Configuring the setup application to use a non-default static port number for the database server

If the Microsoft® SQL Server® in your organization's environment does not use the default static port number (port 1433), the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server setup application cannot connect to the database server. Before you run the setup application, you must create an alias to the database server that specifies the port number that the database server is using. To configure an alias, you can use Microsoft SQL Server Configuration Manager or the cliconfg.exe tool. You can configure the name of the alias so that it is the same name as the Microsoft SQL Server. You must use the cliconfg.exe tool if the database server is Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
