BlackBerry Enterprise Server for IBM Lotus Domino Upgrade Guide
4. Type any of the following parameters, in the order in which they appear:
For example, to migrate users to a database server named sqlserver1 and a BlackBerry Configuration
Database named besmgmt, and to write migrate.log and status.tmp files to the root directory, type
nbesmigration.exe -d “sqlserver1” “besmgmt” -l migrate.log -t status.tmp -w.
Stop the old BlackBerry Enterprise Server
After you migrate the user accounts to the new BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you must prevent the old BlackBerry
Enterprise Server from connecting to the wireless infrastructure. If you attempt to connect two BlackBerry
Enterprise Servers to the wireless infrastructure using the same SRP credentials, the credentials are deactivated.
1. In the notes.ini file, in the ServerTasks entry, remove BES.
2. Save and close the file.
3. In the Windows Services panel, stop all BlackBerry services.
4. Set the startup type for all BlackBerry services to Disabled.
Improve the startup performance of the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server
After some BlackBerry Enterprise Server upgrades, new service books are sent to every BlackBerry device.
Sending all the new service books at once can result in slow startup times. To improve startup performance, set a
limit to how many service books the BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends each hour.
Complete the following task on any BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation that includes the Policy Server.
1. On the computer on which you installed the new BlackBerry Enterprise Server, open the Registry Editor.
2. In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\BlackBerry
IT Admin Server key, create the following DWORD values:
• SBThrottlingEnabled: Set to 1.
• SBThrottleLimit: Set, in decimal format, to the maximum number of service books the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server should send every hour. The default is .60.
