BlackBerry Administration Service for Microsoft Exchange Help 5.0 SP3

Managing the distribution settings for a specific job

When you create a software configuration and assign it to user accounts, change a software configuration that you assigned to user accounts, or assign or change an IT policy, the BlackBerry® Administration Service creates jobs to deliver the resulting objects or settings to BlackBerry devices. Before the BlackBerry Administration Service delivers a specific job, you can change the delivery schedule of the job, priority of the job, and how the job delivers IT policies, BlackBerry Java® Applications, BlackBerry® Device Software, and standard application settings to BlackBerry devices.

If you do not change the schedule, priority, or distribution settings for a job, the job uses the default schedule and distribution settings that you configure in the BlackBerry Administration Service.
