| Conduits for PDA synchronization |
|
| Devices | The following devices have been certified with Oracle Connector for Outlook. Similar devices may work but the end-user experience may vary.
Pocket PC
Palm
Blackberry 6710 - Wireless Handheld |
A supported Outlook version must be installed on a supported platform
Windows NT, 2000, and XP require you to have administrative privileges on your computer in order to install Oracle Connector for Outlook
Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 must be installed in Corporate/Workgroup mode. Verify the Outlook configuration by choosing Tools > Options > Mail Services > Reconfigure Mail Support.
To avoid losing information, Oracle Corporation recommends that you synchronize your offline folders before upgrading
Exit all Windows applications before installing Oracle Connector for Outlook.
If you are upgrading from a previous version and want to add or change the languages installed, run con_outlook_904x.exe followed by the switch /Lang. Otherwise, just double-click the con_outlook_904x.exe file. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
|
Note: To avoid conflict between POP3 and IMAP4 protocols, do not set up Microsoft's Internet Mail or Exchange service providers in the same profile as Oracle Connector for Outlook. |
When run in silent mode, the Oracle Connector for Outlook installer consults a preset configuration file for all the information normally provided by the user through the installation dialogs. Available with Oracle Connector for Outlook is a sample file, called ctoc.ini. Use this file as a template, changing its parameter values to suit your installation. For more details on the parameters available, see Table G-2. Any parameters for which you do not supply a value and that do not have default values are prompted for at first startup.
To install Oracle Connector for Outlook from the command line without requiring any user interaction, run the product self-extracting executable with the -s option, and specify the configuration file to use with the -cfg option.
For example, where both the installer and configuration file exist in the root directory of drive C:, and the installer file name is con_outlook_904.exe, perform the following:
C:\> con_outlook_904.exe -s -cfg ctoc.ini
Two optional flags can also be specified:
-f
If you specify -f in your command line, the Oracle Connector for Outlook installer attempts to remove any older versions of the product it finds before installing the current version.
-1
If you specify -1 (the numeral 1) in your command line, only the first part of the Oracle Connector for Outlook installation runs, copying necessary files and registering Oracle Connector for Outlook as an available service provider. The second part of the installation, in which Oracle Connector for Outlook is added to a profile, is not run.
|
Note: After running the silent install once, subsequent silent installations that do not specify the-f option only perform the first part of the installation, copying necessary files and registering Oracle Connector for Outlook as an available service provider. The installer does not continue with the second part of the installation. |
For more information about large-scale deployments of Oracle Connector for Outlook, contact Oracle Consulting.
The following table contains a list of available parameters for Oracle Connector for Outlook silent installation, organized alphabetically by section. Listed default values are applied when the value of the parameter in question is blank or the parameter is left out of the configuration file completely.
All lines beginning with a semicolon (;) in the configuration file are comments not read by the installer.

|---|---|
| Operating system |

This section describes how to install Oracle Calendar desktop client for Windows.
Oracle Calendar desktop client for Windows 9.0.4 offers silent and customizable installations to ease large-scale deployment. The desktop client incorporates MSI installer technology to offer configurable levels of user interaction ranging from the regular interactive install to a completely silent behind-the-scenes procedure with no user feedback or prompts at all.
Unzipping the self-extracting executable cal_win_904x.exe will extract the following: setup.exe, Oracle Calendar 9.0.4.msi, some CAB files, and a folder containing the unison.ini file. The Oracle Calendar 9.0.4.msi file is the main installer package that runs in the MSI engine. This file cannot be run directly because it depends on the InstallShield setup scripts which are available only through the setup.exe file. The CAB files contain the compressed data to be installed on the end user's machine. The only file left uncompressed is the template unison.ini file. The setup.exe file is the InstallShield wrapper that runs the MSI installer engine with the Oracle Calendar 9.0.4.msi file. The setup.exe file is also responsible for upgrading the user's machine if it does not already have the MSI installer engine.
Note that users installing Oracle Calendar must have administrator privileges on the machine. Although this is the default setting for Windows 98 and Windows ME, it may not be the case for multi-user operating systems such as Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Administrator privileges on the machine are required to write to the registry and install certain required files.
The installer will upgrade any previous versions of CorporateTime, OpenTime and Oracle Calendar on the user's machine. The installer will also upgrade any beta versions of Oracle Calendar desktop client for Windows 9.0.4.
To configure the level of user interaction, run the self-extracting executable cal_win_904x.exe file from the command line with the /s option. In addition, use the /v option to specify any information that should be passed by the InstallShield wrapper to the Windows Installer. The value of this option is a string specified inside double-quotes, which should provide a nested flag to control the level of user feedback given by the Windows Installer. Flags available include:
/qn to specify a completely silent installation
/qb to provide basic user feedback such as progress indicators during the installation, but prevent users from modifying any installation parameters or information. For example, users can see the progress indicator while files are being copied but not allowed to specify the destination path.
For more details on the levels of user interaction available with Windows Installer's /q option, see the Windows Installer documentation.
In the string value provided for the /v option, it is recommended to also include the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE parameters which instruct the installer to upgrade any Alpha or Beta versions of the software that may already be present on the system.
The basic recommended command line for a completely silent installation is therefore constructed as follows:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=voums"
|
Note: The/v option should always be the last one specified on the command line. |
Most calendar preferences and setup information can be specified in the client-side unison.ini file. When you install the application, you can provide the installer with a template unison.ini file preset with a variety of preferences and other information. The template unison.ini file is used only when no personal unison.ini file exists. Once such a personal file exists for any given user, subsequent client upgrades will NOT remove it or replace it. In other words, the ability to preset unison.ini preferences through the client installer is only available for users who have not yet used any version of Oracle Calendar on the current machine. For those users, Oracle Calendar will simply use their old set of preferences. There are two reasons for this behavior:
On multi-user operating systems such as Windows NT and 2000, the user upgrading the application cannot necessarily view and modify files in other users' profile folders, where the individual unison.ini files are stored. In other words, the installer cannot locate all the unison.ini files on the current machine in order to replace them with the new template.
All user preferences not stored directly in the calendar server or specified in the template unison.ini file would be lost if the user's personal unison.ini were replaced.
