Using the Oracle Calendar desktop client, you can create and manage meetings, daily notes, day events, and tasks. If you have been granted designate rights by another user, you can create Agenda entries on that user's behalf. You can easily compare schedules or verify other users' availability using a convenient combined group view, and check scheduling conflicts before creating meetings. The Oracle Calendar desktop client includes an online Address Book enabling you to keep track of your contacts and classify them according to configurable categories.
The Oracle Calendar desktop client is available for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris.

Only Oracle Calendar users can be scheduled for meetings. However, you can send e-mail messages to external users who are not on your calendar network with an iCalendar or vCalendar attachment that contains the meeting information. See the Oracle Calendar desktop client online help for detailed instructions on how to do this.
This release of the Oracle Calendar desktop client does not support scheduling or joining Web conferences. However, you can use the Oracle Calendar Web client or Oracle Connector for Outlook to schedule Web conferences.
At the present time, Oracle Calendar does not support assigning tasks to other users.
Yes, you can specify that certain users cannot invite you to meetings, daily notes and day events. The Managing your access rights section of the Oracle Calendar desktop client online help provides instructions on how to do this.
You can set your scheduling preferences so that your name will not be included in the default list of attendees receiving e-mail notification. However, users can bypass this by entering your name in the distribution list.
The maximum size for meeting and task attachments is determined by the calendar system administrator.
The maximum number of occurrences allowed for repeating entries is determined by the calendar system administrator.
You can choose to modify one occurrence or you can modify all occurrences of a repeating entry. However, some fields cannot be modified on a per-occurrence basis. They are as follows:
Any modifications you make to the above fields will automatically apply to all occurrences of the repeating entry.
Yes, you can choose to not display the In-tray when you open your Agenda. See the Setting general preferences section of the Oracle Calendar desktop client online help for instructions.
Yes, you can enable the automatic sign-in feature which enables you to launch Oracle Calendar without having to manually sign in each time. The Oracle Calendar desktop client online help describes how to enable automatic sign-in.
You cannot delete Agenda entries that you do not own. You can, however, set your preferences to hide entries that you have declined. See the Oracle Calendar desktop client online help for information on setting your Agenda preferences.
The following arrows appear on the extreme left of your Date Control Bar as well as on the day when there are meetings outside the range:
The Oracle Calendar desktop client for Windows includes embedded help that describes the functions that can be performed from each dialog box. By default, embedded help is disabled. You can set your Agenda preferences to enable it.
You can log in to your offline Agenda and change your offline password to match your online password. Or, you can use the Password Reconciliation dialog box to replace your offline password with your online password. The Password Reconciliation dialog box opens when you try to download information from your online Agenda to your offline Agenda.
The Oracle Calendar desktop client requires a persistent connection to the network when working online. If the connection is lost, the "Server unavailable" message will appear and the application will close. To resolve this issue, you must maintain a persistent network connection when working online.
Each of the following may result in problems connecting to the server:
If a user creates a calendar entry using Oracle Connector for Outlook and attaches multiple files to the entry, a file named Mime-Encoded-Attachment.txt is attached to the entry in the Oracle Calendar desktop client instead of the files that were attached by the entry owner because currently, the desktop client supports only one attachment per entry. You can, however, view the files without any problems if you open the entry in Oracle Connector for Outlook.
The Linux client only supports postscript-compatible printers. The printer you use must be configured to interpret data in postscript format. Some printer setups interpret data as a text file, and then wrap the file in a postscript header. The result is several pages of printed postscript source code. As a workaround, you can print to file, and then use a postscript viewer to view and print the .ps file. Contact your calendar administrator for more information.
