Upgrade a pilot environment
to a production environment.
If you have a separate BlackBerry
Configuration Database in your pilot
environment, you must consider how to use
the BlackBerry Configuration Database in
your production environment.
You can make the pilot BlackBerry
Configuration Database your new
production BlackBerry Configuration
Database. When you upgrade the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use this
new BlackBerry Configuration Database,
use wireless enterprise activation to
migrate user accounts to the new database.
You can also upgrade your existing
production BlackBerry Configuration
Database to BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Version 4.1.4. When you configure the pilot
BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use the
production BlackBerry Configuration
Database, use wireless enterprise
activation to migrate user accounts to the
new database.
BlackBerry devices must be running
BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.0 or
later to use wireless enterprise activation.
