Create a BlackBerry Configuration Database
If the security required by your organization does not allow applications to have permissions to create or upgrade databases, you can run the CreateDB executable on the database server to create the BlackBerry Configuration Database instead of using the setup application. After you create or upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database using the CreateDB executable, you can run the setup application using a Windows account with minimum requirements to the database server.
Before you begin: Verify that the appropriate permissions are configured on the database server.
1.Log in to the computer that hosts the database server using a local administrator account or a Windows account that has SQL administrator permissions.
2.Copy the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation files to the database server that you want to configure as the host server for the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
3.Extract the contents to a folder on the computer.
4.Navigate to <extracted_folder>\Database.
5.Open the BesMgmt.cfg file in a text editor.
6.Change the file to include information that is specific to your organization's environment.
7.Save and close the file.
8.Open a command prompt window.
9.Change to <extracted_folder>\Database.
10.Type CreateDB.exe BESMgmt.cfg.
