Tell command reference

A list of all tell commands and their effects.

Note: Most tell commands (those that have not already been written to a file by default) will accept a "-f <full path to text file>" option to write the tell command output to that text file instead of the Domino console. This and other debug information can be found by using "tell traveler debughelp".
Table 1. Tell commands
Command Result

Active

Displays the users who are currently syncing with the server. For more information, see User commands.

AIS show

Shows the Adaptive Initial Sync (AIS) state per application for all users who are not already in a normal state. Possible states are:
  • INITIAL_STATE - waiting for the devices to sync the initial, restricted set of data
  • INITIAL_COMPLETED_STATE - The devices have completed the sync of the initial, restricted set of data and are now eligible for promotion
  • PROMOTE_NEXT_PS_STATE - Ready to be promoted to the full device filter settings
  • PROMOTED_STATE - Prime sync and devices syncs are running to apply the full device filter settings to all devices.
  • NORMAL_STATE - AIS completed and the devices are using their respective device filter settings. Users in this state are not listed in the results.

Available on/off

Allows an administrator to make a server unavailable from servicing requests. Issuing tell traveler available off sets the availability index to a negative value. The effect is that the server will not service new device requests, and all new session requests must be handled by other HCL Traveler servers in the HA pool. If there are existing user sessions on this server, they will eventually move to other servers over time until only the users explicitly bound to the server remain. This can be useful when trying to troubleshoot a server or in preparation for taking a server offline for maintenance or other purposes.

BannedDoc show DocID UserID

Shows the specified banned document. DocID is the UNID or a noteID of a document.

BannedDoc show * UserID

Lists all of the banned documents for the specified user.

BannedDoc show *

Lists all of the banned documents on the system.

BannedDoc Remove DocID UserID

Removes the ban for a particular document. DocID is the UNID or a noteID of a document.

BannedDoc Remove * UserID

Removes the ban for all banned documents for the specified user.

BannedDoc Remove *

Removes the ban for all banned documents on the server.

BannedDoc Add DocID UserID

Bans a particular document from syncing. DocID is the UNID or a noteID of a document.

BannedDoc dump

Attempts to dump all of the banned documents to DumpDoc.nsf. This should only be used if providing HCL support the documents in question for troubleshooting purposes.

Bind move UserID Moves the user to the server but does not bind them there (this is equivilant to doing both Enable and Disable).
Bind balanceUsers Balances the users acress the servers that are alive and reachable. The number of devices or other user characteristics are not taken into consideration.

Bind show

Shows which users have been explicitly bound to a server. By default this list will be empty.

Bind showall

Shows all of the registered users in the High Availability pool, along with which server they are running on.

Bind enable UserID

Binds the user to the local server. Note that once this user is bound to a server, if that server becomes unavailable, then the user will not failover to another server in the pool.

Bind disable UserID

Removes the binding for the user.

Cleanup option

Performs Traveler database cleanup according to <option> specified. Option can be:
  • Show - Displays the cleanup actions that would performed but does not execute the cleanup
  • Users - Removes all devices where the last sync time is older than the user cleanup timeout

Adds the device.

Security AllStatus

Displays status of all users and devices.

Security approval flag device user

Security Delete device user

Removes device security data from HCL Traveler.

It is no longer mandatory for administrators to manually perform tell traveler security delete to remove the device security administration data from HCL Traveler after a device has been deleted or reset. Starting with version 9.0.1.10, HCL Traveler will automatically quarantine deleted devices and move them into the deleted state. These deleted devices will not be seen in the "Devices" view, however they will continue to be seen in the "Devices Security" view for up to 30 days. HCL Traveler keeps deleted device security data for the 30 day period in order to
  1. Publish device security data to the HCL Traveler Web Administration Console so that Administrators can take further action on those deleted devices.
  2. Allow HCL Traveler Administration REST API consumers query for a list of all deleted devices.
  3. Allow sufficient time for any security actions taken against the device to complete.

If there is no device activity for 30 days, the corresponding device security data will be automatically removed. This means any security action previously completed or still pending against the device will be lost. However, if a deleted or reset device happens to connect and/or sync with HCL Traveler within the 30 day window, it will be moved to an active state and will resurface in the "Devices" view.

A notes.ini setting, NTS_ADMIN_CLEANUP_TIMEOUT, is available to customize the 30 day period for security data removal. If an administrator wants the security data to be immediately removed during device deletion, they can assign a value of 0 to this ini setting. This forces HCL Traveler to remove both the device and its security data when tell traveler delete or tell traveler reset is performed. Any previous security (such as approval, deny, or wipe) actions taken against the device will be immediately lost. In environments where NTS_ADMIN_CLEANUP_TIMEOUT = 0 has been set, we recommend not to delete a device immediately after a security action has been issued. Instead, wait for the server and/or device to complete the action before deleting the device. For example, if a device or application wipe has been issued and the device is deleted immediately following that wipe, even before the device acknowledges the wipe, the wipe action will be lost from HCL Traveler.
Note: There is still no explicit indication available on the HCL Traveler Administration UI to highlight devices in the deleted state. If a device is deleted, it will not appear in the "Devices" view.

Support <case number> log file list

Performs a systemdump, creates a log file collection, and automatically uploads it to HCL Support.

Where number is a properly formatted case number.

Where log file list is a list of files to upload. If log file list is not present, the server performs a systemdump, log collection and uploads the resulting HCL Traveler log archive. If log file list is present, a new log collection is not performed, but instead each log file is uploaded for this case. log file list can be one or more file names, separated by spaces with \" surrounding the file name if it contains spaces itself. A quotation mark (") by itself is not sufficient, the tell command processor in Domino® will strip it off; it must be \" and included in the command usage details. You would typically only ever use the command to upload a specific zip file if a previous FTP attempt had failed. The file names can be relative files names (in the Traveler logs directory) or fully qualified file names including path information.

Note: The command tell traveler pmr is deprecated. Prior to HCL Traveler 10, the notes.ini NTS_PMRUPLOAD_VALIDATION=false must be set to allow a case number to be used with the pmr command.
