Hello All

I have a unique question about Traveler. Up until this morning, the mobile admin asked me about the following error:

[1BAC:0229-1D28] 09/05/2018 10:35:05   Traveler: SEVERE  xxxxx There was an issue sending the notification message to the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) server. 3 attempts to re-establish the connection have failed, so thessage cannot be sent. You can test network connectivity including firewall settings by trying https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send in a web browser on this server. Exception Thrown: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect 

So he got on the hotline with the netwrok team and they granted the traffic outbound. All fine and dandy. Yet if you click on this link https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send  the google page has a disclaimer that GCM is moving Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) (The GCM server and client APIs are deprecated and will be removed as soon as April 11, 2019).

Has anyone experienced this before?

Has anyone perhaps contacted IBM and asked if Traveler going forward with make allowance for this?

Or, is there a way to fix this somehow?

Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed. And if there is a way to get this relevant information to the IBM Traveler think-tank, let me know.

 

Thanks in advance

Jason
