Specify a shared network folder
When you add the shared network folder location to the BlackBerry Administration Service, the folders for apps, wallpaper, and certificates are created automatically in the shared network folder.
Before you begin:
- Create a shared network folder on the network that hosts the BlackBerry Device Service. This shared network folder must not be located in <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion. If you configure a BlackBerry Administration Service pool, ensure that all BlackBerry Administration Service instances have access to the shared network folder location. All instances in a pool use the same shared network location.
- Verify that the service account for the BlackBerry Administration Service Application Server has write permissions for the shared network folder.
- Verify that the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Device Service has read and write access to the shared network folder. The BlackBerry Device Service requires write access to the shared network folder when apps are published.
- In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view.
- Click BlackBerry Administration Service.
- Click Edit component.
-
In the Network drive
section, in the BlackBerry Administration Service
shared network drive field, type the path of the shared network
folder using the following format:
\\<BlackBerry_Administration_Service_computer_name>\<shared_network_folder>
The shared network path must be typed in UNC format (for example, \\ComputerName\Applications\Testing). - Click Save all.
After you finish: Back up the shared network folder.
