Administration Guide Sending software and BlackBerry Java Applications to BlackBerry devices Sending software and BlackBerry Java Applications to 6 BlackBerry devices Making BlackBerry Device Software and Java applications available to users You can make BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available on a network drive, and make the software available to a user account or user group using one of the following methods: • send BlackBerry Java® Applications, the collaboration client, or the BlackBerry® MDS Runtime to BlackBerry devices over the wireless network • install BlackBerry Device Software on or add applications to a BlackBerry device that is connected to the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Manager • make the BlackBerry Device Software and applications available so that a user can install the software and add applications using the application loader tool You can also create a software configuration to define how the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server delivers the applications to BlackBerry devices, and which applications users can add to BlackBerry devices. Making software and applications available on a network drive To make the BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available for users to install on or add to their BlackBerry devices, you must save the BlackBerry Device Software and applications to a network drive and create a software index. You can maintain only one version of software or an application on the network drive at a time. Install the BlackBerry Device Software on a network drive You install the BlackBerry® Device Software on a network drive to make the BlackBerry Device Software available to users to install on their BlackBerry devices. Before you begin: Your organization's wireless service provider must provide you with the BlackBerry Device Software installation media. 1. Copy the BlackBerry Device Software installation media to a network drive in your organization's environment. 2. On the network drive, double-click the .exe file. 3. Complete the installation process. After you finish: Verify that the files are located at :\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files. 23

Sending software and BlackBerry Java Applications to

BlackBerry devices

Making BlackBerry Device Software and Java applications available to users

You can make BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available on a network drive, and make the software available to a

user account or user group using one of the following methods:

•

send BlackBerry Java® Applications, the collaboration client, or the BlackBerry® MDS Runtime to BlackBerry devices over

the wireless network

•

install BlackBerry Device Software on or add applications to a BlackBerry device that is connected to the computer that

hosts the BlackBerry Manager

•

make the BlackBerry Device Software and applications available so that a user can install the software and add applications

using the application loader tool

You can also create a software configuration to define how the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server delivers the applications to

BlackBerry devices, and which applications users can add to BlackBerry devices.

Making software and applications available on a network drive

To make the BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available for users to install on or add to their BlackBerry devices, you

must save the BlackBerry Device Software and applications to a network drive and create a software index. You can maintain

only one version of software or an application on the network drive at a time.
