For more information about new features in Oracle Calendar 10g Release 1 (10.1.2.2), see "New in This Release" in Chapter 1 of Oracle Calendar Administrator's Guide.
The following sections describe known limitations and workarounds for the Oracle Calendar server:
Section 5.1.2.1, "Multiple Oracle Calendar Server Installations with the Same Infrastructure Tier"
Section 5.1.2.2, "SMS Notifications Not Delivered in an SSL Environment"
Section 5.1.2.3, "The aut_sasl Plug-in is No Longer Packaged with the Oracle Calendar server"
Section 5.1.2.5, "Oracle Calendar Wireless Reminders Configurable on Oracle Mobile Collaboration"
Section 5.1.2.6, "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.
Users will not receive SMS notifications in an SSL environment because the Oracle Calendar notification listener URL was not properly registered. Apply the associated workaround only if SMS notifications are not being delivered from Oracle Calendar server in an SSL environment.
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 and modify the appropriate parameters to reflect the following values:
alert_url = x-oracle-calendarNotificationListener://<ApplicationsTierHost>:<WirelessNotificationEngPort>?protocolVersion=2 alert_sms = TRUE alert_sms_auto = FALSE alert_url_auto = FALSE
|
Note: The value for<WirelessNotificationEngPort> can be found by looking for "Wireless PIM Notification Dispatcher port" in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini configuration file on your Applications tier. |
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 (10.1.2 or later).
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 12.2, "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.
Oracle Calendar does not support Arabic.
Oracle Calendar wireless notifications are not enabled by default. The XMS center requires the following workaround.
Workaround:
Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Click the Applications tier link.
Click the Wireless link.
Click the Site Administration tab. If the "Component Configuration" section is not expanded, expand it by clicking the "plus sign".
Click XMS configuration.
Under XMS Center, ensure that Enable XMSC is checked.
Restart the wireless component.
After upgrading from the Oracle Calendar server 9.0.3.1, users who previously received SMS notifications no longer receive SMS notifications on their mobile devices.
Workaround:
All users who are no longer receiving SMS notifications should follow these instructions:
Login to Oracle Mobile Collaboration Preferences page with an effected user account by accessing the following URL:
http://<ApplicationsTier>:<port>/ocsmobile/welcome.uix

Deselect the Enable wireless services and Automatically notify when Entries are created or modified check boxes.
Click the OK button.
Click Preferences at the top right corner of the browser again, then click the Wireless tab.
Select the Enable wireless services and Automatically notify when Entries are created or modified check boxes.
Click the OK button.
SMS notifications should now be delivered.
When upgrading from Oracle Calendar server 9.0.4.2.X in standalone mode, if the [DOMAIN] section of the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini configuration file includes a comment symbol (#), the [DOMAIN] section will be removed during the upgrade process.
|
Note: No loss of functionality will be apparent when the section and associated parameters are removed fromunison.ini file. |
Workaround:
Before upgrading the Oracle Calendar server:
Open the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/misc/unison.ini configuration file.
Remove any comment symbols (#) from the [DOMAIN] section.
Perform the upgrade.
Reinstate any comment symbols (#) removed in Step 0 before starting the Oracle Calendar server.

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.
Section 5.4.1.1, "Known Limitations and Workarounds in the Oracle Calendar Application System"
Section 5.4.1.2, "Known Issues in the Oracle Calendar Application System"
The following sections describe known limitations and workarounds in the Oracle Calendar application system.
The Oracle Calendar application system does not support Arabic.
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. (4466400)
Correct the problem using the Oracle Calendar server group configuration assistant. Before you run the configuration assistant, set environment variables for your system as follows.
Set path=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\ocas\bin;%path%
Once have you have set the environment variables, enter the following command on one line.
%JAVA_HOME%\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 -DSmgrdn cn=orcladmin
The following table lists known issues common to the Oracle Calendar application system as a whole.

|
Note: This feature is available only with version 10.1.2 or later of the Oracle Calendar server. |
When you book a resource, you can choose to automatically fill in the "Location" field of the meeting with the name of the resource.
Per-instance possibilities
You can create personal notes - information only you or a designate can see - in an entry, or in selected instances of a repeating entry.
You can attach a file to an instance of a repeating event.
|
Note: These features are available only with version 10.1.2 or later of the Oracle Calendar server. |
Other
Longer names for resources, event titles, and locations are supported.
Administrators can now configure whether or not to highlight remote users with an indicator (such as 'R' in English).
Download of Microsoft Powerpoint (PPT) and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) attachments is now supported.
|
Notes:
|
In some secure configurations of the Oracle Calendar Web client, attachments may not be cached on the client's disk (for security and privacy reasons). Due to a bug in Internet Explorer, this prevents users from opening attachments inline using that browser. For example, opening a text attachment from an entry may fail (the default text editor application for the user will launch, and then generate an error that the file could not be found). (4704943)
If you have deployed SSL, attempting to download attachments to disk may also fail.
Documentation of the details of this Microsoft Internet Explorer bug can be found in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
"Internet Explorer Cannot Download" Error Message When You Use an HTTPS URL to Open an Office Document or PDF File:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812935
INFO: Prevent Caching When You Download Active Documents over SSL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815313
Internet Explorer file downloads over SSL do not work with the cache control headers:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323308
There are two workarounds available for this issue; you can use a different browser, or, you can relax caching settings. For detailed instructions for relaxing caching settings, see "Security Issues Related to Microsoft Internet Explorer" in Chapter 2 of Oracle Collaboration Suite Security Guide.

The following topics describe release note information for Oracle Mobile Data Sync.
This section describes new features in Oracle Mobile Data Sync.
|
Note: Other new features included with this release are described in Chapter 2, "Oracle Collaboration Suite Cumulative Patch Release Notes". |
New device certification
Nokia 6020, 6021, 6230i, 6260, 6680, 6822, 7260, 7270, 7610, 9300
Siemens C65, CX65, S65, S66, SX1
Sony Ericsson K700i, K750i, S700i, S710a, Z600, Z500, Z800i
Blackberry 6200, 7200
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 10g, 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 10gR1, Single Sign-On authentication remains in place. Fresh Oracle Collaboration Suite 10gR1 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. |

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.

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.

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.
