Administration Guide Sending software and BlackBerry Java Applications to BlackBerry devices

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 Java Applications

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.
