Upgrade a BlackBerry Configuration Database

Verify that you configured the proper permissions on the database server.
If you are not a database administrator and you do not have permissions to modify the BlackBerry® Configuration Database, you can request that a database administrator with the appropriate permissions upgrades the BlackBerry Configuration Database before you run the setup application and upgrade the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.
  1. Log in to the computer that hosts the database server as a local administrator or using a Windows® account that has SQL administrator permissions.
  2. Copy the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation media to the database server that hosts 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. Navigate to <extracted_folder>\Database.
  10. Type CreateDB.exe BESMgmt.cfg.
