BlackBerry Administration Service fixed issues

If one BlackBerry® Administration Service instance sent a reconciliation task to a second instance, and the connection between the instances dropped so that the reconciliation task failed, reconciliation stopped on all BlackBerry Administration Service instances. The first BlackBerry Administration Service instance then wrote the following error to its log file: “org.jboss.remoting.CannotConnectException: Can not get connection to server. Problem establishing socket connection for InvokerLocator [sslsocket:”. The BlackBerry Administration Service checks for unprocessed reconciliation events every 24 hours and restarts them at that time. For more information, contact RIM Support. (DT 1159175)
