Upgrade Guide
Upgrade implications for the BlackBerry Configuration
Database
When you upgrade the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to the latest version, you must also upgrade the BlackBerry
Configuration Database to the latest version. You can use the setup application to install or upgrade BlackBerry
Enterprise Server components such as the BlackBerry Configuration Database. The installation or upgrade process
upgrades the BlackBerry Configuration Database automatically so that the database and components run the same
version. If you do not want to use the setup application to upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database, you can
run the database upgrade scripts on the database server.
You cannot manage the BlackBerry Enterprise Server until you install the BlackBerry Administration Service version
that is the same as the BlackBerry Configuration Database version or upgrade the BlackBerry Administration Service
so that it is the same version as the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
You must move an MSDE database such as a BlackBerry Configuration Database from MSDE to a version of Microsoft®
SQL Server® that Microsoft fully supports. To upgrade a BlackBerry Configuration Database and move it from MSDE
to Microsoft SQL Server, you must create a copy of the BlackBerry Configuration Database, move the copy to Microsoft
SQL Server, and then upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the Microsoft SQL Server to the latest version.
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server for IBM® Lotus® Domino® versions 5.0 SP1 or later do not support the IBM® DB2® UDB.
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.
Upgrade application for BlackBerry Enterprise Server
You can install or upgrade the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, including service packs, by running the setup application.
You can also upgrade the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to a service pack by running the upgrade application for
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which is available for download from www.blackberry.com/support.
If the BlackBerry Configuration Database is version 5.0 or later in the BlackBerry Domain, you can use the upgrade
application for BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP3 to perform any of the following tasks:
•
upgrade a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that is version 4.1 SP7 or later to version 5.0 SP3
•
install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on a computer in the
BlackBerry Domain that does not already host a BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance or component
