Oracle Workspaces is a new component of Oracle Collaboration Suite. Oracle Workspaces is an online application that enables groups of users to:
Manage complex projects using workspace containers.
Share, organize and collaborate on documents in a secure environment.
Communicate easily and securely in a number of different ways: meetings, discussion forums and e-mail messages.
Collaborate in real time through Web conferencing and instant messaging.
Track the timeline and progress of a project using the workspace calendar and task list.
Manage content access through workspace roles.
By assembling the relevant content for a project, including documents, tasks, meeting archives and discussions together, workspace members have a powerful framework within which they can organize their collaborative efforts. To assist users in managing this content, Oracle Workspaces uses a role-based access control model that provides read-only or write access.
In addition, workspace administration is user-driven with minimal involvement by the global system administrator. Essentially, a workspace creator becomes the workspace administrator, enabling him to manage all workspace configuration issues such as membership and resource configuration. A user can create a workspace, add members with the appropriate roles, connect to all required resources and start collaborating without the need for intervention by a system administrator.

Note: Other new features can be obtained by applying Oracle Calendar server 10.1.2.x Cumulative Patches. These new features are listed in Section 2.2, "Oracle Calendar Server Cumulative Patches". |

The following sections describe known limitations and workarounds in Oracle Workspaces.
Real-Time Collaboration Web conferences created using Oracle Workspaces are owned by the user that created the Web conference, and not by the Oracle Workspace entity. As such, note the following limitations:
When a user is removed from an Oracle workspace, Web conferences created by the user in that workspace will not be deleted.
When the Calendar service is removed from an Oracle workspace in which Web conferences were created, the Web conferences in that workspace will not be deleted.
When an Oracle workspace is deleted, Web conferences created in that workspace will not be deleted.
When a user is deprovisioned from the Oracle Calendar server, Web conferences created by the user, in a workspace or otherwise, will not be deleted.
Workaround:
Use the Oracle Real-Time Collaboration Web Client to delete Web conferences if they are no longer needed.
When browsing through the Oracle Workspaces library, you may occasionally find old content when clicking on a link.
Workaround 1:
Right-click the link and open it in a new browser window.
Workaround 2 (Internet Explorer):
From the Internet Explorer Tools menu, select Internet Options, click the General tab, click Settings, then select Every visit to the page under Check for newer versions of stored pages.

|
The searching of files from Oracle Workspaces matches file name text only and does not match file content text. This results in improved performance and correctness for file searching. |
File content search is available from Oracle Content Services and will be available in Oracle Workspaces in a later release. |

|
If you create a link to a document inside any library through content services, you cannot view the library using Oracle Workspaces. Attempting to do so results in an error such as "An exception occurred while performing a library operation; please contact an administrator for assistance or examine the application log file for more details." |

When using Oracle Workspaces to access the properties of an Oracle Content Services file or folder that has a category with a date attribute, the following message may appear: An unexpected exception occurred. The error message is 'null'. |
This error occurs when the default date attribute for a category is used. To avoid the problem, Oracle Content Services category administrators should not assign default values for date attributes. |
