Configuring how data is pushed to devices
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service connects apps on BlackBerry devices to push applications. Push applications are hosted on an organization's application servers or web servers, and are capable of pushing data to apps on devices. For more information about push applications, see the developer documentation at at https://developer.blackberry.html.
You can configure push initiators and push rules that define which push applications can send application data and updates to devices, and which users can receive push requests. You can also use the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to control the flow of data that is sent to devices. Managing the flow of data can minimize the amount of data that is sent over the wireless network and help to reduce the impact of pushing data to devices that are out of network coverage, turned off, or otherwise unavailable.
