Upgrade implications for the BlackBerry Configuration Database
When you upgrade to the latest BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version, you must upgrade to the lastest BlackBerry Configuration
Database version. To upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database, you can use the setup application to run the database
upgrade scripts during the installation of the BlackBerry Administration Service or the installation upgrade of a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server instance. If you do not want to use the setup application, you can run the database upgrade scripts on the
database server to upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database. If you run the database upgrade scripts on the database
server, you cannot manage the BlackBerry Enterprise Server until you install the BlackBerry Administration Service and a
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance.
When you upgrade to the latest BlackBerry Configuration Database version, the upgrade process deletes the role and the
administration accounts. After you complete the BlackBerry Enterprise Server upgrade process, you must add the roles and
administraion accounts to the BlackBerry Configuration Database using the BlackBerry Administration Service.
After you upgrade to the latest BlackBerry Configuration Database version, you cannot install earlier versions of BlackBerry
Enterprise Server components. The BlackBerry Administration Service cannot manage earlier versions of BlackBerry Enterprise
Server components that you install after you upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
The latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server version supports a BlackBerry Configuration Database that MSDE hosts, but you can
upgrade MSDE to a version of Microsoft® SQL Server® that Microsoft supports. After you create a copy of the BlackBerry
Configuration Database, you can move the copy to the later version of the Microsoft SQL Server before you upgrade the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server to the latest version.
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server for IBM® Lotus® Domino® version 5.0 does not support the IBM® DB2® UDB. Support for the
IBM DB2 UDB is planned for a future release.
Synchronizing data over the wireless network automatically
When you upgrade the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, the BlackBerry Synchronization Service sends updated service books to
the BlackBerry devices that can synchronize data over the wireless network. BlackBerry® Device Software versions 4.0 and later
can synchronize data automatically if the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is running.
If the data does not synchronize automatically, you must use the BlackBerry Administration Service to resend the service books
and synchronize the data.
