(Also, SP6 is available for BESX 3.6) Functional Changes: Time zone mappings for time zones not supported by CDO for Microsoft Windows To prevent meeting appointments that occur in time zones not supported by CDO for Microsoft Windows from displaying incorrectly, you must manually map unsupported time zones to CDO for Microsoft Windows time zones. (SDR 49822) Note: This functional change applies to BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.0 SP2 only. MAPI call tracking and statistics reporting added to BlackBerry Enterprise Server logs The BlackBerry Enterprise Server now tracks MAPI calls to the Microsoft Exchange Server and writes MAPI statistics to the BlackBerry® Messaging Agent log. (SDR 36952) Ability to customize the interval for resending pending messages You can configure the number of days for which the BlackBerry Enterprise Server resends messages that are not received on BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds™. Any messages that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot send in that time frame expire. (SDR 55544) Ability to save BlackBerry Manager SQL authentication credentials You can save the SQL username and password when using SQL authentication for the BlackBerry Manager, so you are not prompted to enter the SQL credentials when you open the BlackBerry Manager. (SDR 45346) Ability to turn on JavaScript™, style sheets, and HTML tables in the BlackBerry Mobile Data Service browser. BlackBerry Handheld Software 4.0 SP2 turns off JavaScript, style sheets, and HTML tables in the Mobile Data Service browser.

i'm kind of mad that two of my open SDR issues did not make the known issues list... :-)
|
Anyone tested this yet?
Also, I love how all SP1 hotfixes have been removed from the Blackberry download site :P |
SDR 54570
If you provision a handheld at the administration computer using the BlackBerry Handheld Configuration Tool and message prepopulation is configured in the BlackBerry Manager, all messages, instead of the number of messages that you configured, prepopulate on to the handheld. They're "fixing" this? This is something my users and I all want, not a bug to be fixed. How do I make this happen all the time? |
And I love how the timezone issue is still a manual workaround
|
Guess they aren't supporting the new CDO.dll 7233.0 and 7233.28, or even list it as a known issue when accepting meeting requests on the BB and getting a red X about 10 seconds after having a checkmark. Explaining that to 300+ users that nothing is wrong and don't worry about the X in this case...

We'll probably start testing this today as well. Rollout to clients wont be for a while though.
Optus customers should expect to have it thrust upon them right away however -_- |
Loaded it Yesterday! Everything seems to be working fine. It only 8:30 AM though.
|
Did you notice that Windows Server 2003 SP1 is required (if your using Server 2003) and if not, you need to apply MDAC 2.8 SP1.
|
Yea, I noticed that as well. That's different than it was for SP1. We're not currently using SP1 on Server 2003.
Anyone install this on a non-SP1 Server 2003 machine and have success? |
Found this on RIM Knowledgebase.

Does BES4 SP2 upgrade JRE to the current version?
|
It has JRE 1.4.2_08 included with the install. I already updated to that version, so I'm not sure if it does or not. Just to note that the issue with the memory leak is due to something more than just JRE 1.4.2_03. I installed the JRE update to 1.4.2_08 and still got the OutOfMemory errors. RIM said that it was assigned to SDR 61214, although I'm not sure how/where to check the status of an SDR (if anyone knows, please post).
|
Thanks. Sorry to hear the memory leak still isn't fixed. Know of any reason why I shouldn't install JRE 1.5.0.04 with BES? (I saw your post on the registry change required.)
|
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't. RIM stated that 1.5.0 was an upgrade path that could be taken and supported, so why not.
|
Well previous versions of BES have been known to not install on anything but 1.4, but if this installs ok with 1.5 then I dont see why not...
|
Just be sure to change the startup parameter for the MDS service, else it'll just fail.
|

Also, Jibi, What registry change do I need to make if upgrading to JRE 1.5 I couldn't find what was discussed here by searching. |
