Appendix A: Migrating your Good Share database to BEMS-Docs
Good Share
database to BEMS
-DocsA
Good Share
deployment can
migrate/repurpose its database for the BEMS
-Docs service to support existing user transition from the BlackBerry Share
client to BlackBerry Work
. First, however, BEMS
and the Docs Configuration
Console must be installed in in the environment.Client App Support Considerations
The following limitations must be considered in determining whether or not a migration is
advisable:
- BlackBerry Shareclients communicate with theBlackBerry Shareserver only; they are not supported by theBEMS-Docs service
- BlackBerry WorkDocs communicates with theBEMS-Docs service only; it is not supported by theGood Shareserver.
Given these inherent limitations, it is recommended that you continue to run
your deployed
BlackBerry Share
servers in parallel with
the BEMS
-Docs service for a duration
sufficient to conveniently transition your users from their BlackBerry Share
client app to BlackBerry Work
.After upgrading your
Good Share
database to BEMS
-Docs,
discontinue using the old Good Share
Console and use
only the BEMS
Dashboard Home
> Docs pages for administration going forward.Otherwise, you will want to consider two basic migration scenarios:
- Migrating with continuedBlackBerry Shareclient support
- Migrating toBlackBerry Workonly (noBlackBerry Shareclient support)
