  • Email profiles
  • Wi-Fi
     profiles
  • VPN profiles
  • Proxy profiles
  • BlackBerry Dynamics
     connectivity profiles
  • BlackBerry Dynamics
     profiles
  • App configuration settings
  • CA certificate profiles
  • Shared certificate profiles
  • Certificate retrieval
  • User credential profiles
  • SCEP profiles
  • CRL profiles
  • OSCP profiles
  • Certification authority settings (Entrust and PKI connector only)
  • Client certificates (app usage)
  • Any policies and profiles that are associated with the policies and profiles you select

Considerations
IT policy passwords
If any of the source IT policies you selected for 
Android
 devices has a minimum password length of less than 4 or more than 16, no 
BlackBerry UEM
 IT policies or profiles can be migrated. Deselect or update the source IT policy and restart the migration.
Profile names
After migration, you must make sure that all SCEP, user credential, shared certificate, and CA certificate profiles have unique names. If two profiles of the same type have the same name, you must edit one of the profile names.
Directory groups
To migrate directory groups, the source database and destination database must each have only one directory configured. This directory must be configured the same way on both the source and destination database. If the directories are not set up this way, directory groups are not migrated.

Apps activated with 
BlackBerry Dynamics

When you migrate connectivity profiles and certificate usage to 
BlackBerry UEM
, consider the following guidelines:

Considerations
Connectivity profiles
When 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 connectivity profiles are migrated, the values from the App servers tab are not migrated. The values are populated using the default values from the destination 
BlackBerry UEM
 server.
When 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 connectivity profiles are migrated, some of the values from the Infrastructure tab are not migrated. The administrator must manually edit each migrated profile and set the values for the Primary 
BlackBerry Proxy
 cluster and the Secondary 
BlackBerry Proxy
 cluster.
Apps
If an app entitlement from the source server doesn't exist in the destination server, that app assignment is not migrated. The app group is migrated.
Certificate usage
Certificate usage is migrated, except for:
  • Certificate usages that already exist on the destination server
  • Non
