Planning to upgrade the BlackBerry Domain and test the
latest version during the upgrade process
If your organization has a distributed BlackBerry® Enterprise Server environment, you can test the latest BlackBerry
Enterprise Server version during the upgrade process before you upgrade the existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server
instances that have user accounts assigned to them.
You can consider using the phased upgrade process to test the latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server version if one or
more of the following conditions applies to your organization's environment:
You want to upgrade the existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and the BlackBerry Configuration
Database.
You want to test the latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server version before you upgrade the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server instances that have user accounts assigned to them.
You are not a database administrator and you do not have permissions to upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration
Database using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server setup application.
Your analysis indicates that you must install the BlackBerry Administration Service on a computer that is separate
from the computers that host the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances.
Test user accounts and extra computers are available for testing the latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server version.
During the phased upgrade process that includes testing the latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server version, you install
a temporary BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance with test user accounts. A database administrator backs up and
upgrades the BlackBerry Configuration Database using the database upgrade scripts. You install the BlackBerry
Administration Service, upgrade the temporary BlackBerry Enterprise Server, test the user accounts on the temporary
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and upgrade the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and BlackBerry Enterprise
Server components one at a time.
