The following sections describe known limitations and workarounds for the Oracle Calendar server:
Section 4.1.2.1, "Multiple Oracle Calendar Server Installations with the Same Infrastructure Tier"
Section 4.1.2.3, "The aut_sasl Plug-in is No Longer Packaged with the Oracle Calendar server"
Section 4.1.2.5, "Oracle Calendar Wireless Reminders Configurable on Oracle Mobile Collaboration"
Section 4.1.2.6, "Duplicate Address Book Entries After Upgrade"
When installing the Oracle Calendar server, and pointing to an Infrastructure tier that has already been configured with a previous installation of the Oracle Calendar server, all Oracle Calendar servers must be running before beginning the new installation.
After upgrading from Oracle Calendar 9.0.3, 9.0.4.1 or 9.0.4.2 to Oracle Calendar 10.1.1, SMS alerts no longer work.
Workaround:
Create a back-up copy of the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini
file.
Open the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini
file.
Locate the [NOTIFY]
section of the file. In this section set the following configuration parameters to TRUE
, as in the following example:
alert_sms_auto = TRUE alert_url_auto = TRUE
Restart the Oracle Calendar server. For more information on restarting the Oracle Calendar server, see "Starting and Stopping the Calendar Server" in Chapter 5 of Oracle Calendar Administrator's Guide.
The Oracle Calendar server no longer supports the use of aut_sasl
as an ACE plug-in for Kerberos 4 or Kerberos 5 authentication in 10g Release 1 (10.1.1).
Workaround:
Use Kerberos 5 with the aut_gssapi
ACE plug-in for authentication. For more information about configuring the Oracle Calendar server for Kerberos 5 authentication see, "Kerberos 5 Authentication with Oracle Calendar" in Chapter 2 of Oracle Collaboration Suite Security Guide.
See Section 11.2, "Known Limitations and Workarounds in Oracle Workspaces" for information on a Calendar-related issue in Oracle Workspaces.
Wireless reminders for Oracle Calendar are no longer configurable from the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/etc/reminder
directory on the Applications tier. Oracle Calendar wireless reminders are now configurable from Oracle Mobile Collaboration.
For more information about configuring wireless reminders for Oracle Calendar see "Configuring the Messaging Server for Notifications" in Chapter 2 of Oracle Mobile Collaboration Administrator's Guide.
After upgrading to Oracle Calendar server 10g Release 1, and users' address books have been migrated to the Common Address Book, some address book entries may be duplicated. This applies to Oracle Collaboration Suite deployments only.
When reconciling the Oracle Calendar address book with the Common Address Book, Oracle Calendar server queries the existing contacts based on first name and last name in both the Oracle Calendar address book, and the Common Address Book. If a match is found, the attributes present in both address books entries are compared. If all the attribute values are equivalent, the Oracle Calendar server will merge the two entries. Conversely, if the attribute values differ, to prevent data loss, the Oracle Calendar server will create a new contact, thus creating a duplicate entry.
Note:
After upgrade, the Oracle Calendar address books are only migrated once to the Common Address Book. Consequently, duplicate entries resulting from address book migration will only occur once.For more information about the Common Address Book, see "About the Common Address Book (CAB)" in Chapter 6 of Oracle Calendar Administrator's Guide.

The following is an updated version of the Java Oracle Calendar SDK readme file (bug number 4542237).
This directory contains a few demo programs to demonstrate how to use the Java Oracle Calendar SDK.
The dynamic libraries needed by the JNI functions need to be available to the JVM. On Solaris and Linux, this implies setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable. On Windows, make sure the DLLs are found in the java.library.path system property.
For Windows in a Cygwin environment, the classpath needs to be inside a pair of quotation marks ("") and separated by semicolons (;) instead of colons (:). The following is an example of this format:
java -classpath "$ORACLE_HOME\jlib\csdk.jar;."
On HP-UX, set the SHLIB_PATH
with the shared libraries.
The following is an example of setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH for C shell on Linux:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32/:$ORACLE_HOME/ocal/lib/
Java version 1.4.2 was used to test these demo programs; earlier versions are not supported.
CSDKCalendar.java
This interactive demo program lets you use most of the Oracle Calendar SDK functionality.
The following instructions require $ORACLE_HOME to be set.
To compile:
javac -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/jlib/csdk.jar:. CSDKCalendar.java
To execute:
java -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/jlib/csdk.jar:. CSDKCalendar -h hostname:port -u user -p password
calendar.java
This small Java program outputs a user's daily agenda in iCalendar format.
The following instructions require $ORACLE_HOME to be set.
To compile:
javac -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/jlib/csdk.jar:. calendar.java
To execute:
java -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/jlib/csdk.jar:. calendar
CSDKDemo.java
This demo is an example of an object oriented wrapping approach on top of Oracle Calendar SDK.
The file src/oracledemo/CSDKDemo.java
needs to be edited with the host, user, and other relevant information before running ant. This has been tested with ant version Apache 1.6.1; earlier versions are not supported.
To compile and execute:
ant
This section summarizes release note issues associated with the Oracle Calendar application system and its components.
The following topics describe release note information common to all components of the Oracle Calendar application system.

