Reservations

The Reservations option enables users to schedule conferences. These conferences can be

launched immediately or become ongoing, at a specified time on a specified date.

Scheduling a conference reservation requires definition of conference parameters such as

the date and time at which the conference is to start, the participants and the duration of the

conference.

Scheduled conferences (Reservations) can occur once or repeatedly, and the recurrence

pattern can vary.

The maximum number of reservations per Collaboration Server is:

• RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 - 2000

• RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 - 2000

• RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000 - 4000

Guidelines

System

•By default, the Scheduler is enabled by a System Flag. The flag prevents potential

scheduling conflicts from occurring as a result of system calls from external scheduling

applications such as ReadiManager®, SE200 CMA™ 4000/5000 and others via the API.

If an external scheduling application is used, the flag INTERNAL_SCHEDULER must

be manually added to the System Configuration and its value must be set to NO.

For more information see "Modifying System Flags” on page 22-1.
