Applications on BlackBerry devices. Do not add application files to the shared network folder or make changes to the files
that the BlackBerry Administration Service stores in the shared network folder.
To make a BlackBerry Java Application available for installation on BlackBerry devices, you must add the application to the
BlackBerry Administration Service application repository. After you add an application to the application repository, you
can add the application to a software configuration, specify whether the application is required, optional, or not permitted
on BlackBerry devices, and assign an application control policy to the application to control the access permissions for the
application. You assign software configurations to user accounts to install or upgrade BlackBerry Java Applications on
BlackBerry devices, or to remove BlackBerry Java Applications from BlackBerry devices.
Specify a shared network folder for BlackBerry JavaApplications
Before you begin: Create a shared network folder on the network that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. This shared
network folder must not be the same network share location that is used for BlackBerry Device Software, and it must not be
located in <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion .
The administration accounts that you use for the BlackBerry Administration Service must have write permissions for the
shared network folder. The administration accounts that run the BlackBerry Administration Service Application Server
service must have write permissions for the shared network folder. BlackBerry devices and the computers that host the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances must have access to the shared network folder.
You must specify a shared network folder for BlackBerry Java Applications using the BlackBerry Administration Service
before you add any BlackBerry Java Applications to the application repository. The BlackBerry Administration Service must
access the shared network folder to install BlackBerry Java Applications on BlackBerry devices. Do not add application
files to the shared network folder or make changes to the files that the BlackBerry Administration Service stores in the
shared network folder.
