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.
