BES Environments

BlackBerry client applications can connect to a production environment using Relay Server and use BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) to provision applications and application-related artifacts.

BlackBerry application connections can occur over a cellular or Wi-Fi network However, Wi-Fi is only available when enabled on BES.

• BES Components Required By Unwired Platform
  BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is the middleware software package that is part of the BlackBerry wireless platform from Research In Motion®. BES software and services connect to Unwired Platform on the corporate LAN and redirect data sent by Unwired Server.
• BES Requirements
  Review requirements for using Sybase Unwired Platform in a BES environment.
• Updating BES Configuration for Unwired Platform Integration
  For Unwired Platform to connect with BES, you must change BES properties so that communication with Unwired Server occurs.
• Configuring BlackBerry Push Settings for Unwired Server
  Create a new BlackBerry Push Service configuration that specifies the delivery method for service users. Typically, push notifications are routed to the MDS connection service as push requests.
• Managing Unwired Platform Push Notifications on BES
  The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service receives push application requests from Unwired Server via push notifications you configure in Sybase Control Center. Unwired Server sends the notifications on to MDS as push request that are then delivered to Unwired Platform device applications on BlackBerry devices.
• Pairing the BlackBerry Client Device to a BES Server
  Pair BlackBerry devices with BES server.
• Setting JavaScript Policy
  IT departments might set a specific JavaScript policy for BlackBerry devices.
