This document summarizes the differences between Oracle Collaboration Suite and its documented functionality.
This document contains the following sections:
This release notes addendum provides information that is missing from the Oracle Collaboration Suite Release Notes for Release 1, Version 9.0.3, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the release notes.
Oracle Corporation periodically updates these notes as new information becomes available. The latest version can be found at Oracle Technology Network at http://otn.oracle.com
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to the disabled community. Oracle Collaboration Suite for Release 1, Version 9.0.3, supports accessibility features. To make best use of these accessibility features, Oracle Corporation recommends the following software configuration:

This section contains installation issues and workarounds.
Towards the end of the Oracle9iAS Infrastructure and the Oracle Collaboration Suite middle tier installation, you may be asked to reinsert Disk 1 and Disk 2, even if you have cycled through the CDs once. This is expected behavior.
The workaround to this issue can be found in Chapter 4 of the Oracle Collaboration Suite Installation Guide, under the "Installing Oracle Components from a Hard Drive" section.
This section contains component issues and workarounds.
The Calendar Portlet page returns the message, "This service is currently unavailable, please try later," when a user has Daily Notes or Day Events scheduled for the current day and has set the calendar display preferences to not display declined meetings.
Workaround: After installation, $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/applications/marconi/marconi-web/portlets/calendar/Calendar.jsp
must be modified where it checks for error codes in the XML code generated by the web client. Add the lines of code that appear in bold below.
if (!statusCode.equals("0x0")) // status not successful
{if(statusCode.equals("0x13205")) // user not authorized
throw new Exception("modules.common.message.LOGIN_NOT_CORRECT");
else if (statusCode.equals("0x1321d")) // ignore this error
// do nothing - XML feeder does not support daily note properly
{}else
}
throw new Exception("modules.common.message.SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE");
Internet Explorer 5.x Macintosh only.
If the default start and/or end time in the Group View is changed and then a search for a group is performed, a "No Response from Application Web Server" page appears.
To allow users to modify the time zone in the web client:
settimezone
parameter in the [LIMITS] section of /users/unison/misc/unison.ini
to TRUE.
dcmctl stop -ct ohs;dcmtl start -ct ohs
.
Netscape 7.x only.
Follow the steps below to ensure that the Printer-friendly format feature will work correctly.
The hour set in the "From" and "To" times in the Deliver reminders and notifications field in the Wireless section of the Edit Preferences page must be greater than or equal to one. For example, using 0hr 00 min will result in an error. This is only an issue when the 24-hour display format is used.
To avoid potential conflicts in the installation of other Oracle Collaboration Suite components, start the Oracle Calendar server only after you have completed the installation of all other middle tier components on the same host. After the calendar server has been started successfully, you will have to stop and restart the HTTP server hosting the Oracle Calendar web client.
In Oracle Enterprise Manager, there is no online help for the Oracle Email administration pages.
Users cannot search public e-mail distribution lists using standard fat clients such as, Netscape Communicator.
Workaround:
ldapmodify -c -v -a -D"cn=orcladmin" -w password -h ldaphost -p ldap port <<EOF dn: cn=Lists,dc=oracle,dc=com cn: Lists ref: ldap:// host:port/cn=List,dc=oracle,dc=com,cn=UM_ SYSTEM,cn=EMailServerContainer,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext objectclass: top objectclass: referral objectClass: extensibleObject EOF
ldapmodify -c -v -a -D"cn=orcladmin" -w password -h ldaphost -p ldap port <<EOF dn: cn=List,dc=oracle,dc=com,cn=UM_ SYSTEM,cn=EMailServerContainer,cn=Products, cn=OracleContext changetype: modify add: orclaci orclaci: access to entry by * (browse) orclaci: access to attr=(mail,cn) by * (read,search) EOF
ldapdelete -M -h host -p port -D"cn=orcladmin" -w password cn=Lists,dc=oracle,dc=com
ldapmodify -c -v -a -D"cn=orcladmin" -w password -h ldaphost -p ldap port <<EOF dn: cn=List,dc=oracle,dc=com,cn=UM_ SYSTEM,cn=EMailServerContainer,cn=Products, cn=OracleContext changetype: modify delete: orclaci EOF
Some buttons in the Oracle Files application (for example, table filters) do not work when using Netscape 4.7x.
