Upgrading the BlackBerry Device Software over the wireless network
Description
The BlackBerry Provisioning System administration web site
is the Internet interface of the BlackBerry Provisioning
System. Wireless service providers use the administration
web site to manage subscribers and BlackBerry devices on
their wireless network.
The availability server is designed to manage and store
information about the availability of software upgrade
packages.
The availability server is designed to provide administrators
with information about the latest approved software
upgrade packages and recommended upgrade paths.
Wireless service providers can access this information using
the BlackBerry Provisioning System administration web
site.
The upgrade package server is designed to store and send
software upgrade packages to the BlackBerry device. It
controls the rate at which subscribers can download
software upgrade packages. Research In Motion
administrators upload software upgrade packages to this
server as they are approved.
The upgrade detail server is designed to provide the
BlackBerry device with a list of the upgrade files that are
needed for a particular wireless software upgrade.
The software upgrade database is the primary database that
contains the software upgrade information and metadata
that the BlackBerry® Infrastructure processes.
