6 What is BES12? What is BES12? 1 BES12 is an EMM solution from BlackBerry. EMM solutions help you do the following: Manage mobile devices for your organization to protect business information Keep mobile workers connected with the information that they need Provide administrators with efficient business tools With BES12, you can manage the following device types: BlackBerry 10 BlackBerry OS (version 5.0 to 7.1) ios Android Windows Phone You can manage these devices from a single, simplified UI with industry-leading security. Key features of BES12 Feature Management of many types of devices Single, unified UI Trusted and secure experience Balance of work and personal needs You can manage BlackBerry 10, BlackBerry OS (version 5.0 to 7.1), ios, Android, and Windows Phone devices. You can view all devices in one place and access all management tasks in a single, web-based UI. You can share administrative duties with multiple administrators who can access the management console at the same time. Device controls give you precise management of how devices connect to your network, what capabilities are enabled, and what apps are available. Whether the devices are owned by your organization or your users, you can protect your organization's information. BlackBerry Balance and Secure Work Space technologies are designed to make sure that personal information and work information are kept separate and secure on devices. If the device is lost or the employee leaves the organization, you can delete only work-related information or all information from the device. 6

7 What is the BlackBerry Resource Kit for BES12? What is the BlackBerry Resource Kit for BES12? 2 The BlackBerry Resource Kit is a collection of tools that you can use to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot devices that are associated with BES12. You can download the BlackBerry Resource Kit from The BlackBerry Resource Kit for BES12 includes the following tools: Tool BES12 Log Monitoring Tool BlackBerry Push Initiator Tool BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12 A command-line tool that you can use to monitor the information that is written to the log files for BES12 components. You can specify actions that you want the tool to perform when it finds specific values, such as text strings. For example, you can configure the tool to run a custom batch file when it finds a specific text string in a log message. An application that you can use to push data to apps installed on BlackBerry 10 devices. For example, you can push mapping information about folders in an organization's network that BlackBerry 10 device users can then access using the BlackBerry Work Drives app without the users needing to configure access to the folders. You can customize the data for group members or individuals. You can create a batch file to specify the mapping information that the BlackBerry Push Initiator Tool uses. You can use a scheduling tool to run the batch file. An application that you can use to migrate user accounts between BlackBerry Enterprise Server domains, and between BES5 version and BES12 domains. The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12 has separate installation files and documentation from the other BlackBerry Resource Kit tools. If you are using tools from previous releases of the BlackBerry Resource Kit, visit docs.blackberry.com/brk to see the documentation for the appropriate version of the BlackBerry Resource Kit. 7

8 What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? 3 You can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter to move user accounts from one EMM domain to a different EMM domain. A BES12 domain consists of a BES12 database and any BES12 components that are associated with it. A BlackBerry Enterprise Server domain consists of a BlackBerry Configuration Database and any BlackBerry Enterprise Server components that are associated with it. You can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter when your organization installs BES12 and you want to migrate users from BES5 to BES12. You can also migrate users with devices that run BlackBerry OS (version 5.0 to 7.1) from BES12 back to BES5. You can also use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter when your organization upgrades from an earlier version of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to a more recent version, or if you need to move user accounts between existing EMM domains. For example, if you want to upgrade your organization's BlackBerry Enterprise Server to version 5.0.4, you can create a new EMM domain for version and use the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter to move user accounts to the new BlackBerry Configuration Database. You can also move user accounts from a production domain to a test domain and back. When you run the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter, users do not need to delete BlackBerry OS device data or reactivate their devices. After the migration process completes, the destination BES12 or BES5 instance resends the service book to devices over the wireless network, device activation starts, and the synchronization of organizer data and calendar information starts. Note that the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter does not move server settings (for example, the software configurations or IT policies that are assigned to user accounts). Prior to using the tool, evaluate the available migration options. For more information about the available migration options between BlackBerry Enterprise Server EMM domains, visit to read the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Upgrade Guide. For more information about upgrading from BES5 to BES12, visit docs.blackberry.com/bes12 to read the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 Planning Guide. BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter modes You can run the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter in live mode or in bulk mode to move user accounts from a source EMM domain to a different destination EMM domain. Live mode Running the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter in live mode refers to migrating one or more user accounts from a source BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 to a destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 in a different EMM domain. Both the source and destination instances must be running and must use a different SRP ID. Live mode is the default mode of the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter. 8

