Element Information

Element

Description

conference

Grouping for conference-related events.

Remarks

When only 2 users are in an IM conversation, the topology used is one-to-one. As additional participants are added, the Communicator Web Access server transitions the conference into a topology whereby the server creates a central point process that acts as a hub to the conference participants. This process is responsible for communicating events to all participants. It is possible for the transition to fail because an invitee does not respond to an invitation. The transition can take a noticeable amount of time. During this escalating phase, the Unified Communications AJAX API Client application must be informed that no messages are passed to other participants.
