This appendix details the parameters available to configure default event calendar profiles in the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/eventcal.ini
file. For details on how to implement event calendar profiles, see your calendar server's Administrator's Guide.
Each parameter's stated default value is used if that parameter is omitted from its configuration file. These defaults are not necessarily the optimal settings for your installation. The initialization files supplied with the software contain settings that provide a good starting point for further configuration. It is strongly recommended that for reference purposes you keep a copy, in either printed or electronic format, of these files before modification.
An event calendar is similar to a user's calendar account and can be accessed by signing in with the account password using any calendar client. The display preferences, refresh frequency and reminder preferences would apply in this case. The following table lists some of the values that can be set for event calendars. To display the complete list, use the uniuser
utility with the -eventcal
and -info
parameters. See the uniuser
documentation in Appendix F, "Calendar Server Utilities".
ShowSunday = TRUE/FALSE ShowSaturday = TRUE/FALSE
These parameters determine whether or not these days will be part of the week view on the client. The default is TRUE
.
TimeFormat = 1/2
This parameter determines whether or not time is displayed in military (24h) or standard (AM/PM) time. The default is 2
-- AM/PM.
StartDay = <time of day>
This parameter determines the first time slot displayed in the event calendar's agenda (day & week view only). Earlier time slots can still be viewed by using the vertical scroll bar. This does not affect the regular business hours of the event calendar's agenda. The default is 08h00.
EndDay = <time of day>
This parameter is used to define the last time slot displayed in a event calendar's agenda (day & week view only), although it has little effect given that other settings, such as StartDay
, time slot increments and spacing height, also affect how little or how much of the day is displayed. Later time slots can still be viewed by using the vertical scroll bar. This does not affect the regular business hours of the event calendar's agenda. The default is 18h00.
TimeInc = <time_in_minutes>
This parameter defines the time slot increment for the day & week views. Adjusting the value of this parameter affects how much of the day is displayed on the screen. Only the following values can be specified: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 (minutes). The default is 15 minutes.
RefreshFrequency = <time_in_minutes>
This parameter sets the refresh frequency of the client in minutes. A value of 0 would effectively disable the refresh. The default is 15 minutes.
Language = en (English) fr (French) it (Italian) es (Spanish) fi (Finnish) de (German) pt (Portuguese) ja (Japanese) zh-CN (Chinese) ko (Korean) sv (Swedish) pt-BR (Brazilian Portuguese) nl (Dutch)
Determines the language used for server-side reminder messages. Consult Chapter 6 of your calendar Administrator's Guide for details on server-side reminders and user languages.
DefaultReminder = 0/1/2
If set to 1, the default reminder for agenda entries and day events is set to Pop-up Reminder. If set to 2, it is Pop-up and Audible (beep). For tasks, only the default Task Due Reminder is set to Pop-up Reminder, the default task Start Reminder is NOT set. Furthermore, The daily notes default reminder is also not set. The default is 0, or no reminders.
TimeBeforeReminder = <time_in_minutes>
This parameter is used to set the default reminder time. In other words, a value of 24 would mean that default reminders would appear 24 hours before the start of the event. Only the following values can be specified: 0, 2, 5, 10, 60, 120, 240 (minutes); 12, 24, 48, 96 (hours); 7, 14, 31 (days).
ViewNormalEvent = YES/NO/TIME ViewPersonalEvent = YES/NO/TIME ViewConfidentialEvent = YES/NO/TIME ViewNormalTask = YES/NO (user profiles only) ViewPersonalTask = YES/NO (user profiles only) ViewConfidentialTask = YES/NO (user profiles only)
The preceding parameters determine the default security rights granted to users when creating events or tasks of these designations in the event calendar. For example, if ViewNormalEvent
were set to TIME
, only the time slot of the event would be visible to users, not its title, location or description. Conversely, if ViewNormalEvent
were set to YES
, all details of the event would be visible to users. If ViewNormalEvent
were set to NO
, the event would not be visible at all to users.
The default value for all of the preceding parameters is NO
.
All details of a public event are always visible to users. There is no way to modify this behaviour using these parameters.
The ViewNormalEvent
and ViewNormalTask
settings map to the "Normal" Access Level on the client.
The ViewPersonalEvent
and ViewPersonalTask
settings map to the "Personal" Access Level on the client.
The ViewConfidentialEvent
and ViewConfidentialTask
settings map to the "Confidential" Access Level on the client.
TimeZone = <time zone>
This parameter is used to define a different time zone for the event calendar.
A designate is a user assigned the right to modify the contents of an event calendar.
This section allows you to define designates for event calendars. Note that designates must exist in the database beforehand, and that there is a maximum of 10 designates per section.
Designate0 = <designate_name> Designate1 = <designate_name> Designate2 = <designate_name> ... Designate9 = <designate_name>
The <designate_name> argument is a string of the form "key=value/key=value/...", where "key" is one of those listed in the following table, and "value" is any string. Both "key" and "value" are case insensitive. The "value" string may be terminated by a wild card symbol (*). If a forward slash "/" is to be included in a string, it should be escaped with the character "\" to prevent it from being interpreted as a key-value pair delimiter - i.e. "S=Hoopla/OU1=R\/D"
.
If, in a UNIX environment, a shell will be processing the string (e.g. the string is provided on the command line or is passed as an argument to the utility), the string should be enclosed in quotation marks. Furthermore, if characters meaningful to the shell are included in the string, they may need to be escaped (i.e. preceded by the escape character "\") to prevent the shell from interpreting them.
Note: If the ID key-value pair is specified in the user argument, all other key-value pairs specified along with it are ignored. |
Some example specifications are: "S=Kilpi/G=Eeva", "S=B*/G=Nicole/O=Acme", "O=Acme/ID=1111/OU1=authors", "S=Austen/G=Jane/EMAIL=mr_darcy@freemail.org"