9 What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? When using live mode, the tool monitors organizer data synchronization, calendar synchronization, and the delivery of IT administration commands (such as Resend IT Policy or Switch Service) to verify that the migration process completed successfully. Bulk mode Running the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter in bulk mode refers to migrating all of the user accounts from a source BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 to a destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12. The source and destination instances must not be running, except for the BlackBerry Administration Service and the IBM Domino services on the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server (if applicable). In bulk mode, the tool does not monitor IT administration commands (such as Resend IT Policy or Switch Service) to verify that the migration process completed successfully. If you enable bulk mode and configure custom default settings to apply to individual user accounts (the IT policies, software configurations, and groups to assign to user accounts), the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 must process the different settings for each user account. As a result, the migration process might take longer than expected to complete. If you enable bulk mode, it is a best practice to configure a single default setting to apply to all user accounts. You can change the IT policy, software configuration, and group assignments using the BlackBerry Administration Service or BES12 management console after the migration is complete. If you want to assign custom default settings to individual user accounts as part of the migration process, it is a best practice to use live mode. Options for migrating user accounts Option Move one or more user accounts at a time If your organization's environment includes more than one EMM domain, and you want to move select user accounts from one EMM domain to another, you can use the tool in live mode. For example, you can use this option if you maintain multiple EMM domains for different groups in the organization, and you want to move users over to the EMM domain for a different group, or if you install a new BES5 or BES12 environment as a new EMM domain, and you want to move users to the new production environment. Move all user accounts on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server If you want to move all of the user accounts on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to a new EMM domain, you can use the tool in bulk mode. For example, you can use this option to upgrade your organization's environment in phases to BES12. If you enable bulk mode and configure custom default settings to apply to individual user accounts (the IT policies, software configurations, and groups to assign to user accounts), the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 must process the 9

10 What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? Option different settings for each user account. As a result, the migration process might take longer than expected to complete. If you enable bulk mode, it is a best practice to configure a single default setting to apply to all user accounts. You can modify the IT policy, software configuration, and group assignments using BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 after the migration is complete. If you want to assign custom default settings to individual user accounts as part of the migration process, it is a best practice to use live mode. Data that the migration process doesn't move Data User accounts that are not BlackBerryenabled Administrative role assignment Group data Software configurations The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter doesn't move user accounts that are not BlackBerry-enabled (for example, administrator accounts that cannot be assigned a device). If you move user accounts from BES5 to a different BES5, or you move user accounts between BES5 and BES12, the migration process doesn't move the administrative roles that are assigned to the user accounts. You can manually assign administrative roles to the user accounts after the migration process completes, or you can create groups for user accounts and assign roles to the groups in the destination BES5 or BES12. The migration process doesn't migrate groups or any of the data associated with groups. Instead, you can create a group on the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 and specify it as the group that you want to assign user accounts to during the migration process. The migration process doesn't migrate software configurations, including BlackBerry MDS Runtime app data. You can create a software configuration on the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 and specify it as the software configuration that you want to assign to user accounts during the migration process. IT policy data By default, the user accounts that you move to a destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server are assigned the Default IT policy after the migration process completes. User accounts migrated to BES12 are assigned the BlackBerry OS Default IT policy. Before you start the migration process, you can select the IT policies on the 10

11 What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? Data destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 that you want to apply to the user accounts after the migration process completes. Alternatively, before a migration, you can assign an IT policy to a group in the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BES12 and then assign the user accounts to the group. Note: If you move user accounts to a destination BES5 or BES12, there might be a delay before the destination server applies the selected IT policies or groupassigned IT policies to devices. During this delay, the Default IT policy is applied to the devices. BlackBerry MDS Integration Service data The migration process does not migrate any data associated with the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service. The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service has been deprecated as of BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP3. BlackBerry Browser configuration settings Synchronized public contacts and databases, and additional private contact folders The migration process does not migrate the BlackBerry Browser configuration settings on the device that is associated with a user account. The migration process does not migrate public contact folders and databases that you have not published globally on the destination BlackBerry Administration Service. The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter does not publish public contact folders and databases. In a Microsoft Exchange environment, synchronized public contacts and additional private contact folders can be moved only to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that is version 5.0 SP1 or later. Validation that the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter performs Global validation The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter performs the following actions before it begins the migration process: Verifies that BES12 or the BlackBerry Administration Service is installed in the destination EMM domain. Sends a test command to verify that BES12 or the BlackBerry Administration Service is available and can respond. Verifies that the required API and web services are installed on the computer that hosts BES12 or the BlackBerry Administration Service. 11

