Data flow: Receiving configuration updates on an 
Android
 device

Diagram showing the steps and components mentioned in the following data flow.
  1. An action is taken in the management console that triggers a configuration update for an 
    Android
     device.
  2. Updates are applied in 
    BlackBerry UEM
    , and objects that must be shared with the device are identified.
  3. The 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     contacts the 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
    , through the 
    BlackBerry Router
     or TCP proxy server, if installed, and the external firewall over port 3101.
  4. The 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
     uses the FCM to notify 
    Android
     devices that an update is pending. 
  5. The GCM sends a notification to the 
    BlackBerry UEM Client
     on the 
    Android
     device to contact the 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
    .
  6. The 
    BlackBerry UEM Client
     contacts the 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
    , on port 3101 on the external firewall, to request any pending actions and commands that must be performed on the device.
  7. The 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     replies, through the 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
     and 
    BlackBerry Router
     or TCP proxy server, if installed, with the highest priority action.
    Priority is given to IT administration commands, such as Delete device data and Lock device, followed by requests for device information, installed apps, and so on. The 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     sends only one command at a time. If necessary, additional information is included in the response.
  8. The 
    BlackBerry UEM Client
     inspects the response, schedules the command to be processed, and waits for the command to be run. The 
    BlackBerry UEM Client
     sends a response to the 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
    , through the 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
    , to update the command status. The status indicates whether the command ran successfully and provides an error message in the event of a failure.
  9. If more actions or commands are pending for the device, the 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     replies, through the 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
    , with the highest priority action. If no actions or commands are pending for the device, the 
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     replies with an idle command.
    Steps 7 to 9 are repeated until no more pending actions or commands must be performed on the device.
