Oracle Calendar offers several clients for communicating with the Calendar server. Although each client offers the same core functionality, each has unique advantages as well. Since all calendar information is stored centrally, you can install and use the clients interchangeably.

Oracle Connector for Outlook
The Oracle Connector for Outlook is a plugin for Microsoft Outlook. When installed into an Outlook profile, Oracle Calendar users may use Outlook's unified environment for email and calendaring. Oracle Calendar provides the enterprise calendaring environment, as well as Outlook's Global Address List; email is provided by any IMAP- and SMTP-compliant email servers, such as OIT Mailbox Services or a local Exchange server. The Oracle Connector also support direct Outlook synchronization with handheld devices; if your device has a sync option for Outlook, you can sync it to Oracle Calendar with the connector.

Handheld Device (Smartphone, Cell Phone or PDA)
Oracle Calendar offers two methods for synchronizing a personal digital assistant, Desktop Calendar Sync or Mobile Data Sync. These methods are mutually exclusive, and should not be intermingled.
Mobile Data Sync
If you are a very mobile worker and would benefit from anywhere, anytime synchronization, Oracle Mobile Data Sync may be your preferred option. In this scenario, users connect their devices to OIT's' Oracle Calendar server through the Internet, using any available TCP/IP data connection. This connection might be a cellular provider's wireless data service, or a Wi-Fi network such as UCInet Mobile Access.
Oracle Mobile Data Sync delivers remote synchronization of data stored in Oracle Collaboration Suite, including Calendar events, tasks and contacts, with any devices that supports the SyncML data language. Support for SyncML data varies among manufacturers and devices. Please review Oracle's documentation for additional information on individual devices.

Smartphone (Android, Blackberry, iPhone/iOS)
Most “smartphones” do not include a SyncML client. Third parties offer clients for most smartphone platforms.
| Android | Blackberry | iPhone/iOS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NextHaus | SyncJE | ||
| Synthesis | SyncML Client Standard | ToDo+Cal+Sync | |
| SyncML Client Pro | SyncML PRO |
If you sync your PDA with Mobile Data Sync and the SyncML client, do not use Desktop Calendar Sync.
Cell Phone
Most data-capable “feature” cell phones include a SyncML client. Consult your phone's manual or the manufacturer's web site for configuration instructions; SyncML may not be referred to by name, but with terms like “remote synchronization”. Data connections on cell phones usually require a supplemental service, consult your phone provider for details.

Desktop Calendar Sync
Oracle Calendar Sync synchronizes your Oracle Calendar data with your legacy PDA, from your desktop computer, using Palm Desktop for Windows or Macintosh (Palm devices), or Microsoft ActiveSync (Pocket PC devices). This enables you to download meetings, contacts, daily notes, day events, holidays, and tasks to your PDA. You can make updates and then synchronize them back to Oracle Calendar through your device's synchronization process.

Palm HotSync and Microsoft ActiveSync each allow devices to sync over a network connection with the host PC, as though it were connected with a physical cable. This option works best with a fast data network, however, and Mobile Data Sync may be a more attractive option.
The Oracle Connector for Outlook supports syncing through Outlook.
The Oracle Calendar Sync conduits are not needed if you are using the Outlook connector.
