Deploying Applications to Devices

This section describes how to deploy customized mobile applications to devices.

• Device Registration
  Replication devices are used exclusively with replication-based synchronization (RBS) mobile business objects that rely on RBS data cached in the consolidated database. RBS device users are automatically registered when they first synchronize data. There is no device configuration required; the only tasks an administrator performs are monitoring RBS device activity and deleting RBS devices.
• Signing
  Code signing is required for applications to run on physical devices.
• Provisioning Options for BlackBerry Devices
  To provision the application to BlackBerry devices, you can automatically push the application to the device or send a link to device users so they can install it when desired. For small deployments or evaluation purposes, device users can install the application using BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
• BES and BIS Provisioning for BlackBerry
  BlackBerry devices that are connected to a production environment using relay server can use either BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) or BlackBerry Internet Server (BIS) to provision supported device types.
• BlackBerry Desktop Manager Provisioning
  You can deploy BlackBerry applications to physical devices through BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
