Specifying a BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service as a central push server
At least one BlackBerry MDS Connection Service in your organization's BlackBerry Domain must act as a central push
server. Central push servers receive content push requests from server-side applications that are located on an application
server or on a web server. Central push servers also manage push requests and send application data and application
updates to BlackBerry device applications.
If a BlackBerry Domain includes one BlackBerry MDS Connection Service that is version 5.0 or later, by default, that
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is the central push server. If two BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instances that
are version 5.0 or later exist in a BlackBerry Domain, by default, both instances are central push servers. If more than two
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instances (that are version 5.0 or later) exist in a BlackBerry Domain, the first two
instances that start are central push servers. You can configure any BlackBerry MDS Connection Service in your
organization's BlackBerry Domain to act as a central push server. If a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service in your
organization's environment is earlier than version 5.0, it is not designated as a central push server automatically when it
starts.