12 What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? In an IBM Domino environment, the tool verifies whether skipdominobbsdreplication and skipdominobbsdvalidation are set to True in the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file to determine how to validate. It then performs the following actions: Verifies that IBM Notes is installed on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter If skipdominobbsdreplication and skipdominobbsdvalidation are not present or are set to False, verifies that the selected IBM Notes user.id can open the BlackBerry profiles databases in both the source and destination EMM domain. The default location of the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file is <drive>:\program Files (x86)\blackberry\blackberry Resource Kit for BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12\BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter. If your computer's operating system uses UAC and does not permit you to modify the configuration file at this location, open the virtualized copy of the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file in the application data folder for the current user (for example, <drive>\users\<username> \AppData\Roaming\BlackBerry\BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter). User validation The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter performs the following validation before it migrates a user account: Verifies that the user account is associated with a valid address. Verifies that the user account exists in the source EMM domain. If the destination is a BlackBerry Enterprise Server EMM domain, verifies that the user account does not already exist. If the destination is a BES12 EMM domain, verifies that if an account with the same address already exists, the account has no BlackBerry OS devices associated with it. The account may have other devices associated with it. Verifies whether it can preserve the user ID that is associated with the user's BlackBerry OS device. Verifies that an IT policy can be applied to the user's device. This verification might not be possible in any of the following scenarios: The device is running an unspecified version of the BlackBerry OS. The device is running BlackBerry OS version and the ITPolicyKeyMapping table does not exist. The device is running BlackBerry OS version In an IBM Domino environment, the tool performs the following actions: If SkipDominoBBSDReplication is set to True in the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file, the tool verifies whether the user s BlackBerry state database already exists on the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Verifies that the user s source BlackBerry state database can be opened on the source BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Verifies whether the user s BlackBerry state database has been marked for deletion in the BlackBerry profiles database on the destination or BES12. Verifies whether a duplicate BlackBerry state database exists on the destination BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The default location of the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file is <drive>:\program Files (x86)\blackberry\blackberry Resource Kit for BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12\BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter. If your computer's operating system uses 12

13 What is the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter for BES12? UAC and does not permit you to modify the configuration file at this location, open the virtualized copy of the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file in the application data folder for the current user (for example, <drive>\users\<username> \AppData\Roaming\BlackBerry\BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter). 13

21 System requirements Related information Supported environments, on page 15 Troubleshooting preview errors, on page 56 Troubleshooting migration errors, on page 62 Premigration considerations, on page 26 Required permissions in an IBM Domino environment To run the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter in an IBM Domino environment, you require the same permissions in the source EMM domain and the destination EMM domain that you require as an administrator of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for IBM Domino. For more information, visit to read the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Installation Guide and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Administration Guide. Permission Resource Notes.ini file You must configure read and write permissions in the notes.ini file. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Installation Guide Section: System requirements: BlackBerry Enterprise Server IBM Notes user.id file The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter uses the IBM Notes user ID of the administrator to perform IBM Notes operations, in the same way that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses a server ID to perform IBM Notes operations. The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter prompts for the user ID and password before it runs a migration preview. The IBM Notes user ID must be a member of the LocalDomainServers group. The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter might not be able to use the user ID if the user ID file name (username.id), stored in the notes.ini file, contains accented characters (for example, ã). Replicating IBM Domino databases Before you begin the migration process, you must verify the setting for skipdominobbsdreplication in the configuration file for the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter (EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config). By default, the file is located at <drive>:\program Files (x86)\blackberry\blackberry Resource Kit for BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12\BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter. If your computer's operating system uses UAC and does not permit you to change the configuration file at this location, open the 21

22 System requirements virtualized copy of the EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config file in the application data folder for the current user (for example, <drive>\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\blackberry\blackberry Enterprise Transporter). Perform one of the following actions: If skipdominobbsdreplication is not set to True, do not replicate the IBM Domino databases before you run the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter. The BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter performs a database replication before it migrates user accounts. If skipdominobbsdreplication is set to True, you must replicate the BlackBerry state database for each user account in the destination EMM domain before you begin the migration process. If you migrate a user account without replicating the user s BlackBerry state database in the destination EMM domain, all information for the user account is lost, and you must remove the user account from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, delete all data on the device that is associated with the user account, add the user account again to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and reactivate the device. 22

BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 Installation Guide In the destination BES12 administrative console, create the groups, IT policies, roles, and software configurations that you want to duplicate from the source EMM domain. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 Administration Guide If you enable bulk mode and configure custom default settings (IT policies, software configurations, and groups) to apply to individual user accounts, the destination BES12 must process the different settings for each user account. As a result, the migration process might take longer than expected to complete. If you enable bulk mode, it is a best practice to configure a single default setting to apply to all user accounts. You can modify the IT policy, software configuration, and group assignments using the BES12 management console after the migration is complete. If you want to assign custom default settings to individual user accounts as part of the migration process, it is a best practice to use live mode. Back up the BES12 database. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 Configuration Guide In an IBM Domino environment, you can copy the BlackBerry state databases and BlackBerry profiles databases from the source BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to the destination BES12.
