Installing the Fall 2008 DST update on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

To install the Fall 2008 DST update on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, complete one of the following options:

Option 1 - Script patch

The script patch can be used to upgrade all of the BlackBerry smartphone user accounts on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server at one time without the need to send any additional .cod files. This script patch is only available for BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 and later. Previous BlackBerry Device Software versions do not support the synchronization of the Time Zone database using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Note: This Option is only supported with BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 or later. BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.344 to 4.1.0.385 (except for BlackBerry Device Software 4.1.0.347) should proceed to Option 2 - Time zone update cod patch method.



Select the appropriate script patch for your version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server, attached to this article.
