Administration Guide Configuring how the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service connects to BlackBerry devices By default, the maximum number of scalable socket connections is 2000. 6. Click Save all. Prevent the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service from using scalable HTTP By default, the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service 5.0 SP2 or later uses scalable HTTP, which permits the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to use fewer system resources and to establish more socket connections at one time than previous versions of the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. When a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses scalable HTTP, it streams data to and from BlackBerry devices instead of storing and forwarding the data. If you want a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to process data as it did in previous versions of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you can prevent a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service from using scalable HTTP. 1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > MDS Connection Service. 2. Click the instance that you want to prevent from using scalable HTTP. 3. Click Edit instance. 4. On the General tab, in the Socket connection settings section, in the Use scalable HTTP drop-down list, click No. 5. Click Save all. Specify the port number that the web server listens on for push application requests You can specify the port number that the web server listens on for HTTP requests and HTTPS requests from serverside push applications. You should change the default port parameters only if a port conflict exists with another service on the same computer. 1. In the BlackBerry® Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > MDS Connection Service. 2. Click the instance that you want to specify the port number for. 3. Click Edit instance. 4. On the General tab, in the Connection section, perform one of the following actions: • To specify the port for HTTP requests, in the Web server listen port field, type the port number. • To specify the port for HTTPS requests, in the Web server SSL listen port field, type the port number. 5. Click Save all. After you finish: • Restart the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. • Notify your organization's push application developers that you changed the port number that the web server listens on for push application requests.
