BES Logs ... What's in them? Part 2 of 20 (ALRT log)

Posted 06-23-2009 at 04:00 AM by hdawg (hdawg's BES blog)

Welcome to Part 2 of at least a 20 part series looking at the BES logs. (Part 1)

Each day I'll talk about a specific type of log file and hopefully we'll all learn something.

The ALRT log is fed data through the BlackBerry Alert service. The BlackBerry Alert service also feeds data to the Windows Application log. You'll notice a duplication of data in the ALRT log and Windows Application log.

Over the next 20 days, each day I'm going to talk about one specific BES Log file along with:

Configuring BlackBerry Configuration Database high availability

Posted 06-19-2009 at 04:00 AM by hdawg (hdawg's BES blog)

BlackBerry® Enterprise Server 5.0 officially rolled in support for Microsoft® SQL Server® database mirroring.

Historically BES Administrators were forced to either setup transactional replication or some form of manual (or scripted) log shipping to achieve high availability with their BlackBerry® Configuration Database.
