For more information about Oracle Calendar user deprovisioning, see the "Calendar User Account Deprovisioning" section in Chapter 7, "Managing Calendar User Accounts".
Configure automatic log rotation based on size or age of log files. Logs can automatically be moved to a specified location by configuring parameters in the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini file. Rotated log files can also be automatically deleted based on size or age.
For more information about Oracle Calendar's automatic log rotation feature, see the "Managing Log File Rotation" section in Chapter 14, "Calendar Server Maintenance and Monitoring".
Oracle Calendar server can now automatically discover host and URL information for different components are server startup. Automatic service registry and discovery parameters can be configured in the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini file and are denoted by the _auto suffix.
For more information about these parameters, see "Calendar Server Parameters" in Chapter 3 of Oracle Calendar Reference Manual.
Oracle Calendar server can now be stopped and started using Oracle Process Management and Notification (OPMN). Use the opmnctl command with appropriate options to start, stop and check the status of the Oracle Calendar server.
For more information about starting and stopping Oracle Calendar Server using OPMN, see the "Starting and Stopping the Oracle Calendar Server" section in Chapter 5, "Introduction to Oracle Calendar Server Administration".
When deployed with Oracle Collaboration Suite, the Oracle Calendar server is now integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control.

Moreover, the Oracle Calendar administrator can now be accessed directly through a link from Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Oracle Calendar server now stores user address books in a Common Address Book (CAB) on Oracle Internet Directory. After address book migration, users will be able to access their Common Address Books from Oracle Calendar clients as well as other Oracle Collaboration Suite component clients.
For more information about the Common Address Book, see the "About the Common Address Book (CAB)" section in Chapter 6, "Using Oracle Calendar with DirectoryServers"
Oracle Calendar server can be configured to warn and protect against denial of service attacks by configuring parameters in the [ENG] section of the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini file.
