Installation and Configuration Guide
Installing the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
The BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service provides users with access to online content and applications on your
organization's intranet or the Internet. By default, the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server includes the BlackBerry MDS
Connection Service.
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service might use increased system resources when it processes content requests.
If you want to minimize the impact this has on message delivery, you can install the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service by itself on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
You can connect multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instance.
When you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a separate computer, you must assign at least one
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance to it during the installation process. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server information to connect to the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
When you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a separate computer, the installation process installs
the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry
MDS Connection Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
Installing the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
The BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service connects the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application on BlackBerry devices
to enterprise applications.
The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service might use increased system resources when it processes content requests.
If you want to minimize the impact this has on message delivery, you can install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
by itself on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
When you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, you must select whether to create a BlackBerry MDS
Integration Service pool, or add the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service instance to an existing pool. The BlackBerry
MDS Integration Service pool permits multiple BlackBerry MDS Integration Service instances to balance the volume
of traffic between them. For more information on BlackBerry MDS Integration Service pools, see the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server Planning Guide.
When you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service on a separate computer, the installation process installs
the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service and BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry
MDS Integration Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service stores application data in the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database.
The setup application installs the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database on the same database server that
hosts the BlackBerry Configuration Database. You can install multiple BlackBerry MDS Integration Service instances
that can use the same BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database.
During the installation process, you create the administrator account and publisher account for the BlackBerry MDS
Integration Service. The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service uses the administrator account and publisher account
when it publishes applications.
