Upgrade Guide Upgrading the BlackBerry Enterprise Server using the cutover upgrade process and create a BlackBerry Configuration Database Upgrading the BlackBerry Enterprise Server 9 using the cutover upgrade process and create a BlackBerry Configuration Database Using the cutover upgrade process, you can install the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server on a new computer and move user accounts and server information from the previous BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the new one. You can use the cutover upgrade process to create a new BlackBerry Configuration Database and BlackBerry Domain. If you create a new BlackBerry Configuration Database, you require SRP credentials for the new BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You can move user accounts from the previous BlackBerry Configuration Database to the new BlackBerry Configuration Database using the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter. When you use the cutover upgrade process, all BlackBerry devices receive new IT policies. BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.1 or later receive new service books and wireless data synchronization occurs. Advantages of this upgrade process include: • You can move user accounts back to the previous BlackBerry Enterprise Server if you experience any issues with the new one. • You can upgrade server hardware. • Users experience minimal service interruptions because user accounts remain active on the previous BlackBerry Enterprise Server until you start the new one.

After you create or upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database using the CreateDB executable, you can run the setup application using a Windows® account with minimum requirements to the database server. Before you begin: Verify that the appropriate permissions are configured on the database server. 1. Log in to the computer that hosts the database server using a local administrator account or a Windows account that has SQL administrator permissions. 2.

Upgrading the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
using the cutover upgrade process and create
a BlackBerry Configuration Database
9
Using the cutover upgrade process, you can install the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server on a new computer and move
user accounts and server information from the previous BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the new one.
You can use the cutover upgrade process to create a new BlackBerry Configuration Database and BlackBerry
Domain. If you create a new BlackBerry Configuration Database, you require SRP credentials for the new BlackBerry
Enterprise Server. You can move user accounts from the previous BlackBerry Configuration Database to the new
BlackBerry Configuration Database using the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter.
When you use the cutover upgrade process, all BlackBerry devices receive new IT policies. BlackBerry devices that
are running BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.1 or later receive new service books and wireless data
synchronization occurs.
Advantages of this upgrade process include:
•
You can move user accounts back to the previous BlackBerry Enterprise Server if you experience any issues with
the new one.
•
You can upgrade server hardware.
•
Users experience minimal service interruptions because user accounts remain active on the previous BlackBerry
Enterprise Server until you start the new one.
Disadvantages of this upgrade process include:
•
You require an extra computer.
•
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends new service books to all of the BlackBerry devices that are capable of
synchronizing data over the wireless network.
Create a BlackBerry Configuration Database
If the security required by your organization does not allow applications to have permissions to create or upgrade
databases, you can run the CreateDB executable on the database server to create the BlackBerry® Configuration
Database instead of using the setup application. After you create or upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database
using the CreateDB executable, you can run the setup application using a Windows® account with minimum
requirements to the database server.
Before you begin:
Verify that the appropriate permissions are configured on the database server.
1.
Log in to the computer that hosts the database server using a local administrator account or a Windows account
that has SQL administrator permissions.
2.
Copy the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation media to the database server that you want to configure as
the host server for the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
3.
Extract the contents to a folder on the computer.
4.
Navigate to
<extracted_folder>
\Database.
