BlackBerry Synchronization Service
The BlackBerry Synchronization Service synchronizes organizer data such as tasks, memos, and contacts over the wireless network so that the entries on BlackBerry devices are consistent with the entries in the email applications. With wireless data synchronization and wireless email reconciliation, users are not required to connect their BlackBerry devices to the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize organizer data and reconcile email messages.
The BlackBerry Synchronization Service backs up user settings and data over the wireless network from BlackBerry devices to the BlackBerry Configuration Database. You can restore the user settings and data to BlackBerry devices when the BlackBerry devices are activated over the wireless network. By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server automatically backs up the user settings and data over the wireless network.
Synchronization features
You can change the settings for synchronization features so that users can manage the user experience and system resources in your organization's environment.
Feature | Description |
|
|
initial synchronization | When the BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends service books to BlackBerry |
| devices to turn on wireless data synchronization, an initial data synchronization |
| process starts. The process synchronizes the data for calendar items and |
| messages between users' BlackBerry devices and the email applications on |
| their computers. It also resolves conflicting or duplicate entries to prevent data |
| loss. |
| By default, the calendar on the BlackBerry device synchronizes up to 31 days in |
| the past from the activation date, and up to 28 years into the future from the |
| activation date. |
|
|
synchronization settings | You can configure settings for wireless data synchronization that apply to |
| specific users, user groups, or all users on all BlackBerry Enterprise Server |
| instances. You can define which organizer data items the BlackBerry |
| Synchronization Service synchronizes, how data conflicts are resolved, and |
| whether changes are synchronized in both directions or in one direction only |
