Scheduling 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) 1500/1800/2000 - 2000

●RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000 - 4000

●Reservations are not supported by Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800-0.

Guidelines for Scheduling Reservations

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 RealPresence Resource Manager, ReadiManager®, SE200, 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.

In the RealPresence CloudAxis Solution, Reservations are scheduled in the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) component and should not be scheduled directly in the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000 component.

Resources

●System resources are calculated according to the Collaboration Server’s license. For more information, see Forcing Video Resource Allocation to CIF Resolution.

●System resource availability is partially checked when reservations are created:

If a conference duration extension request is received from an ongoing conference, the request is rejected if it would cause a resource conflict.

If several reservations are scheduled to be activated at the same time and there are not enough resources for all participants to be connected:

The conferences are activated.

Participants are connected to all the ongoing conferences until all system resources are used up.

●If sufficient resources are not available in the system and a scheduled Reservation cannot be activated, the Reservation is deleted from the schedule.
