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 RMX are:
• 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.
