Server software and operating system requirements

In addition to core requirements for all 
BEMS
 services, the following prerequisites apply to the 
Docs
 service:

Network Capabilities and Resources

  • The computer that hosts 
    BEMS
     must be a domain member and have access to the 
    Microsoft Active Directory
    .
  • Network shares must be accessible from 
    BEMS
    .
  • Microsoft SharePoint
     sites must be accessible from 
    BEMS

Database Requirements

A blank 
Microsoft SQL Server
 database is required for a new installation of the 
BlackBerry Docs
 service. It is recommended that you name the database "BEMS_Docs". The installer extends the schema during the installation process.
If you install the 
Docs
 service on a separate computer, two 
Microsoft SQL Server
 databases are required. One for the 
Docs
 service and one for the 
BlackBerry Push Notifications
  It is recommended that you name the databases "BEMS_Docs" and "BEMS_Core4".
If you are migrating an existing database from 
BlackBerry Share
, see Appendix A: Migrating your Good Share database to BEMS-Docs.

CMIS Requirements

Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is an open standard that allows different content management systems to inter-operate over the Internet. The 
Docs
 service supports content management systems that support CMIS.
Consult your vendor documentation to determine whether your system is supported by CMIS and whether that support comes via AtomPub or Web Services. If both are supported, Atom Pub is recommended. You must have the binding URL for this support.
Only 
Microsoft Active Directory
 users are supported for CMIS. That is, the content management system must be connected to 
Microsoft Active Directory
 for user authentication for 
Docs
 service to support it.
