򐂰 When the SIA synchronization request is a Sametime instant message:

– When the Sametime client is not running, the request is discarded and,

therefore, lost.

– The Sametime client intercepts the SIA synchronization requests and

forwards them to the WebSphere Everyplace Access client for processing.

– All the regular Sametime instant messages are forwarded to the

Sametime connect client.

4.2 Sample scenario with server-initiated actions

This scenario sends commands to a user’s device when new e-mail messages

arrive in an inbox. After receiving this messages, the device connects to

WebSphere Everyplace Access and synchronizes the new e-mail messages.

The user in this example is Manuel. The example configures two delivery

channels for Manuel. The first delivery channel is Sametime, which is used by

the second delivery channel, SIA, to send the commands to the device.

4.2.1 Requirements for this scenario

To use this scenario, the delivery channel for Lotus Sametime must be

configured. Furthermore, the user should be part of the Intelligent Notification

Service group.

To make sure the Sametime delivery channel is configured, open the

notificationManagerConfig.xml file, which is located in ins_home\config\xml

directory, where ins_home is in the installation directory C:\Program

Files\WebSphere\INS. Sametime should be available as a delivery channel.

To be able to use Intelligent Notification Services, the user has to be a member

of the Intelligent Notification Services user group. This group is defined during

the installation. In the sample installation, it is called insusers. If the user is not a

member of this group, the user will not see the Intelligent Notification Services

tab in the portal.

To use the Mail and Calender Services, the Intelligent Notification Services user

ID needs access to all mail files that it should monitor. To ensure this access:

1. Open Lotus Notes and log in as manuel.

2. Open the mail file for manuel.
