Installing the Solaris Desktop Client

Using the Oracle Calendar desktop client, you can create and manage meetings, daily notes, day events, and tasks. If you have been granted designate rights by another user, you can create agenda entries on that user's behalf. You can easily compare schedules or verify other users' availability using a convenient combined group view, and check scheduling conflicts before creating meetings. The Oracle Calendar desktop client includes an online address book enabling you to keep track of your contacts and classify them according to configurable categories.
