UAH Calendar Server (Netscape / Oracle Calendar Server): calendar.uah.edu
TO BE
DISCONTINUED EARLY SPRING TERM 2008
The Netscape / Oracle Calendar Server or
"Campus Calendar Server" will be replaced by a calendar function provided by
the new Banner Luminis portal sometime the Spring term 2008. If you
are a current user of the "Campus Calendar Server" don't worry, we aren't
going to rip the rug out from under you. You may still request an
account for yourself or your staff members, but you need to keep in mind
that you will need to transition to the new system sometime after January
2008.
We think you'll like the new calendar
features of Banner Luminis, but we did want to let you in on the news that we
will be transitioning to that system early next year. More information on
the new calendar system along with Banner Luminis will be provided as it is
appropriate.
General Information
(Campus Calendar Server):
Computer & Network Services
provides online
calendar services via Oracle Corporation's popular Calendar Server software.
This service should be
particularly attractive to university employees who need to keep track of
meeting times and other agenda related information. This service is
available "free of charge" to UAH faculty and staff employees,
although an user account and password are required in order to access the
system. Oracle's Calendar Server is recognized as an industry leader
and offers it's users 7/24 access to agenda information via a standard web
browser or through their "FREE" calendar client
software.
Requesting an Account on the
UAH Calendar Server:
The account request
process is simple. Simply send an email message to our Computer & Network Services
Help Desk helpdesk@email.uah.edu
and mention that you would like an account. Again accounts are limited
to UAH faculty and staff employees and Student Assistants with their
supervisor's approval. Be sure to include
your full name, telephone number, department name,
type of computer (Windows,
Macintosh or UNIX) and your email
address when you contact the help desk.
Once your account
is established, normally taking one or two working days, an Computer & Network Services
Field Service Technician will be dispatched by the Help Desk to install and
configure the Netscape client software on your PC. To avoid any
unnecessary delays, be sure to indicate a time that will be best to meet you
at your office.
Whom should I contact
if I experience problems
accessing my Campus Calendar Server system account or cannot remember my Calendar
account password?
Contact the Computer & Network Services
Help Desk.
In most cases they will be
able to address your problem over the phone. They may be reached at 824.2639.
If further research is required they will put you in contact with the
appropriate Computer & Network Services personnel.
Can you reach the
UAH Calendar Server through a web browser?
Sure. This
is one of the major benefits of the Campus Calendar Server product. Of course
the web browser client is not quite as colorful as the full featured Campus
Calendar Server client software which is installed on your PC, but it does provide
WWW access to your calendar information. Here is the web site address
for the web browser version of the UAH Calendar Server if you have an existing
UAH Calendar Server account and would like to give 'er a try...

Online documentation now
available for Campus Calendar Server Client:
User Guide:
NOTE: This document is a little dated, but is still provides you some
helpful information on the current client software.
If you have been working with your Campus Calendar Server Client for a while,
you probably have some questions with respect to features of the
program. Sometimes it's nice to have a document to refer to when you
have a question. The Campus Calendar Server Client User Guide is an excellent
resource for you. The document itself is 131 pages long so it is rather
long to be printed on your local printer. To help you have access to the
guide we have included a PDF or "Portable Data Format" version of
the document for download to your local PC. To view the document, you
will need to "first" download and install the Adobe Acrobat Reader
