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.

BlackBerry push notifications alert offline users to the availability of new items awaiting retrieval on Unwired Server. Push notification uses an IP connection only long enough for the Send/Receive data exchange to complete. BlackBerry Push notifications overcome issues with always-on connectivity and battery life consumption over wireless networks. Configuring push notifications is just one part of the BlackBerry environment setup.

  1. Obtain the MDS connection service URL.
    1. Open the BlackBerry Manager, then from the Explorer View, click BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Servers > ServerName .
    2. Click MDS Services, and copy the MDS Connection Services Server URL.
  2. In Sybase Control Center, or Application Settings, ensure the Notification Mode is set to either Only native notifications or Online/ payload  push  with native notification, using the MDS service URL you recorded.
    For details, see Configuring Native Notifications in Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform.
    Note: If you configured Online/ payload  push  with native notification, allow a few minutes for the delivery or notification mechanism to take effect and before the value in Pending Items in Sybase Control Center changes accordingly. See Reviewing the Pending Items Count for Messaging Applications in System Administration.
