Oracle Calendar is scalable calendaring software, based on open standards, for efficiently scheduling people and resources. Among other features, it offers a dedicated database, real-time lookups and free-time searches, multiple time zone support and UTF-8 encoding to support international deployments, e-mail and wireless alerts, multi-platform support and an extensible Authentication, Compression and Encryption (ACE) framework for enhanced security.
The Oracle Calendar server is the back end to an integrated suite of calendaring and scheduling products. Networked users can use a desktop client (Windows, Macintosh, Motif), Web client or Microsoft Outlook to manage their calendars. Mobile users can synchronize their agendas with a variety of PDAs or, with the addition of Oracle's wireless technology, can send and receive calendar entries using a mobile phone.
Oracle Calendar is part of Oracle Collaboration Suite, offering integrated e-mail, voice mail, calendaring and wireless services. For more information on the other components of Oracle Collaboration Suite, please see Oracle's Web site or consult the relevant product documentation.
This Reference Manual documents the configuration parameters and utilities included with your calendar server. This guide is directed at any administrator whose task is the installation, configuration, use and maintenance of Oracle Calendar in general and the Oracle Calendar server in particular. It is a companion volume to the Oracle Calendar Server Administrator's Guide, which documents deployment, configuration and maintenance procedures for your calendar server.
