Restart a BlackBerry Enterprise Server component using Windows Services
1. On each computer that hosts the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server component, in the Windows® Services, restart
the services for the component.
2. If you want to restart all of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, you must restart the Windows Services
in the following order:
• BlackBerry Administration Service - Application Server
• BlackBerry Administration Service - Native Code Container
• BlackBerry Mail Store Service
• BlackBerry Instant Messaging Connector
• BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
• BlackBerry Dispatcher
• BlackBerry Attachment Service
• BlackBerry Controller
• All of the remaining services for BlackBerry Enterprise Server components
Best practice: Restarting more than one BlackBerry Administration Service
instance
To restart all BlackBerry® Administration Service instances without issues, the best practice is to stop all instances
before you begin restarting the instances.
If you must keep at least one BlackBerry Administration Service instance running while you restart all instances, you
should restart the instances one at a time and verify that each instance that you restart is running before you restart
the next instance.
Using the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool
The BlackBerry® Enterprise Trait Tool is a stand-alone command line tool that you can use to configure specific
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server traits. You can configure most BlackBerry Enterprise Server settings using the
BlackBerry Administration Service, but you must use the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool to configure specific settings
that are not available in the BlackBerry Administration Service.
