Preface

Intended Audience

This Application Developer's Guide primarily addresses the application developer audience. It provides an introduction to Oracle9iAS Unified Messaging and describes the management tasks an Oracle9iAS Unified Messaging server administrator performs. PL/SQL programming knowledge is also helpful in implementing PL/SQL APIs and server-side rules.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle Corporation is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
