This module contains the following type of information on Oracle Beehive Conferencing:
This section contains information on the known limitations and workarounds related to Oracle Beehive Conferencing, and contains the following topics:
Supported and Required Versons for Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.6.0 JavaFX Conferencing Client
Sun Solaris Does Not Support Oracle Beehive Voice Conferencing
Recommendation to Install Voice Conferencing Media Server on Separate Computer
Recommendation on Limiting the Number of Active Speakers During Voice Conferences
Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.4.0 introduces a new Oracle Beehive JavaFX Conferencing client.
Launching the JavaFX Beehive Conferencing Client requires the latest JRE version (1.6.0.22 or later), available from the java.com web site. That update and install will occur automatically, but the end user's proxy must be configured to allow access to the java.com web site. In some cases, using a wpad file for proxy configuration may interfere with accessing the java.com site. To avoid this issue, Oracle recommends deploying the latest JRE version on the local intranet and/or making sure that users' proxies are configured without using a wpad file.
For details on deploying the required components internally, see the 2.0.1.4.0 Cumulative Patch Set Readme.
Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0.1.6.0) supports the following browsers and platforms:
Beehive Conferencing supports 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Browsers: Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9, Firefox 3.x and 4, and Apple Safari 4 and 5
Operating Systems: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion), and Linux Ubuntu 9.x
Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) is supported by the desktop Conferencing Client but not by the Java-based client
Java 1.6.0.22 or later is required
JavaFX 1.3 or later is required
Note:
This known limitation affects Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.4.3) and later for the Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit) only.Bugs 7336591 and 7338531. The Sun Solaris operating system does not support Oracle Beehive voice conferencing. To overcome this limitation on Solaris deployments, you need to install an additional instance of Oracle Beehive on a computer running a supported Linux operating system, and then point to that instance from your Solaris instance using beectl and the OwcUseRemoteMediaSessions property.
For more information, including instructions on how to configure a deployment of this kind, refer to "Configuring Remote Media Server for Oracle Beehive Conferencing" in Oracle Beehive Installation Guide for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit).
For performance reasons, Oracle recommends installing a key component of Oracle Beehive Conferencing—the Voice Conferencing Media Server—on its own dedicated computer. This recommendation applies to Oracle Beehive deployments on all supported operating systems.
For more information on how to install and configure the Voice Conferencing Media Server on its own computer, refer to the following topics, or contact an Oracle Support representative:
"Oracle Beehive Deployments with Oracle Beehive Conferencing" in the Oracle Beehive Deployment Guide
"Configuring Remote Media Server for Oracle Beehive Conferencing" in the Oracle Beehive Installation Guide for your operating system
Oracle Beehive Conferencing enables users to collaborate through multiplex voice conferences over the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Although the voice conferencing feature is available to all users, Oracle recommends that teams allow no more than six active (simultaneous) speakers during conferences. Conferences that have more than six active speakers may experience a degradation of voice quality, which may require users to stop and restart those conferences. This limitation does not apply to the number of users who listen to conferences, as Oracle Beehive Conferencing supports many simultaneous listeners without any degradation in voice quality.
Bug 8905148. If pop-up blockers are enabled in users' Web browsers, they will prevent the installation of Oracle Beehive Conferencing (desktop client) through the Oracle Beehive Conferencing Web Conference Center.
To avoid this issue, disable the pop-up blocker for your Web browser before installing Oracle Beehive Conferencing through the Web Conference Center.
