new idea for getting this issue fixed has been created: https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/NTS-I-1052

In the meantime you can solve this issue by either

  • renaming the ICS file ( getting rid of the special characters ) or
  • Drag&Drop the ICS file to your calendar link in the sidebar

Feel free to support the idea 😉

Traveler V11 – What´s new

In the current Beta 2 there are also new features included:

  • View attachments in calendar events
    When you receive an invitation from a Notes® or Verse web user that includes an attachment in the event description,
    you can now open or download the attachment from your mobile device, if your device supports the capability. Note
    that opening or downloading inline attachments or creating or editing attachments isn’t supported.
  • Support for ActiveSync 16.x
    Traveler now supports Microsoft™ Exchange ActiveSync versions 16.0 and 16.1 on iOS devices. This change allows
    for the development of future features that require this version, such as the ability to sync calendar attachments.
    Traveler automatically switches to ActiveSync 16.x when it detects devices that run on it; no user interaction is
    required.
  • Support for APNS HTTP/2
    Traveler now supports HTTP/2 for communication with Apple’s Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) servers. No
    configuration is required and there is no change in behavior.
  • Support for draft message synchronization
    Traveler now supports the syncing of draft messages on iOS. As part of Exchange ActiveSync 16.X, which Traveler
    now supports, the draft messages will sync from the server to the device and from the device to the server.
  • Support for 24+ hour meetings or events
    You can now create and modify non-repeating meetings and appointments that are longer than 24 hours.

Sametime V11 – What´s new

In the current Beta 2 of Notes/Domino/Traveler/Sametime V11 great enhancements have been published by the great team of HCL:

Sametime V11 Community Server

After years and years and years and …. the new Community Server will at least support Domino 64-bit environments and will now fully support OpenJDK

Sametime V11 Proxy Server

With V11 it will not be necessary to implement WAS, DB2, System Console or the whole other bunch. Just take a single ZIP file with 100MB, unzip it, run the install script to configure the server and start the Proxy Server !

Click to Meet

With Sametime V11 you will now be able to start a meeting not inside of Sametime but with a Third-party conferencing software directly from the chat ! This feature will be available in the rich client ( ST Connect Client ) and also via the Web client !

Modern UI for the Web Client

Also the Look and Feel for the new Web Client has been refreshed and is looking very straight and modern ! Additionaly you’ll have 2 features with the Web client we have been missing:

  • Send and receive attachments with online users
  • Send pasted images and screenshots to online users

 

So great job so far which has been accomplished by the Dev Team of HCL !!
