  1. Back up the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
  2. Prepare the new Microsoft SQL Server.
  3. Restore the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
  4. Configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

  ---

  Task 1 – Back up the BlackBerry Configuration Database

  To back up the BlackBerry Configuration Database, complete the steps for the appropriate environment.

  Microsoft SQL Server

  1. Open Enterprise Manager (Microsoft SQL Server 2000) or Microsoft® SQL Server Management Studio (Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
  2. Right-click the BlackBerry Configuration Database (for example, BESMgmt).
  3. Select Backup Database.
  4. Click Add to specify the Directory Name and File Name.
  5. Click OK to accept the settings.
  6. Click OK again to start the backup process.
  7. Close Enterprise Manager when the process is complete.

  Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE)

  1. From a command prompt, type osql -E and press ENTER.Note: If you are logging in to a named instance of the Microsoft SQL Server, use the following command syntax to log in:
     

     osql -E -S <Microsoft_Server_name>\<instance_name>

  2. Type the following commands in the specified order:1> backup database <BlackBerry_Configuration_Database_name> to disk = “C:\<BlackBerry_Configuration_Database_name>.bak”2> go

  Task 2 – Prepare the new Microsoft SQL Server

  To prepare the Microsoft SQL Server, complete the following four steps:

  Step 1

  Depending on the environment, assign the appropriate permissions.

  3. Right-click Logins and select New Login.
  4. From the General tab, click the double quotation marks ( “” ) button.
  5. From the Global Address List, select the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server service account.
  6. Click Add, then click OK.
  7. On the Server Roles tab, select Server Administrators and Database Creators.Note: In BlackBerry Enterprise Server software version 4.1, the System Administrator role is needed for role-based administration.
  8. Close Enterprise Manager (Microsoft SQL Server 2000) or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (Microsoft SQL Server 2005).

  MSDE

  1. Log in to the new Microsoft SQL Server.
  2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
  3. Expand Local Users and Groups.

  7. Click OK, and then close the Computer Management window.

  Step 2

  Depending on the environment, turn on the correct server protocols.

  MSDE or Microsoft SQL Server 2000

  1. Click Start > Run, type svrnetcn and click OK. The Microsoft Server Network Configuration Utility opens.
  2. Make sure that TCP/IP and Named Pipes are both listed as protocols that have been turned on.
  3. Close the Microsoft Server Network Configuration Utility.
  4. If a protocol is turned on in step 2, restart the Microsoft SQL services.

  Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express or Microsoft SQL Server 2005

  1. Click Start > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > Microsoft Server Configuration Manager > Microsoft Server 2005 Network Configuration.
  2. Select the Microsoft SQL Server instance that will be used for the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
  3. If necessary, turn on the TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols.
  4. If a protocol is turned on in the previous step, restart the Microsoft SQL services.

  Step 3

  Make sure the Microsoft Server Agent service is running.

  Note: This service does not exist in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express.

  1. Open the Windows® Control Panel, and then open Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Verify that the Microsoft Server Agent service is started and that the Startup type is set to Automatic.
  3. Close the Services window.

  Step 4

  Update the BlackBerry Configuration Database schema.

  Important: If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software was installed to create a blank BlackBerry Configuration Database on a new Microsoft SQL Server instance, do not perform the following task because the schema has already been updated.

  1. Download the installation package for the version of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server being used.
  2. Extract the contents of the installation package.
  3. Copy the Database folder to the new Microsoft SQL Server.
  4. Go to the Database folder and open the BESMgmt.cfg file in a text editor, such as Notepad.
  5. Locate the DB_NAME=BESMgmt line and make sure that the name specified matches the BlackBerry Configuration Database name.
  6. If you are using a named instance of Microsoft SQL Server, change the SERVER=local line to SERVER=<Microsoft_Server_Name>\ <instance_name> and close the file. Save the changes.
  7. From a command prompt, go to the Database directory.
  8. Type createdb.exe BESMgmt.cfg and press ENTER.
  9. After the command has finished executing, close the command prompt.
