Changing SRP keys from one BES server to another(BES4.1 to BES5.0)
 

I am planning to move my BES 4.1 SRP key to the new BES 5.0 server,
What kind of issues i might be facing, i did consulted a Blackberry tech who told me that it should be fine if i am just transferring the SRP from one server to another

both the BES 4.1 and BES 5.0 are on different servers and they use different database and different email systems.
I have already installed BES 5.0 trial with gapps and it works fine.
BEs 4.1 is on exchange while we are migrating to google apps and i am using BES 5.0 on google apps.

Is there anything i should be aware of or transferring the SRP from one BES to another wont cause a massive downtime.
I am just trying to avoid any surprises during migration

thanks for your help

BES SRP's are platform aganostic, does not care.

just make sure BES runs for 4 hours when you switch SRP or you will need to do some manual activations.

are you referring to the new BES server. So need to make sure the new BES runs for 4 hours after SRP transfer.
Is there a specific reason for it?

thanks

so all devices will get the new SRP info

knottyrope, transfer of SRP key = new SPR key?

PrabThind? Questions:-

1. Are there users on BES4 still? (Yes/No)
2. If 'Yes', are they supposed to be moved to the BES5? (Yes/No).
3. If 'Yes', then you might want to consider contacting RIM to get a migration kit.
4. Alternatively, get another set of new SRP ID + Auth Key and use the Enterprise Transporter tool for user migration from BES4->BES5.

If all above is "No", then you can simply just transfer the SRP key over from BES4->BES5.
