15.1 What You Should Know About Events Connections

The Events service provides group calendars that you can use to schedule meetings, appointments, and any other type of team or group occasion. The Events service also Note: Configuration changes for the Events service, through Fusion Middleware Control or using WLST, are not dynamic so you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed for your changes to take effect. See Section 8.2, Starting and Stopping Managed Servers for WebCenter Application Deployments. 15-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter provides you with a personal calendar where you can schedule events that are not related to a particular Space. Personal calendars are available through a Microsoft Exchange Server, therefore a connection to that server is required. You can register the Microsoft Exchange Server connection through the Fusion Middleware Control Console or using WLST. You must mark a connection as active for the service to work. You can register additional Microsoft Exchange Server connections, but only one connection is active at a time. To view personal events in WebCenter Spaces, the user must have an account on the Microsoft Exchange Server.
