Using APNS mode for auto sync
You can set HCL Traveler for Apple devices to use APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) mode for auto sync for the To Dos and Verse apps.
Based on the device configuration, APNS messages can cause the device to change the app badge count, show an alert, and so on. For the Verse app, APNS messages can also cause the app to sync in the background.

settings. See the
notes.ini
settings documentation for further information. - TIMESTAMP
- The time that the server sent the message. Number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 (epoch time).
- UNID
- Domino UNID of the document to which this alert refers.
- LGUID
- Sync ID of the document to which this alert refers.
- FLAGS
- Change flags, indicating which applications need to sync. APNS messages only contain applications that need to be synced or security operations that need to be performed. There are no user names or contents (mail, calendar, contacts, journal or ToDos) contained in the message. APNS messages only trigger the device to perform a sync for the given applications or take the appropriate security actions, at which point the device receives the relevant sensitive information, such as user names and data contents.
Traveler utilizes HTTP/2 for communication with Apple's APNS servers. APNS is enabled on the server by default, but it can be configured as needed using the settings described in Notes.ini settings and Push messaging through a proxy.
