IBM Notes Traveler now supports “Out of office” functionality on Android and iOS devices. This allows you to configure a variety of settings that determine how IBM Notes Traveler responds when you receive mail while away from the office.
By the way: The German translation is HORRIBLE!!!
To use this feature, you have to install and configure IBM Notes Traveler Companion.

UPDATE: SOLVED THE PUZZLE !!
After I had removed “127.0.0.1 localhost” from the Windows hosts file, everything works fine now
I have installed WMware Workstation 9.0.2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server. Everything works fine, except I cannot enable sharing of VMs in the configuration.
The WMware Workstation server service starts, but dies after a few seconds. I have already searched the usual sources for a solution. ( replacing datasources.xml, re-installing the software after removing all previously installed components and cleaning the registry … ) I also made sure that the HTTPS port is not in use. Nothing helped.
I installed the software on a VM running Windows 2008 R2 and it worked immediately. I replaced the files on the physical machine with the ones from the VM. Same issue …
I really cannot figure out, what is going wrong. From the log I can see, that the service dies, while the software continues logging on the VM with the working setup.
Here is some more information from the log. Perhaps someone can tell, what is going on …

I was able to solve the issue. As I wrote in the recent article, it had to do with the M$ C++ Redistributable packages. Either a conflict or something was missing or a configuration problem. Using sxstrace is not of much help. If you are not familiar with this stuff, you will only get a bunch of information, but you would not know, what to do with it. And I doubt, that someone with no deep knowledge of M$ programming will find the cause in the trace file.
What I did was to delete/ uninstall ALL C++ redistributable packages before running setup.
( CAUTION : This can/ will cause issues with other applications ).
I then ran the Domino 9.0.0 setup. At the very end of the setup process, the installer installs the correct vcredist packages.
I guess that my first attempt to fix the issue by reinstalling Domino failed, because the files where already in place and were not reinstalled during installation
Since I’m running Domino 9 64bit on Windows 2008 R2 64bit, I see the following error on the console:
It does not seem to have any impact on the running server. Just wonder if this is a known issue and one can simply ignore the message.The file in question is on the server.
I have already posted a question in the IBM Notes 9 Forum; nobody seems to know an answer; or nobody cares .
The Windows enetlog shows the following error:
SideBySide errors are typically caused by the current Microsoft Visual C++ version not being backward compatible with the application that failed. The Event ID 33 error message is typically: Activation context generation failed for “program name”..Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis. There are other similar SideBySide errors with the same problem of backward compatibility.
If the software works OK then you don’t have to fix it but if it does not or you want to get rid of this error here are two possible Fixes:
1) Reinstall Domino. Often the installation package will have the version of Microsoft Visual C++ that it uses and will install it. – did not help
2) Try to figure out what Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package version (available versions are: 2003, 2005, 2008, & 2010) the application needs (most likely the one that came out prior to the date that the application software was created; check the dates of the files in the package). . These are available through Microsoft’s Downloads.
Well, I’ve tried a couple of them and also installed the exact version that is used on another server that does not show the message, but still no success.
Maybe some day in the future someone at IBM will see the exact same message on the console and fix the issue. In the meantime … …
I know, VMWare Server is outdated an I better should use ESXi or at least VMWare Workstation. Indeed, the plan was to replace the VMWare Server installation with WMWare Workstation 9.0.2 and enable the sharing of virtual machines.
To install WMWare Workstation, you have to uninstall the VMWare Server fist. “There can only be one” (virtualization system). After installing the Workstation, everything worked fine. Except the sharing. I was not able to run the Workstation Server service, and after a lot of attempts to solve the issue, I finally gave up; for now.
Next I wanted to reinstall the VMWare server. After the installer started, I got an error message and the installation finished unsuccessfully.
I asked Google for advice and found some hints to unreg and register the Windows Installer. This did not help.
Next I looked into the event log and found the following entry
Drive “E” by the way is the DVD drive of the system. …
For any unknown reason, the installer tried to install some bits and pieces onto the DVD. This obviously is a futile attempt.
To solve the issue, I assigned an other drive letter to the DVD device. The installer now ran without any issues; there was not even a volume “E” in the system any longer.
We are living in a global village. When it comes to travel, we book a flight and within a day we are able to get to almost every corner of our planet. The internet gives us every information we need with just a couple of mouse clicks. We have “friends” on facebook and a blog post goes around the digital world in seconds.
We sell, buy, exchange goods and ship them to other countries; no big deal is this.
eBooks eliminate the need to wait for the printed copy; it gives you also the good feeling to be part of the “Green Planet” initiative. How easy it is to order an ebook.
Ehm, wait … What about Amazon??
For about 1 year, I have 100$ on my amazon.com account. The money came from a gift card. And for about 1 year, I am not able to order anything from amazon.com and use the money for payment.
Today I started a new attempt. I thought that ordering an ebook would be ok. There is no shipping cost, no tax etc. So I tried to order
Oh, did I mention, that I am located in Germany? Amazon does know and instead of letting me order an eBook it just gives me a hint that I should order from amazon.de.
That would not be a problem, if I only could use my amazon.com giftcard on amazon.de.But the giftcard is not accessible from my amazon.de account. According to amazon, shifting the money from one account to another ( for the same user ) is not possible. I cannot even give away the money for charity or just move the money from my account to another account.
And if I see this correct, I am not even able to place an order for a friend in USA and use his address for delivery.
AMAZON, this is anoying!! In Germany I would take you to court for taking the money and not providing a benefit. …
I was kindly asked by an IBM representative to remove the blog post:
Ulrich – would you please take down this blog post? …
I haven’t had a chance to look at post in the DP forum but have made the dev team aware of the issue.I am not sure what we can do to resolve but would appreciate if we could handle outside of a public venue.Thanks, …
