5.2  YaST Proposal Error

When you run the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Installation program in YaST, you might see the 
following error:

The proposal contains an error that must be resolved before continuing

This error indicates that you clicked 

Next

 without providing the configuration information for your 

Synchronizer system. Instead of clicking 

Next

, click 

Change > Mobility Pack Configuration

, then 

provide the configuration as prompted. After you provide the configuration information, click 

Next

.

5.3  YaST Hangs When Browsing Files in the Installation 
Program

When you run the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Installation program on SLES 11 SP1, if you 
browse to and select a file, the Installation program might hang. This can occur if you try to browse 
to and select any of the following files during installation:

Š

Mobility Pack ISO file

Š

GroupWise trusted application key file

Š

Certificate file

As a workaround, type the full path and filename for the file instead of browsing to it.

5.4  Required Python Package Version

If you already have Python packages installed on the server where you are installing the Data 
Synchronizer Mobility Pack, the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Installation program needs to 
update the existing packages, rather than install new packages. This does not happen by default.

When you run the Installation program, you are prompted if packages need to be updated. Enter 

1

 

for 

Solution 1

 to update each package.

5.5  Mobility Pack Installation Program Fails on a 32-Bit/x86 
Processor

The Mobility Pack must be installed on a server with a 64-bit/x86 processor. If you try to install it on 
a server with a 32-bit/x86 processor, the Mobility Pack Installation program does not detect the 
problem. It tries to run, but it cannot run correctly. 

If the behavior of the Mobility Pack Installation program does not match the installation instructions 
provided in the 

Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Installation Guide

, make sure that you are 

installing the Mobility Pack on a server that meets the documented system requirements.

There are currently no plans to make the Mobility Pack available in a 32-bit version.