The following table lists known issues common to the Oracle Calendar application system as a whole.
Table 4-4 Known Issues in the Oracle Calendar Application System
Description | Action | Bug Number |
---|---|---|
When the Oracle Calendar application system is stopped, started, or restarted, it takes three to five minutes for its status to be updated in Oracle Enterprise Manager. |
Use the command-line to check the status of the Oracle Calendar application system if Oracle Enterprise Manager does not seem to be up-to-date. |
4347435 |
Like all components, the Oracle Calendar server and the Oracle Calendar application system are copied to $ORACLE_HOME during installation, even if you do not choose to configure them. If you subsequently configure Oracle Calendar application system components using Oracle Enterprise Manager on a system where the Oracle Calendar server has not been configured, the operation will complete without error and the Oracle Calendar application system will be started. However, users will not be able to log on to this instance, and the Oracle Calendar application system will not be able to connect to the Oracle Calendar server. |
Correct the problem using the Oracle Calendar server group configuration assistant. Before you run the configuration assistant, set environment variables as appropriate for your system. Solaris: Set Linux: Set HP-UX: Set Set AIX: Set Once have you have set the environment variables for your system, enter the following command on one line: $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/jlib/ocal_clnt.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/ojmisc.jar:$ORACLE_HOME /lib/xmlparserv2.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/ldapjclnt10.jar oracle.calendar.server.configuration.OCalGConf -path $ORACLE_HOME -DSmgrp Password_of_DSmgrdn -DSmgrdn cn=orcladmin

The following topics describe release note information for Oracle Mobile Data Sync.
This section describes new features in Oracle Mobile Data Sync.
New device certification
Nokia 6020, 6021, 6260, 6822, 7260, 7610, 9300
Siemens C65, CX65, S65, S66, SX1
Sony Ericsson K700i, K750i, S700i, Z600
Support for per-instance details and personal notes
Oracle Mobile Data Sync now features the ability to add per-instance meeting details. When you create a recurring meeting, you can now customize the details per instance, such as a meeting agenda. You can also now add personal notes to meetings that you do not own, which will be maintained on your device, even when you next synchronize with the Oracle Calendar server.
Consistent display of multi-day events across Oracle Calendar clients
Multi-day events scheduled in Oracle Connector for Outlook will now display correctly in all Oracle Calendar clients, so that they will not appear to block off time in invitees' agendas. Note that this feature is based on device capability.
New Authentication Method
With previous versions of Oracle Mobile Data Sync (formerly known as Oracle Sync Server), users authenticated themselves using their Single Sign-On passwords. With the release of Oracle Mobile Data Sync 10.1.1, authentication using the Oracle Mobile Collaboration wireless numerical PIN is supported. Users can create this PIN on the Oracle Mobile Collaboration Wireless Preferences page.
When upgrading to Oracle Collaboration Suite 10.1.1, Single Sign-On authentication remains in place. Fresh Oracle Collaboration Suite 10.1.1 installations use PIN authentication by default. Administrators can change between the two authentication methods by editing the syncml_authcredlabel
parameter in the Oracle Calendar server unison.ini
file. For information on the syncml_authcredlabel
parameter, see "Controlling server behavior" in the Oracle Calendar Reference Manual.
Note:
Standalone installations of Oracle Mobile Data Sync (as part of the Oracle Calendar application system) do not use PIN authentication. Users must sign in with their Oracle Calendar server passwords.The following table lists known issues in Oracle Mobile Data Sync.

