Specify a shared network folder for BlackBerry Java Applications
You must specify a shared network folder for BlackBerry® Java® Applications using the BlackBerry Administration
Service before you add any BlackBerry Java Applications to the application repository. The BlackBerry Administration
Service must access the shared network folder to install BlackBerry Java Applications on BlackBerry devices. Do not
add application files to the shared network folder or make changes to the files that the BlackBerry Administration
Service stores in the shared network folder.
Before you begin: Create a shared network folder on the network that hosts the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. This
shared network folder must not be the same network share location that is used for BlackBerry® Device Software,
and it must not be located in <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion.
The administration accounts that you use for the BlackBerry Administration Service must have write permissions for
the shared network folder. The administration accounts that run the BlackBerry Administration Service Application
Server service must have write permissions for the shared network folder. BlackBerry devices and the computers
that host the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances must have access to the shared network folder.
