[Grimlin]

OK, top post is updated. I made the instructions in a hurry, so they are pretty un-user-friendly. Are they understandable?

[Dawg]

This did exactly what you said it would do, which is exactly what I wanted.

I wonder why RIM didn't include the ability to fine tune the ITPolicy in the first place. Anyway thanks! Your the man!

Probably because they would have to call it a BES. The backend is a BES with most of the functionality loss being tied to the lack of a proper console to configure things. I need to try and install the BES Console and see if you can point it to the Unite instance.

Worked like a charm.

Out of curiosity - do you know where the tracking data gets stored in the DB?

Thanks for this.

Grim,

OK, I read the bes-admin-corner thread. The last post seemed to indicate that tracking is not enabled. Is this still true, or are you able to get it to work on yours? I've got your ITPolicy2 installed, and have the SyncLBS table but there is no data in it.

Never mind. Though one ref said 4.2.2 HH OS was required for this, other (more correct) source says 4.3 required. Which I don't have.

Tracking is not enabled by default. Thus the policy change. You will know it is working when the device gets a prompt that tracking is now enabled. Which policy have you put your users on? Do they have OS 4.2.2 or above? Do they have a device with GPS?

[hrbuckley]

Thanks for the reply. I have only one unit so far (mine) which is an Unlocked AT&T 8820 with 4.2.2. I only see two policies default and Unite, which now I wonder if that means I had a problem...

Going through the steps again I notice:

                                
bcp Unite.dbo.ITPolicy2 in ITPolicy2.sql -T
accept all defaults except save tofile
Do you want to save this format information in a file? [Y/n] n                  
                                                                                
Starting copy...                                                                
SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0                                               
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP data-file                                                                          
                                                                                
0 rows copied.                                                                  
Network packet size (bytes): 4096                                               
Clock Time (ms.): total        1

I wonder if I got a corrupt ITPolicy2.sql file. Uncompressed it is 234 bytes.

Anyway I did get the default policy pushed to the BB and got my old browsers back. I played with Device Management (restricting phone use etc) but opened everything back up. Now I have the Unite policy and can't seem to change it. But since there was an error with BCP that is probably something to worry about later.

Wirelessly posted

Did you open the file and save it before you ran bcp?
It could have scrambled the formatting. What does the itpolicy2 table look like?

[hrbuckley]

Might have, curiosity killed the cat. I will re-extract from the zip and try again. The table looks ok, just the two policies in it.

Then it most definitely did not import. Those policies are the default ones that come with Unite.

[hrbuckley]

Tried downloading the zip and extracting again. Still get the same error.

[ebj75]

I had the same error message. Which I attributed to opening and probably saving the file prior to running bcp.

I re-downloaded and unziped. Re-ran the bcp command and it worked fine. Make sure the datestamp matches - 2008-05-13 9:28AM (which is the date stamp of ITPolicy2.sql in the zip file)