Action: Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5x or above.
If a user has an invalid e-mail address, adding the user to a workspace will fail.
Action: Ensure all users have a valid e-mail address.
If a user has a multi-byte username and includes underscores within the username, they will not be able to login to Oracle Files.
Action: Ensure users with multi-byte user names do not have underscores in their names.
This problem occurs when both the infrastructure and middle-tier products are installed on the same host. Trying to start the Oracle Files domain from Oracle Enterprise Manager will fail, because of problems in resolving the location of some of the launch scripts.
Action: Use Oracle Files command line tools to start and stop the nodes and domains. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be used to manage the instance, but not to start and stop the product. The command for starting and stopping Oracle Files nodes and domains (ifsctl) is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME/ifs/files/bin
The syntax of the command is:
ifsctl domain_name
If the Oracle Ultra Search crawler log output locale is set to any multi-byte language (for example, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese), then a garbled error message appears in the administration tool schedule result page for any crawler launch error, such as invalid filter path or e-mail logon failed. Some of the error does not generate a crawler log file, and the user cannot understand the error message to correct the schedule launch problem.
This bug occurs because the Java process launching the crawler does not correctly copy back the error message returned by the crawler. It uses one thread to monitor the crawler error output, but instead of reading back one character at a time, it reads one byte at a time.
For some crawler launching errors, the crawler does not have the opportunity to generate a log file, which has the correct error message. As a result, the message returned to the schedule status page is the only message that enables the user to know the cause of the failure.
Workaround:
In Oracle Enterprise Manager, there is no online help for the Oracle Voicemail & Fax administration pages.
You can receive a wireless notification for a message received by Oracle Email. If either the subject or the sender's ID in the original message contains multi-byte characters, then these multi-byte characters are not displayed correctly in the notification.
Folder names created with non-ASCII characters will be correctly displayed, but end-users will not be able to navigate into these folders.
Help information for Oracle Wireless Modules for Files, Directory and Address Book is displayed correctly only if the users' language is set to English.
Users cannot create calendar entries using the Oracle Wireless Calendar Module if the entries contain non-ASCII characters. This may be the case if users' language is set to a language other than English.
Oracle Enterprise Manager displays all of the processes that can be managed for a middle-tier machine. When accessing the Oracle Enterprise Manager page and clicking on a middle tier machine, Oracle Wireless displays a red down arrow. The reason for this is that the Oracle Wireless server has not been started. To start the Oracle Wireless server, from your browser, point to http://machine_name:port/ptg/rm
. This automatically starts the Oracle Wireless server.
In this release, users cannot create new Oracle Calendar entries through the voice interface.
When you install Oracle Collaboration Suite into an existing Oracle Wireless environment, you upgrade the Oracle Wireless infrastructure from 9.0.2.2.0 to 9.0.2.3.0.
After upgrading the Oracle Wireless infrastructure from 9.0.2.2.0 to 9.0.2.3.0, some PL/SQL objects are left in an invalid state, and must be recompiled.
The following SQL script queries the data dictionary for invalid PL/SQL objects in the WIRELESS schema, and generates and executes the SQL statements to recompile these objects.
A PL/SQL object will be marked as invalid if it depends on a different PL/SQL object than one that was recompiled. You may need to run this script several times before all packages are valid. Run the script until it no longer produces any output (three should be the maximum number of times to run the script), then all PL/SQL objects are valid.
Workaround:
Run the following script as user SYSTEM. You may have to run this script up to three times.
set head off set echo off set feedback off set linesize 300 spool b2528460.dyn select 'alter '||object_type||' '||owner||'.'||object_name ||' compile;'||chr(10)||'show errors;' from all_objects where object_type <> 'PACKAGE BODY' and status <> 'VALID' and owner = 'WIRELESS' / select 'alter package '||owner||'.'||object_name ||' compile body;'||chr(10)||'show errors;' from all_objects where object_type = 'PACKAGE BODY' and status <> 'VALID' and owner = 'WIRELESS' / spool off set head on set feedback on @b2528460.dyn
