Attention: Domino folks!
Potential hang while upgrading the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on IBM Lotus Domino to 5.0.3.
This issue is logged as IBM
SPR JPAI8E4NTW .
Problem
The potential hang is triggered based on a specific interaction between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the mail server to process unread marks for BlackBerry enabled users. During this process the BES passes over a list of NoteIDs to the mail server. If the size of this list is > 10K and the mail server interacting with the BES has transaction logging enabled, the mail server can experience a hang. Its difficult to predict if any one list would be greater than 10K of unread messages. To be conservative, any environment with larger mail files and transaction logging enabled should request this fix.
Secondary issues that may show up are deadlocks involving semaphores & server crashes. However, the primary indicator for this issue is the hang. No hang will be experienced on the BES Domino server itself.

Fix: The fix for SPR JPAI8E4NTW is in
8.5.2FP2 and 8.5.3.
The mail servers which interact with the BES must be upgraded. The BES server does not need to be upgraded.
Knowledge Sharing - BES 5.0.3 needs Domino mail servers to be 8.5.2FP2 or later
