Traveler 8.5 – “Wipe device” not available?
January 11, 2009 – 12:34 pmI’ve installed Traveler 8.5 and wanted to use the “wipe device” action. All I get is this message

I looked into the code of the “Wipe device” shared action in LotusTraveler.nsf. In line 103 I found this code:
If (Isempty(wipeSupported) Or "1" <> wipeSupported(0)) Then confirmMsg = Strleft(NOWIPETEXT, "%0") + deviceName(0) + Strright(NOWIPETEXT, "%0")
Then I looked into the wipeSupported field of the “Device” form.

With a Default value of “0″ the code to wipe the device is never executed. So I tried to wipe the device by sending the signal via the server console:
tell traveler security addFlags wipeDevice IMEI:3518xxxxxxxxxxx CN=Ulrich Krause/O=singultus
The command is executed without errors and after the next sync, the device is no longer allowed to access the server. But the client and all data are still available
Seems that the function is not yet implemented properly. Or did I miss something??

Haha!
I guess the Traveler team will have some explanation to do at Lotusphere!
Good work!

I thinks phone need to be configured, to enable remote wipe feature.
for example nokia E61 has remote wipe in specification.

Seems like the Nokia E61 / E61i does not have a remote wipe option at all …
