Migrating BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications

Previous versions of the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service used a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database (mdss), and a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database (mdss_dis) to store BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications and application data. The latest BlackBerry MDS Integration Service version does not use a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database. During the upgrade process, the setup application merges all tables of the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database into the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database. As a result, the upgrade process does not migrate all published BlackBerry MDS Integration Service applications such as BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications.

To migrate BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications, you must republish the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications to the BlackBerry MDS Application Repository after the upgrade process completes, or you must migrate the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service version 4.1 database before you start the upgrade process. If you migrate the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database and install new BlackBerry MDS Integration Service instances instead of upgrading the existing BlackBerry MDS Integration Service instances, you must reconfigure any backend notification subscriptions. If you migrate the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database, BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry® MDS Runtime versions earlier than version 4.5 remove the applications that are installed.

Migrate data from the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service discovery database to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database

  1. Open the Microsoft® SQL Server® console.
  2. Generate scripts for the following tables in the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service discovery database:
    • REGISTRY_APP
    • REGISTRY_APP_LOCALE
    • REGISTRY_APP_KEYWORD
    • REGISTRY_APP_DEPEND
  3. To create the tables in the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database, execute the generated scripts against the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database.
  4. Export data from the tables that are listed in step 2.
  5. Import the data into the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database.
After you finish: To migrate user accounts to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service pool after you complete the upgrade process, use the BlackBerry Administration Service to update the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to use the new BlackBerry MDS Integration Service pool.
