Configuring BlackBerry Policy Service throttling for PINencryption keys
If the BlackBerry Policy Service detects that you updated the PIN encryption keys in the BlackBerry Configuration
Database, the BlackBerry Policy Service verifies which BlackBerry device users require a new key and then schedules a
certain number of users at equal intervals over the next 60 second period. The default setting is 60, or one process per
second. You can adjust the number of users that the BlackBerry Policy Service schedules over the 60 second interval using
throttling.
The BlackBerry Policy Service only applies throttling when it automatically detects updates to the PIN encryption keys. The
BlackBerry database notification system starts automatic detection. If you turn off the BlackBerry database notification
system, a five-minute timer starts automatic detection.

Configure BlackBerry Policy Service throttling for PIN encryption keys

1. Copy the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation files to a computer that hosts the primary BlackBerry Enterprise
Server instance.
2. Extract the contents to a folder on the computer.
3. At the command prompt, navigate to <extracted_folder>\tools.
4. To configure the maximum number of processes for PIN encryption keys that a BlackBerry Policy Service can process
at one time before it schedules additional processes, type traittool -global -trait PolicyThrottlingP2PKeyRate -set
<value>
, where <value> is 0 or greater. The default value is 60. If you configure a value of 0, theBlackBerry Policy
Service will not throttle the processes to update PIN encryption keys.
5. Press ENTER.
Example: Configuring the maximum number of processes for PIN encryption keys
If you want to configure the maximum number of processes for PIN encryption keys to 30, you can type traittool -global -
trait PolicyThrottlingP2PKeyRate -set 30.
Configuring BlackBerry Policy Service throttling forapplication polling
The BlackBerry Policy Service performs application polling to verify when it must send applications to all BlackBerry
devices that are associated with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance that the BlackBerry Policy Service runs on. You
can configure BlackBerry Policy Service throttling on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance to limit the database usage of
the BlackBerry Policy Service when it sends applications to devices.
