PocketMac GoBetween for Lotus Notes

Just keeping this alive - I am like all other poor buggers; my error is "Failed to start Lotus Notes server".

A week or so ago, support sent me a new LNDOServer file which I should replace in the application package. Which I did, but had absolutely no improvement.

Methinks they should stop selling a flawed product, as it seems pretty obvious it does not work for anyone!

They sent me the same thing and I had the same exact results.

And I agree. :-/

Are there no other options?

ALL: please your NON working configs in the new top level post

I am sorry, what do you need?

After several weeks waiting for an answer of my trouble ticket, they have closed the request for about two weeks. I asked them "why", because there is no solution for the corresponding problem. Last week I received their answer:

"A closed request does not mean the issue is solved. Our developers are working to address this problem.
I have your email address and will notify you when the next update is available. We hope to have an update available within two months."

Should we really see a working release in July?
The hope never dies!

Does anyone know if there is ANY other software that will actually perform this function as described? I am REALLY surprised that this company decided to release this software without testing. I have yet to hear that its working for anyone.

Shady business practices at best. I would like to be able to say I found different software and then start the relief effort of trying to get my money back. I have a feeling there is a small chance in **** of that happening.

This is NOT a solution, but a mere workaround, but at least it does part of what I need (which in my case is to sync my Lotus Notes Calendar & Address Book with my phone's)

Hi All,

Bit frustrating this sync stuff and gobetween.

For calendar I'm now doing the following:
1) In Notes make export of calendar file (be sure have all items tab open) in ics format
2) double click on the ics-file and it opens in iCal
3) accept in calendar in iCal
4) export in iCal the calendar file (other name)
5) import that file in Notes

Problem is when calendar has more than 500 items, meaning I need to archive 2007 etc.
Works as a sync, and I'm working now to make an Automator so it is a push of button. Issue currently to make a good Automator.
I will try similar for adressbook items.

Not ideal but it should work until the gobetween issues are solved to have synced data between iCal / Notes / iPhone (can't wait for 3G 😉 )

Under:
Lotus Notes>Security>User Security>Security Basics
Enable "Don't prompt for password from other Notes-based programs (reduces security)".

Syncing goodness ever since!!

brenthals - is it working without problems now? I'd like to purchase this, but not until it's reliable.

Boy do I wish I had read all of this before purchasing....

I now have two tickets outstanding:
1) Password issue - Workaround - After setting "Don't prompt for password from other Notes-based programs (reduces security)", and ensuring Notes is open during Sync I get further, but the app then crashes and after relaunch I get
2) Date issue - No workaround yet

I have a feeling that a lot of this is down to Notes versions and Language settings. Mine are:
Notes: 7.0.3
GoBetweenLNISync: 4.0.2
UK English

Ticket responses from PocketMac have been good, but no resolution and just the response:
"We are working on an update for this. I will let you know when the update is available. I do apologize for the inconvenience."

Looks like the issues have been around for nearly 3 months now. Thats a long time for some serious issues!

Anyone who is using this product ok, can you post versions and language??

Good luck everyone - I'll keep poking support for a little while longer before asking for my money back.

So far it's working without issue. I'm on Notes 7.0.3, PocketMac Sync 1.1.3, and Mac OS X 10.5.3 (forgot to change that version in last post)

I just got a note back from PocketMac support that it is going to be 3-6 months before they have the issue fixed. Disappointing.

Same here:

"Thank you for your patience. We are estimating an update is 3-6 months away. Would you like a refund?"

brenthals ,
Looks like you are the sole Sync-er.

I have my air setup I think the same as you but no work. Can you please give more detail on how you have sync success? Sync with note running/not running? Using Local Replica? In SyncManager what are your advanced settings?
I just want the Calendar to sync!!
