Applying an application control policy to a BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application
In BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version 4.1 SP5 and later, you can apply an application control policy to a BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Application that was created using BlackBerry® MDS Studio version 2.0 or later or the BlackBerry® Plug-in for Microsoft® Visual Studio® version 1.1 or later. You can use an application control policy to specify the types of data on BlackBerry devices that the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application can and cannot access. For example, you can apply an application control policy that restricts a BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application from accessing the organizer data on BlackBerry devices.
To apply an application control policy to a BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application, you must add an application launcher file (.cod) for the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application to a software configuration. You must then apply an application control policy to the application launcher file. When you assign the software configuration to users, the application launcher file installs on BlackBerry devices and enforces the application control policy for the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application. Only BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry® MDS Runtime version 4.5 or later can use the application launcher file.