This section describes known limitations and workarounds for Oracle Connector for Outlook.
GAL DL members are only displayed if they have Oracle Calendar server accounts.
GAL DLs cannot be expanded on the Attendee Availability tab on the Oracle Calendar Appointment form or in the Message Recipients list. To view the list of members in a DL, select the DL and click Properties. You can also invite the DL to a meeting. After the meeting is scheduled, you can see the individual members which you can then add to your contacts.
Assigning the same e-mail address for more than one GAL entry may lead to unexpected results when scheduling meetings. Verify that each GAL entry has a unique e-mail address.
Additional storage for creating Outlook data folders of all Outlook data types — like calendar, tasks, e-mail messages, and contacts — within any IMAP folders. This feature requires the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Connector for Outlook to be connected to the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Mail server.
There are some limitations, described in the following list:
Web conferences are not supported for meetings stored as e-mail messages in the data folders you created.
Meeting requests created in these Outlook data folders are not tracked by the Oracle Calendar server. You can manually track external attendee status in your default Calendar folder in Outlook. Recipients are notified only by an e-mail message and will not receive an Outlook Meeting Request.
Timed events stored in the IMAP-based Outlook data folders can be converted to all-day events, and vice versa. This differs from the default Calendar folder in Outlook, where this conversion is not possible.
Unlike the default Calendar folder, users can be invited to meetings as either Required or Optional attendees. Because the Outlook data folders do not reside on the Oracle Calendar server, the attendee status settings are saved. However, the attendee response cannot be tracked, unless you manually change the Response setting.
Links to contacts are not preserved in the Outlook data folders, regardless of the Outlook data type. Only the contact name is displayed.
Inserting a DL within another DL is not supported in the Outlook data folders, regardless of the Outlook data type.
The following table lists known issues in Oracle Connector for Outlook.

This section describes known limitations and workarounds for Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm for Macintosh.
Oracle recommends that you synchronize your mobile devices with only one computer. Synchronizing a device with multiple computers can lead to unexpected results.
If you want to synchronize your address book, you need to download the offline files. Sign in to the Oracle Calendar desktop client once before synchronization and download the offline files when prompted.
Before you perform a synchronization, make sure you are not signed in to the Oracle Calendar desktop client.
Before you begin using Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm for Macintosh, verify that your Palm device is set to the correct date. An incorrect date leads to unexpected results when performing a synchronization.

Note:
It is important to note that this feature is only supported when transferring events from the Oracle Calendar server to your mobile device, and not the reverse.This section describes known limitations and workarounds for Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm for Windows.
Oracle recommends that you synchronize your mobile devices with only one computer. Synchronizing a device with multiple computers can lead to unexpected behavior.
If you are using a recent Palm device, you may notice that the three conduits — Date Book, To Do List, and Address — are duplicated in the form of Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts. Choosing to synchronize two conduits with similar data produces an error. For example, you should not synchronize both Calendar and Date Book. You need to disable one set of conduits (for example, Date Book, To Do List, and Address) before initiating the next synchronization.
Older Palm operating systems (for example, Palm OS 3.1-5.0) continue to synchronize their files with the Date Book, To Do List, and Address conduits. One device that uses this operating system is the Treo 600.
Newer Palm operating systems (for example, Palm OS 5.2 and higher) synchronize their files with the Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts conduits. Devices that use these operating systems include Tungsten T, Tungsten T3, Zire 31, and Zire 72.

This section describes some known behaviors and workarounds for users who collaborate with different releases of Oracle Calendar clients.
Multi-day daily notes and multi-day day events
Previous releases of the clients display multi-day daily notes and multi-day day events with a duration of one day. Users who need to know that a daily note or day event lasts longer than one day should use a repeating daily note or repeating day event rather than a multi-day daily note or multi-day day event.
Per-instance details and per-instance attachments
Previous releases of the clients only support one set of details and one attachment per meeting. Per-instance details and per-instance attachments are not visible to users working with previous client releases. If you want the same details or attachment to be included for all instances of a meeting, use the Apply to all button to make sure this is visible to users of previous client releases.
